i can probably make it. just let me know what day.

i'm kind of surprised that Tommy is not interested. i think he just recently got his s4 to stage 2. i'm curious to see what kind of 1/4 # he can get. also curious to see what Carl can run.

Jon u better change ur tires. i don't want to hear that you are running with bad tires

Anyone know what the status of that mini-track is at the back? Seems like a waste if they're never going to open it.

Yes it is open to spectators for $15 fee, racers are by invitation only. This is not the Pinks All Out race but a last chance to get onto the Pinks All Out race on July 26th, four .500 pro tree bracket classes are planned with each class purse consisting of: Winner $1000, giant trophy, and invite to Pinks All Out. Runner-up $400 and runner-up trophy. $200 to the 1/4 finals and $50 to the 1/8 finals. I'm planning on running with a mild 93 octane tune so should run mid 11's and would love to see ya out there, should be a good race with a planned 450 cars invited.
