    I hope you do cause your car is bad ass and fun to watch.

    I know ya'll run 1/8 at Ardmore and a few other places. Maybe some exhibition 1/8 mile passes at Little River?

    I forgive you. Just getting the truck back together after tearing everything up at the THAW. That was too much fun. I'll let you see what the tail lights look like this time. See you at the drags.
     
  6. I dont have anything to run yet, hopefully someday. Until thenl, I will be there with a beer and smile cheering on the locals.

    they have been running 200+ m.p.h. cars out there this summer. I haven't heard any of the usual "that scared the hell outta me" banter from the go fast guys.

    this should be really good for the locals. I miss going to the river and getting a real good case of sunburn and mud butt.

    I don't know about the pit side bleachers. rumor has it they are gone, and they are building a new set on the spec side. seems Hutch didn't like having the spectators so close to the cars, as accidents can and will happen in the pits. (which I agree with. nothing like coming back to Your pit and finding someone has set up a barbecue pit right next to 20+ gallons of c-18.)

    Looks like the guys from G&M Motorsports will be bringing at least 2 cars. We will definately bring the 1948 Anglia (the quarter pounder)even if it's not completely painted. Also bringing the chop top 1928 Ford coupe (prehistoric mouse). Can't wait to finally "get down" on the Anglia. No short passws this year! First showing for the coupe. Hope to see ya all there !

    I probably wont make it this year. I am in the process of buying a farm and selling my house in town. I am about used up. No time to get the car ready, much less get out and play.
