    Rocky says they're gonna run at Indy too. Racing not exhibition (if I understand it correctly). Maybe he'll jump on here and update things.

    Just noticed you're avatar. Looks like you might be more than a casual observer! :) Congratulations on the show at the Gators. Ya'll gonna make the Indy deal?

    Sometime it's kinda hard to connect the names here with the names on The Gasser Madness group.

    I just got off the phone with Rocky. This is way too cool. They will have two rounds of qualifying, eliminations on Sunday and the semi's and final round on Monday. We all want to thank Steve Gibbs and Eileen Daniels for this great opportunity. I'm not going to miss this for anything.

    As I have heard, the Indy deal is to be invitational.....After the AA/GS class at the NHRR at Bowling Green....so it seems to me if you want to go to Indy, plan early, show up, qualify and put on a hellof a show at the NHRR.....I know that's what I'm going to do....See you at Bowling Green......

    Great video by Joe and Donna Welsh!!!!! The Gator Nationals were cool...but the best is yet to come! The 2012 season is shaping up to be an historical year! With period correct AA/GS cars making their return after 40 years! And the really cool part is this is only the start. Look for true period correct AA/FD's, AA/FC's and AA/FA's to follow suit!

    I think alot of fans are going to be very happy. I sure wish our good friend Pork Zartman could be here to see it. It was 49 years ago this year that he won there.
