I like the rules. So do they have to be factory leafs, or do they allow calverts( )?
Looks like seperating the men from the boys. Just make sure your insurance is up to date.

Better get there early if you come. The track has been absolutely packed the last couple of Fridays. And I thought the economy might keep some guys at home.

This is only a couple weeks away i hope i see a couple of you guys show up

ok this is only 5 days away!!

Ok guys i have been getting a few calls with people confused so I thought i would clear it up for a few folks.
