No, Victory is having a race the same day in IA. Max, do you not fit in with their rules?

I fit in the rules just fine. It's just that to run in the Victory series you also have to pay something like a $150.00 inititation fee to run in their events for the year and thats on top of the race entry. I just don't hit enough of their races to justify that. However it is a good series to race with if you can hit a few of them but most are too far for me.
Question for BGR - is the Curt Race still on for next year and same date?

I believe the $150 is to enter their points series. As I remember the NMCA was the same way. You could race but you were not eligible for the year end stuff. Can anyone clarify this? Larry, I could only find Sled City 2012 dates? Doug

Doug - last year at MMW in St Louis I could NOT run with them at that ONE race unless I paid the initiation fee so I entered a gambler on Saturday and ran the normal race on Sunday. Same thing at MMW Indy. Funny part was the Victory folks could run in the regular race with us

If that's the way it is I agree it's not for me. I've run series all over the country chasing points. Had some pretty good luck in NSCA,NMCA,and Chrysler Classic. Winning championships is cool but fuel costs and purses aren't what they used to be. The days of 50 cent diesel and $4000 N/SS paychecks are long gone. Having a good time with closer venues is what i'm looking for. But don't get me wrong, I'm still as serious about winning as ever. Anybody remember this car? Doug

Where is that car now Doug? I remember you telling me about the guy you sold it to, then his brother had it? By the way those STK/SS/NSS races Nitro Joe and Jeff Ross put on are very nice events and it has a points series, plus it is a Saturday race as well.. poppaj

Do you have a link or schedule? Unfortunately the guy we sold it to was murdered along with his family on the weekend of the 2007 Chrysler Classic at 131. My son Scott was driving for him and won both days. He always said Tony was riding with him that weekend. Tony had no living relatives and the car went to his step sister. She sold it to someone in Pa. It was lettered "Last Minute Madness" at that time. Where is it now? Don't know but it won a lot of races. Doug

Doug in the early ninties my wife and i would go to the NMCA finals every year. So yes we have seen the Lickity Split 63 Dodge. I posted a few of the old NSS pictures I have a while back.
Getting old just means you were smarter than some and luckier than others.
