Good deal!

Hopefully they can use the months between the opening and the Feb Nats to get everything dialed in. I'm sure Oct. 12 will be a mad house!

Cool! - so to speak . Anyone know what the last sentence means? Are they adding another venue to the existing track or is this another track altogether in the Phoenix area .

I read it to mean another track in the Phoenix area.

They need one on the north or west side.... but I'd be happy to hear them opening one just about anywhere in the valley.

That's how I read it also. Wife said " what will they be adding to the existing track"? I will be at SIR on Saturday, sweating my ars off with everyone else. Only supposed to be 107 that day.

No hookie was my problem last time there. Redoing my CalTracs so they don't hit so hard - and cranked the T-bars up a turn. Also going to a 3.7" blower pulley ( from a 4") to try and compensate for the wonderful DA that I expect to see.
