You guys will LOVE the track. I sure wish they bumped up the entry some so the race paid more out. I just can't justify the tow for the pay-out. Hope you have some GREAT weater. Be safe and have fun.

I hope Todd from Marsh will have great deals going on I would have liked to see a set of small block Sidewinders to compare them to a set of ProMaxx heads.

You need to show up and see what he has. $75 for a $1k race and paying back to 1/8's is pretty good. I usually travel to keystone for BG event from central ohio. Just went to quaker city last w/e for buckeye s/ss event. Can't win if you don't go, and could miss out on a "show special" deal

Yeah John plus I am going to be there, isn't that incentive enough to do a road trip??? At least the NNS guys are smart enough to raise entry a little and pay out 1500.00 to the winner. 50 minutes from home I pay 60.00 for a chance at 1500.00 at Keystone so its a no brainer for me. Heck it cost me 30.00 in tolls to tow from the Ohio line into PA 35 miles.

Heck it cost me 30.00 in tolls to tow from the Ohio line into PA 35 miles. John this is the first Mopar race at this new track with new owners so it's a learning curve for them. At first they only were going to have a box/no box and street class and that's all. I called and discussed a few things with them and I added the NSS class, Fred Burkhart just added the early Hemi class and then they added a Q16 and late model Hemi. I'm sure if they see a good turnout that next year will be very different. Besides missing a really good race you are going to miss all the fine Mopar folks to sit and chat with as it's not all about the money!!! Have you won a race yet this year??

Heck no I never win and I hope this race is a great success. The track is fantastic and I love being with the Mopar guys. If I was 100’miles closer I would be there, trust me. It’s harder to make choices now with some many nice races. Like I said I was there last weekend, hopefully Keystone this weekend, then a long weekend sniper series at Keystone, then the make up divisional that was rained out, then the Curt George Memorial race. That finishes out June. Lol

Hey I posted this on Facebook but To you guys that are going if you get a chance hop on your quad or golf cart in the evening and take a ride up to the top of the hill. I sat at the 1/8 mile mark (1/8 mile race) last weekend and the view is so awesome. I haven’t seen that many guys sitting there watching a bracket race in years.

Depending on what happens tonight at test & tune we may take two Hemi cars out. I wish we had a bit more notice, because this looks like a good one. Will defo put it on the calendar for next year. I would like to see this event get a good turnout for its innaugaral, the promoters are two pretty good guys and deserve it!
We'll see what we see.

Getting my car back together and I have yet to run the Edelbrock carb yet let alone race it Still on the list, mount slicks and tubes on new rims,mount and plumb regulator for Eddy carb,change oil,replace shifter,chassis inspection to check all components,still don't have a solid plan for a trailer so I might end up driving it out there like I usually do. Just taking a break for lunch and then back at it Oh yeah need to re-wire the 2-step now that I'm back to a HEMI box I hope doesn't break this weekend Hope I don't run out of time and money Gus
