As I had an untested reassembled motor (got it running last night). So I stayed closer to home. First race of our points series. My first race of the year. Got it done. 6 rds and $2K richer. Can ran great. Race #2 tomorrow. Doug

No weight enforcement or heads up runs if 2 cars are in the same class. Actually works out real well. Great group. We had 45 cars this weekend. Races still to come.
