Last season they had eliminated the class and offered "box or no box" only. They are also supposed to have a Mopar weekend. That would be a first time event for this track. I had not planned on buying a new set of slicks this year, but I may be changing my mind about that.

If you're a good footbraker you'll do well in any class. If you suck, you'll suck no matter what. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."
