Hey All,
Just giving everyone a heads up for next weekend with parking if you are coming down. Of course we will be racing on both days and Sunday is Cecil County's regular bracket program. There are certain spots on the "Hot Side" and "Spectator Side" that are reserved for the regular bracket guys on Sunday. These spots are marked either on the fence or on the asphalt of the "Hot Side" for their regulars. Also there is a select few spots on the "Spectator Side" right after you get your time slips and turn in that are reserved. Just giving everyone a friendly heads up as to parking for the weekend cause you may have to move if you park in a reserved spot. I really don't think we should have an issue since we park on the "Spectator Side" down towards the end of the track to make it easy for us with the BBQ. So far the weather prediction looks GREAT for that weekend - Low 80's both days and Sunny (but it's still early)!!!!!

On Friday night, we will be allowed to park in the track at no charge. The later you can get there, the better. Halsey mentioned something about it being better after 9 pm. But he is willing to work with us on that one. Just remember to tell the gate that you are with Super Gas and it shouldn't be a problem.

Gates close at 10:30 that night so if your coming down on friday you have a very small window to get in

Jack;
Did you ever take any Rogues for a test ride? I'm sure you know they could be ordered with a 343.The
Marlins were in their last year then with the gen 2 327.Bill Belden and Rich Aman worked at an AMC dealer and they told me stories about going "around the block" with the AMX's and Javelins.Funny stuff.
