Going to Baton Rouge? - Page 2

Ed Wright · 02-17-2009, 07:43 PM

Heck, Tim, no more rounds than I went last year, contingencies don't matter. I go for the fun, If I drove like you and your family I would worry more about the purse. Having a harder time with the lights since I "came back" than getting the car competitive. Thirty years older evidently makes a difference. I last drag raced in 1979.

My business is off some so far this year, so I don't know that I'll be going as much as last year anyway. I just sold a pile of used race parts, I'll use that money to pay for this trip. I would like to go to No Problem a couple weeks later, think I'll have enough left for that one also. Not getting into my retirement money to go racing.

I understand Tim. I'm pretty lucky to live in N.C. and close to all the div 9 races. That is why i did not want to work any of the div 9 races , so i could race. Do it while i can . Them birthdays seem like they are coming quicker and quicker. I will see you at MIR and the ROCK. Good Luck where ever you race.

I haven't been there since 1979 or earlier. Seemed like we still had NHRA WCS events there in '79. I can't remember a div 4 race without Joe's Southland Doge Hemi cars.

Btw, did a gentlman from Ark buy Sonny's Aspen, or is there still another fast SS/JA Dodge in div 4?

I was kinda hoping someone in Sweden would buy that thing.

TRIVIA TIME: How many people realize this is not the first time IHRA has gone to State Capitol Dragway for a National Event?

Ok, I've got one for you Bret... why were the suites behind the starting line torn down?
