I'll look forward to the spring as I plan to debut a new SS/FM motor.

Thanks to all who came by to offer a hand. Dee and I enjoyed your support and company.

Have a great Holiday season, hope to see you all next year.

Rick & Dee Pike

Hey Rick, so sorry for your breakage. I enjoyed meeting you & your wife in Vegas and then getting a chance to chat with you today. Have a safe trip home.

They withdrew their entries before the cutoff, like several others. Perhaps the points chase is less nerve racking away from the track, hopefully they are getting their fancy clothes ready for the banquet!

Great video! Is John Irving's SS/MA car a leaf spring rear suspension?

Our cars are about .25 to .30 faster than vegas and most others seem to be the same. Conditions are very fast.

You both made nice passes Mike. Give Paula a hug for me.
