Bring it on Tom the more the marrier. S/ST is fun and the 55 would fit right in. The photo of my car was Friday Saturday the crowds where there.

I would really, really like to(and would any other year).....just don't know how much I'm racin this season. It's definately one of my top picks for 11 but we'll see how busy I get this summer.....I quite possibly will be building 3 houses. I think I parked next to you in 07, which was the only time I've been there. I REALLY liked the place...not a bad drive either.

I thought the folks on here bitchin about the way they get treated (by the NHRA) would take a stand. I guess it's not really that bad after all. I say thank you to the folks that made the trip...the ones that race just to race. They are keeping it alive, and I will be happy to join them again soon! I often hear the racers saying "support the manufactures that support racing" hell the racers won't even support the sanctioning body. I hope that I don't develope the "I'm to good for IHRA syndrome" when I come out. I know I never did when I was out before!

Wade, you do realize that it was only January 29th, right? Most people aren't even thinking of racing yet. Sure it's nice to get out of the cold weather in late January for a trip down to Sunny Florida, but in order to do that it also means that you need to do a lot of work on your stuff between November 1st and mid-January, not to mention the holidays are mixed in there are well.

IMHO, IHRA screwed up by having this race so darn early. I realize they'll be racing in Bradenton in 2 weeks, but I think their turnout would have been MUCH better had they scheduled this in late-February, or early March.

Just my $0.02.

Yeah, We did park next to each other, that's the year you won (your Div) I think ,wasn't it? We're going to Immokalee Wednesday. We'll be parked by Rudy Matthews and Craig Porter. Good luck with whatever racing you do this year.

Thank you. Tell Rudy I said hey.....Him and my dad go WAYYYYYYYY back (bout as far back as you can go). That was 07 when we parked together, which was the year I won my division and the national HR title. Good luck down there
