The Vegas race is as good as we get out west for numbers of Stock and SS, i'd love to see that "all run" or 128 cars with a bunch of alternates.

Division Six is interesting. If you live in Medford or Grants Pass, the closest points race is Woodburn,then Kent, Washington, one divisional, and the only national meet, then Eastern Washington, and Mission in BC.Sounds like a lot of towing for them. From Southern Oregon, the closest national open is Redding, div.7. Sounds like the travel situation is pretty common everywhere you look. There's got to be a way to have more opportunities to earn grade points without killing the race budget.I visited my brother nine years ago in Eagle River,Alaska, and drove up to Palmer and looked at Alaska Raceway Park. It's a bit rustic out there, but it looked like a nice place to race. The view from the starting line of that big mountain a mile or two south of the track was awesome. Most scenic view from a driver's seat I ever saw.Talk about a tow from here! |
