It would be real nice to have one in the southern part of the division. Maybe Gainesville or SGMP in the fall after the 1/4 mile races are done for the year. That's when the weather is best here for racing. Late November or early December is usuall nice and cool. It's a good start for other opportunities to race our style of racing.

Now for the 1/8 racing, i will support it,if i'am around at that time,i raced at all these tracks except for 1, all them good short tracks,good people and great hooking.Like Ron said it's a place to race.i hope goes over good, there is alot of cars around here to support it, they just have to come and support it. Like James said, last year not many supported the I section of the sport.Now there is alot of question need to be answered also, but i will not post it here and let the neg.people beat this to death,like it has already started.Good luck D2 and track owners. Brian

I put all 3 of the Canadian Div.1 Opens( plus the Dutch) on my calendar this year, and the good Lord willin' we'll be at each one. Hope you can make it to TMP - Cayuga in August Brian!

Not that it matters a whole lot now, but if you are talking about the same Vega station wagon that was at the last two Dragway 42 IHRA races last fall, I don't think there was much stock legal about it even if you never put the hood up.

Mickey, you looking for a Kenworth or a Peterbilt. You could go Nostalgia with a Mack or go conservative and get an Izuzu, or go progressive and get a Mercedes Benz. No matter what, you would look good in a truck especially with a jet engine. Bye bye rag top.

Now, back to our regular scheduled thread.

U/SA air horns are cool.

Good point Mike. Back in the 70s, the late November National Open at Suffolk VA was a big race.

Heck won't be long I can run my bracket car on alcohol in stock!!

Crate motor car as stock as a copo or cobra jet

Those cars were sold new like that. Yours was not.
