"Live" from Topeka D5 National Open #1
 

We are back!! After a 2 1/2 year hiatus and a very successful kidney transplant, dad is back wheeling the Monte again...and chomping at the bit to head down the track in competition once again.

Division 5 kicks of the season this weekend at Heartland Park with the first of four scheduled National Opens. The weather looks to be about as perfect as it can be (by midwest standards), with mid-70s Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, so we are looking forward to a great weekend of racing.

Gates open at 3pm Friday and the Test-n-Tune runs from 4-9pm. We did a little testing last Friday at Topeka, which got the ole adrenaline pumping.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again and hoping for a good turnout!!

I'll be posting pics and qualifying sheets here and whoever else has the camera bug, feel free as well!

So...who's all making their way to Heartland Park Topeka this weekend??

Good luck Mike. Tell you're dad I said hello. Were not going to make it (car isn't ready waiting on Liberty trans to arrive). Ashton Hudson is making the trip with his CS Escort. Ed

We'll be there, can't wait to see everyone and finally get to do some racin' after a loooong winter!

Re: "Live" from Topeka D5 National Open #1
 

Too bad you can't make the trip up, Ed! We're running this new combo with our old clutch and Jerico. Waiting on a new clutch from Youngblood and a 5-speed Liberty!

It sure has been a long winter! I don't think we've ever been this pumped to get back to the races!

Re: "Live" from Topeka D5 National Open #1
 

It was great seeing you guys! Are you making any runs Friday?

Re: "Live" from Topeka D5 National Open #1
 

Mike you can run a 5-speed in GT?

Re: "Live" from Topeka D5 National Open #1
 

That's the plan Mike. We won't make it right at 4. We should have a better showing since I figured out what was wrong with the car since last Friday. The mechanic needs fired!

It looks like a few stick cars are going to show.
