Oh, are they 'silver' or 'pewter'?

Mike - It would be much more fun to jump into B/SA where there are already five entries - or A/SA as there are four - totals have jumped to a whopping 32 in Stock and 33 in SuperStock .Call it anything you want but from a racers standpoint its a few rounds short ....................BTW - Those single car class eliminators gained a bunch of popularity in Englishtown .Real racing for sure - and they had fun - just ask 'em .


PS- Pewter does sound better .

I hope no one else enters B/FS in Bristol, I kinda want to race in the combo. Can't go to enough races for 'class' points and I really think racing on the index/handicap all out would be kinda cool. Course I have been running well, Bristol may ne another story because of altitude.

Here's the final tally - 51 Stockers and 59 S/S ers - looks like the fast cars will be out in big numbers in Stock as there are 5 AA/SA's - 7 A/SA 's - 6 B/SA's - 4 C/SA's and 3 D/SA's ...........................half the field in 5 classes ! ! !

And rear wheel drive cars only!

Ouch! I wish I had one! To hard to drive.

[Dan Fletcher]

Yep, that would be great. And a sure way to increase the already dwindling car counts...

Didn't take many rule tweaks to get rid of most of the FWD cars anyway...

Some people are getting out and racing when and where they can. This past weekend, Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville, NC hosted the first Carolina Bracket Series 2-day event. There were a few Stockers who came out to play... $100 weekend entry for two $3K/win races. The bracket guys knew we were there. Marshburn sat on the bye 2nd or 3rd round on Saturday, DW was running 7.68's like they were going out of style (and you know he was having fun... I saw a few old-school dry hops! LOL). I double-entered the Turismo. Saturday, went 3rd round on one entry and 1/4-finals on the other, Sunday, 4th rnd and quarters again. DW and I got to wander over to the circle track side and take in a little action Saturday night, too.
