Sometimes it's not about the expense, but the once in a lifetime opportunity.
I wish both racers luck, two very talented drivers.

well said George. if you are in this for money, you should be doing something else. the purse is just there to make it hurt a little less.

I guess it's all about means. In 2006 I was second in Stock points in IHRA. I was 30 points behind and my choice was to go to Rockingham and/or the track in South Carolina. I didn't have the means ($$) to make the trip so I sat it out. Wond out I would have needed 50 points (after two other racers moved up in points). It was still possible, but I decided to let it go and settled for fourth. I think it would be great if Justin was given the chance to go for it.

2 GOOD Racers from 2 GREAT families, that support them at each & every event!
Both are friends and tough competitors

To Justin & Ali, their families, John, Carol, & Liz Picillo, and Al, Sue & Steve Smyth
Best of Luck!

I think Alli should put Justin's chevelle in her trailer and give it a ride to Vegas.Then let the best racer win.
