Am I right Mike?

Hi Steve. Right now it looks that way.. but I have received a ton of mail from oval racers sending them in. Plus a lot of Florida racers have to still register. I hope its 50-50 soon.

We are at 200 oval without yesterdays or todays mail. I hope to have an update tonight online, more than likely tomorrow night. Still a lot of Florida racers and others that have emailed to say they were coming in. Quite a few single entries and almost no triples... so a lot of good oval heads which is good!

Alot of what i'm hearing around where i race is the price of entry. Last year was a little cheaper, but paying for entry and then for hotel room and then for travel, they say adds up.

I agree it can cost money, but thats the price to pay to have fun..........
and race too. :)

I'm on my way again and to have fun and race.

later

I think there about 10 Florida racers I know still not signed up going in stock... it would be awesome to have over 80 maybe 90 in the stock class!!

There are still quite a few top oval guys missing from the list. Phil Marabella, Arnie Fie, Frank Polimeda and I'm sure several more. Maybe Custom Works is laying low for the moment.......

I think they dropped the legends class because it was too "tech intensive" ie there was more cheating in Legends then any other class.

True True, no need for advanced magnet zapped spec motors in the other classes, LOL

I heard a story of a guy that wrapped gold foil around bearings, to give them the appearance of bushings in his legends car. He got in a wreck and busted one of his tires, leaving the bearings and foil laying on the track for all to see. What goes around, comes around I guess. LOL

What the purpose of 2 19 turn oval and on-road classes?

Good question...

BTW ... there are some VERY talented drivers in the Sportsman class ... I'd suggest that whoever made the show last year in Sportsman 19T to step up and move to the Pro class.

Steve , that is a great point. Sportsman is a stepping stone class for up and coming drivers.

It should be a rule if you make the A in sports ... ya don't race it the next year.

Sorry I can't make it this year, but I have started touring car oval class up in WV and it has really taken off, getting some negative feedback from the road course guys, but that's not really effecting it. Since making my comeback from a near death experience I have gone on a 10 race winning streak in a period of 3 weekends, Would love to get some pointers from the touring oval guys from the Snowbirds. Kudos to Mike Bolan, been a while but hope to see ya sometime soon..

Once you go oval , you dont go back,
Turn Left , Go fast!!!
