Good luck to the PUTNAM PROPULSION and TQCELLS crew, I am sure they will have a very respectable showing..

Steve, do you know where I can get some batteries for this race :cool: .

I think I have to make it there this year, even though locked timing 19 turn doesn't turn me on, I've heard nothing but good things about this race, besides, I think I know a guy that can hook me up with those motors :thumbsup:.

See you in April.

114 registrations!

only a week left and this board is quiet,were is everyone.


Dan Dubuque

Dont' worry Midget I assume they all prepare their rides carefully, on the darkest corner of their house so no one would spy them.

I will skip this one this year. Seems like not much racing for almost 2 full years makes U lose the edge. Instead I prepare my dirt oval car and slowly put all new stuff on my 'garage'.

Last time I went to grcsr.com it said 10 or less places available. It's the last straight before the finish line! BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY!!!

What an incredible weekend!

Can't wait to do it again next year! This is the race I dream about all year. This year I had put down in my agenda to make the A main in KASCAR. mission accomplished. Next year in my agenda, top 3 finish overall. Thanks to Steve and Eric Salvas for sharing tire setups, this is a crucial part! Also, thanks to guys like Pace, Vincelette and Flag who gave me pointers over the years on chassis setup and also thanks to Eric Bastille for giving me a kick in the butt in the motor dept. Finally thanks to the Rock crew for making this event so great.

Now I'm burnt, but pretty soon I'll be getting ready for my last trophy race of the season, the Can Am Challenge in Granby, Saturday April 23rd. Hope to see a bunch of you guys there!
