Dan I was wondering what running order you planned on using at the night race and also Washtenaw so I can figure out what classes I want to run

Glad Mother Nature got the rain out of her system yesterday.

Looking forward to running around the track! Fred Baumgartner and I will be there to run nitro TC.

I takled to Fred a little while ago and he was planning on racing mod and nitro TC. However, if there are more folks racing 19-turn, I am sure he could be convinced to race that. :-D

Thanks to Craig and John for the help with announcing and letting me get some track time in too!!
Also to all who helped set up the track.
A special thanks to Richard Chang, Fred B., Molly Gates, Joe Gates, Ben Belote for stay late and helping us take the track down.
We had a fast yet technical layout and a LOT of fun racing!

Dan, Carlos, and Jason - thanks for a great race! The weather was awesome - even with the dew later at night.

Fred and I were trying our hardest to get a 17 second lap, but no luck. :)

That was a fun layout, even with a nitro car.
