I just got a pm from another racer. COT will use North/South rules? GTB/yellow ring tires/ SMC red pack/17.5SS ? If needed I can add a field filler to the mix

Great day of racing yesterday, some of the closest competition that track has seen yet, to of only been .19 away from the A main and starting 2nd in the B is a good indication of just how close it was. Would be nice to see this become an annual event that everyone could look forward to, great track and great people running it!! Congrats to all the winners, and thanks Pace for bringing someone to tech cars all day long, he did a great job, (still did not like that dam meter, lol.)

Great racing yesterday. First time ever in st j. andhad a great time. Like chris said I hope this becomes a regular event. Some really close racing in all classes. Congrats on Jamie for winning the pro 4.
Couple suggestions:
1) Need a exhaust fan in the bathroom. Not sure what some people eat but wow!
2) Lay some plywood outside in the mud so it doesn't track dirt in mud inside the track area. I know its mud season but people were comming in and tracking mud and dirt everywhere.
3) Limit tire traction to certian things. It will help the track gain traction. When mixing alot of different kinds it makes the track slippery instead of grippery.
Like I said these are only suggestions.
I had a geat time.
To Ricky, Jamie and Clayton Pizza Hut will never be the same.
See ya,
Kenny R.

I think the mysterious bathroom odor is the water??? But hey nice facility, great group of guys. Track has a good layout, i had a VERY fast car in the a main, unfortunately doesn't always pan out. Congrats to all racers and winners. Kenny, pizza hut was fun...... i'm wondering if she had any fruit snacks at her place.... I'm sure only we will get that joke.

Sorry about the meter. That was my super tech 2000 $4 voltmeter from harbor freight. They said they needed one....sooo.... Ya sorry! Donald told me how his car had freak readings too.

On a positive note, great folks, great place and great racing! :wave::thumbsup:
Maybe they can do a fundraiser race to buy a sweet new voltmeter.

I forgot to get the name of Pace's friend....but it was great that he did tech.:wave::thumbsup:

Kenny nailed it!
