We will add $200 to the pot of the 1st grudge race of the year. Just get with us before the race takes place. Must let us know before Sunday.

It's debatable!

I have the itch to watch some racing.

Ill probably show just wont run yet as the car probably wont be tuned or caged yet. but soon though I just got most of the fuel system stuff in still waiting for a few Y blocks and the filter, they were on back order but have already been shipped. So hopefully they will show and I can get at it.

schardbody · 02-19-2012, 10:37 PM

Nothing is broken. Just not ready. Damn paint shop is busy.

LDELEE · 02-19-2012, 10:55 PM

@ schardbody, if the weather is favorable and the turnout warrants us staying open longer we will. It's basically due to the weather(temperature)still being so unpredictable.

schardbody · 02-20-2012, 02:30 AM

good deal, i prefer to come out later in the evenings, as do most people i know and go with.

i'll spread the word.

Blame it on the paint shop yeah, yeah, yeah. You know you don't want none of the blue car!

Quick question. Are yal going to be enforcing the safety stuff this year? I know towards the end of the year, it was mentioned to get some of the faster cars caged up, jackets, etc..and a helmet rule for everyone..Just wondering.

LDELEE · 02-21-2012, 10:46 PM

Yes, we will definitely heighten our safety measures going forward. I'm glad to see some guys have already installed roll cages or in the process of having them installed in thier cars. Honestly, it is one of the best investments a racer can make. When it comes to helmets, jackets and gloves, we will enforce the rules that IHRA mandate. Safety will be our main priority!!

slowgreen99 · 02-22-2012, 12:16 PM

good to hear

bababuschka · 02-22-2012, 12:19 PM

When do we need a cage to be able to run? 7.0 or faster?

slowgreen99 · 02-22-2012, 12:21 PM

7.49 is a 6 point I believe, but I was referring to the 5 second cars with no bars at all, wearing flip flops, a t shirt, and a bicycle helmet.
