Might be a coinsidence and it might not be, but the downturn in attendance at on road races happened about the same day as "oderless" (what a joke that is) tractions started to take over.

See everyone on Monday

I just picked up my used CRC GEN X10 LE, maybe you can take a look at it, it's my first pan car, I know it's a carpet car, but I'd like to set it up for outdoor tracks too.

I live in Orlando so I'll be stopping by to see some of the action.

The biggest difference from last year is that you can not straight line the chicane any more.

Many Thanks to all the Sponsors and races that are here at the 2011 Snonbird Nationals.
