Dave,

Yes it was a small turnout for the series. But it was a good day for almost everyone. We ran all the races in one day and then went home and raced at Speedline on Sunday. The vote for series director and the rule/schedule/misc. were done also. Izzy won the directors position. The schedule is now 7 with 2 drops. The tire/motor rules are done. There will be NO mid year changes and surprise's for 2005.

davepull,

There are many reasons for the lowe turnout, and the expectaion was not for a high one. Most of the point battles had been finished, the worlds is next week, the state of RPM... blah blah blah, and historically the last race i nthe sereis has a lower turnout...

Thanks goes out to RPM, and we all had a good time, even those of us that could not find a hotel on Friday night, and slept in our cars in the RPM parkinglot.

Some Pics are already posted, we will try to be expediant with the year end points and the results from the race.

Katfish, there were 6 of us that did not find a hotel, Butter, Roly, TJ, Steve, Adam and myself. We finally got to sleep sometime around 5-6 am, doors opened @ 7am.

We raced all day, did the voting thing, got something to eat, and drove to Clearwater so we could race with Joe on Sunday. Finally go into the hotel after midnight, man last weekend was tougher then the snowbirds..
