Default Pictures of the ShortCourse Nationals track

Greetings all!!!!!

In honor of the fact that I'm a FEW days early for the racing, I thought I'd post up a few pictures of the track! The track looks quite short course friendly and should provide some great racing! In addition, you'll have an audience since the fair will be running!!!!!!!

Enjoy the pictures - and while you're on Midwest you might take a minute to register and see the sights!!!!!!!!!

I wish that this wasn't 5 hours one way for me. That is just to long for me to drive. Don't really got the money to spend the night either. Being in the south central Nebraska does suck for this. If I would have moved up to Lincoln by now then ya I would come.

Good Luck to all that get to go.


P.S. I want pictures of the race if you guys could plz

Wow...I had a blast today and shedded an easy 5lbs of water. Thank you mother nature. Great event and great people! Thanks to everyone that made it to the race. Yeah there were a few hiccups, but other then that, things went really well. Racing was intense, and very close in every class.

Hope everyone had as much fun as we did! The layout in my opinion was perfect for the SC Trucks!

Congrats to everyone and enjoy the great giveaways!

Look for more awesome things coming out of Dodge for next year!!!

See you at the races!

Default HOT NATS

Tony thanks for having us at your track. Made it home in just under three hours this am.

Met some good racers and had a killer time.

I really like the track material. You guys put a ton of work into that track and it shows.

NitroAl Thanks for letting us use your Air comp sir.
