I’m in favor of the 5 min qualifiers .... I usually blow the whole race it in the last few laps anyway.

I personally got home at 1:30am Sun. And leaving home at 3am Sat., obviously that is an extremely long day. But when I drive that far I want to race as much as possible. Losing a minute off of the heats wouldn't seem to be to bad of a compromise but I'd hate to lose a complete heat on every class. We did take a vote at the drivers meeting and only 3 or 4 voted for shorter heats, jmho

The next two weeks are going to be very busy, but will be worth every minute leading up to the next Summer Series race.

The track will be changed the Tuesday after this weeks Jconcepts race. We have to put the oval back in, which is fine, it'll give us a nice opportunity for a reboot.

I weaseled my way out of a wedding so I'll see everyone on the 9th!

I'm in the minority and stick around for Sunday as well, but running 5 min quals is a good idea to help get some of the out of towners home earlier.

The June race weekend is going to be awesome! We have a bunch of new dirt, and an all new layout. I'll have my mod buggy and truck ready!

From the sounds of it there should be a pretty good group coming down on Sat from Des Moines. Looking forward to racing down there again!!

Christine and I will be there this time around. She'll be racing her SC10 in whatever beginner SC class that's running and I'll enter Stock Truck as usual. I realize this being our first race of the Season keeps us out of the series, but hey, it will be fun anyway
