Mark - we are keeping an ongoing list of the people from Evolution Raceway (St Louis) who are coming up for the race. It looks like there will be at least 6 to 8 of us.

Thanks again for coming down and racing with us last weekend and I'm looking forward to this Byrons race.

How are all doing?
It was good racing with you last weekend. Very enjoyable weekend!

First day of practice is scheduled for this Sat. Weather does not look good though. Racing should start the following Sat. Unless there has been a change, start time is 4pm, with practice all morning.

Practiced at LHR yesterday, the track is super smooth with low tire wear.

Larry- I was there today to practice and run the offroad track with my buggy. Unfortunately, the rain pounded us hard and we had to move inside.
I will say this, the track looked AWESOME!! Bernie and Slim were running one of the spec cars before the rain and was getting around great. I plan to practice on Wed. and the OnRoad racing is on Sat. Doors open at 10, and racing starts at 3:30pm. Hope to see you guys there. It will be well worth the ride!!

Congratulations to all those that made the on road track a reality.

It looks superb and it's not too far away from us here in Davenport, Iowa so I think you may be seeing us a few times.

I look foreward to the Byrons race and seeing you all there.

I'm going to try and get to the track this Saturday 9th June to have a go on the track. Racing starts at 3.30pm that right?

See you and congrats again. Excelent work!

Tire wear is EXTREMELY LOW! Walt reports a loss of only 1mm with almost an hour track time! That was with 35s on a 1/8. Sedans are reporting similar results.
