516 entries for the CW race in and thats in less than 2 days. In 20 minutes we had 170 people for the indoor pits alone. This is the largets race in the contry this year hands down. I don't think even Snowbirds this year will be as big.
We could go 600 plus if we had the room and wanted to race 24 hours around the clock which it will be close. I think I will just sleep at the shop that weekend.

Offroad it is still wait and see by the response has been excellent this year. Like always the SPEC SCT class will be huge this year. Mod truck will have a huge resurgence and I could see this being the 2nd biggest class each week be hing the SCT classes. Not bad from a class that was kinda dead last year.
Ok update the shop. The new upstairs pits are almost all painted. 3 more pit benches to get painted black and a few more need final wiring but it is coming along nicely. Floor painting for upstairs might happen late this week but if not next week for sure.
Jackie has been a painting machine!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chris has been a building machine and slowly but surely I have been moving and organizing all the parts in the shop. We have about 9 days left til opening day with about 15 days of work left.
We look forward to your comments on the basically all new Bumps and Jumps. Hope all you racers like the fresh paint, new pits, and even more parts in the shop than every before.

That room is bad right now so it would stun guys to have it neatly organized. If I get out of work early I might get it done before everyone shows up tonight to race but it is big if. Not sure what time I can cut of work.

Bumps is alot less hassle free and attendance dwarfs the other tracks. Are oval race is so huge you can take the attendace of the local onroad tracks within a 2 hour radius of Harrisburg and they can't draw a 1/4 of what we do on just are weekly shows let along the CW race at 550 In 20 minutes)!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vegas race didn't come close to this in attendance.
The show of attendance shows where the racers want to be and thats not onroad in this area. Its dirt.......not carpet. Carpet is for my dog to sleep on or for the pit benches. Dirt is where its at. Pretty much every dirt oval or dirt offroad tracks are enjoying growth while the onroad tracks show little to no improvment in attendance.

I think it might be a little hit or miss than compared to last year. Plenty of guys have them though and will run them but not if it will be every week.
Karl great run at the Nats. Heard alot of great things about your performance in mod. Skys the limit for you so keep working hard as it is paying off. People are watching.

I should be up on the 25th this month and come pretty regularly after that. Just need to find a class in addition to slash, I think I would go crazy with the lack of things to work on.
Thanks, the mod car was great all weekend. I think it was the first time ive looked at someone like Mike Blackstock as competition and not an idol.
