Well I guess we'll let the dust settle and get some sleep for the next couple of days. Then we can get fired up for the Midwest race this weekend in Peoria! Who's all in? Good practice for the Pro Series race which is the following weekend!

Where is everybody going this weekend (8/22-8/23). I heard a lot of buzz about people going to JTec.... Track opens at 4pm racing starts at 7, I heard they are done by 9-10ish on Saturday nights. Finally be nice to sleep in, go race and still make it home by bedtime.

Allan, Believe it or not the track has been maintained every week except for the week of the Byrons on-road race. Since NATS, first two weeks the track was in prime condition and nobody showed to race. Then mother nature has washed out the track 3 times (2+ inches each time) late in the week to where we could'nt even get on the track until noon to 3 pm on saturday. We are now looking to grooming Saturday mornings and keeping the track on the wetter side. This should keep the track from blowing out better and give better tire wear. In closing, if you think that we do no maintenace you are 100% dead wrong. We maintain all 3 tracks every week and the outdoor off road track sometimes twice a week.
