It is a shame to see this but the modified class has been dwindling over the years in the U.S. But the field still looks pretty strong and it will be a good battle to see who gets the chance to run in Invitational next year.
Assuming that nothing changes witht the track, the plan is to continue with the Reedy Race at Speedworld. There was little time to preapre for this year's event and everything was done at the last minute. While the blame is being placed on Scotty or Billy, the real blame should be placed on me and the guys here in the Reedy department at AE.
We placed all our eggs in one basket hoping that some far-fetched options would work out. But there was no back-up plan. Thankfully, Billy was willing to host the race, and Scotty willing to run it. If they had not stepped in, there would not be a race.
We will post the list of confirmed invitational drivers today or tomorrow. And I think drivers can still enter the Open classes, so get your entries in and join the fun!

Somehow yesterday I called the Orchids Suites and reserved a room. After everyone saying there are no more rooms left it kind of makes me wonder if im going to show up and not have a room.

This is Billy from SpeedWorld; I just made some arrangements with a hotel and w/breakfast. The hotel will hold the rooms until May 10 ONLY. I can ONLY reserved 10 rooms at a time since it is this late, but Amber willing to help be out. If we make reservations before the May 10 dead line on all 10 rooms, Amber said she will add 5 rooms at a time if available. I think she said she only has 20 rooms left and that is with double beds.
to make reservations it will be under GROUP BLOCK REEDY RACE

This is not Billy's race; this is Ernst Production / REEDY Race. Billy just seems to me working extra hard for this race to happen for you electric racers. Speedworld is just letting them use the facility for this race. It shows the passion that he has for the hobby and no one does it better.

Thanks Rick Dogg!
This weekend at Bending Corners will be pretty big. From what I heard Numan, Caster, Cavalieri, and I will all be there. Rick can you make it?

Rick Dawg,
That's mighty big and honorable of you to man up and take responsibility like that... but I think instead of pointing fingers or trying to assign blame we should do our best to enjoy what we have for this year and simply take what's been learned through this experience and apply it towards better preparing for next year!
Btw Rick, you gonna run at BCR anytime soon...?
