Casey; you gonna drag Doc with you? Tell him we got a little short track racing for him!!! Yes, you will need to gear that Mugen down. Not familiar their pinion #s but if you set up for a 8:1 1st and a 5.5:1 2nd.... you should be pretty close. I am quite certain that every driver at FW is using a harder rear then front. I plan on using 42/40 for the Sizz. The sealer has lower wear and planted the cars more. Freeing them up without making them twitchy seems to be on everyone's mind. Like Mark said, the grip will get even higher then we normally see on a single day after 3 days of racing.
Getting pretty excited about 12th scale again. Like the Blues Brothers.... I feel like I am putting the band back together. I will have Paul Leask driving a MS3 that weekend for the first time. Mike Crosier will also be dressed to kill in a MS3. Plus yours truly will be flogging one around t:he premisses. I will be bolting in the slowest looking 13.5 I can find and then dress it up with a fast looking paint scheme. Slapmaster covered the podium last year, looking for a repeat in '08.

How about Tony D.? It'd be better if Bridgewater and Scott Brown could race. 
Note to YBD, make sure those Sizzler T-shirts, for the Hooter Trophy Girls, are an extra small. Has the Hooters pre-race Saturday night get together been firmed up?
Sorry couldn't resist the pun.
YBD, get err done.

Will there be another place to drive from so as not to climb the stairs? Will there be a 17.5 sedan class?

I think that was Gary Bennett from up north. I could understand his concerns.

could i get a piece of wood so the step up isn't so high.
seriously everyone, getting on the bus may be a pain in the joints for some, but thier is no real hurry. we can provide assistance if needed and you can start working your way up, right after the heat before yours is started. even sitting down and going up backwards should work.
hope you make the race gary
