We may run SS/A IF we get the cam we've been waiting on (ahem, TD) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> I don't think we'll be competitive but we're coming to race, so I think we'll enter SS/A and the brackets.

We're headed down on Thursday afternoon. We'll definitely be going to the track Friday night for brackets and TnT.

We're going to stay in Baton Rouge, near Thunder, rather than near the track. We have about 5 or 6 friends who plan to come down with us.

That's probably why most of the quick guys are staying home. Who wants to add 300# to their car just so you can be competitive with your iron block slug? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I think alot of the really fast guys have already signed up. Dont' want to add 300 lbs..run with the pro outlaw and pro stock classes. I think those classes were set up just for you lightweight guys. If your worried you can't compete with them then you know how the rest of us feel about trying to race the striped down shell that use to resemble a street car that I have seen. The fast guys will still be fast with a little weight. I think they set up the rules to try to represent in the norm...not the select few that are really light.

I also don't think joe is racing in this. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

Ok you'll talked me into it I'm racing. I think I'll try a little bracket racing on Friday night and Saturday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Looking forward to putting some faces with the names, I'm planning on putting my board name on the rear glass of my car. On Friday I will race for beer with a dialin on the window. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Frank95z
