I plan on racing my 70 Nova there. Years past, the spring event has been huge hopefully the weather will cooperate again. I'm sure you'll be deep into the 13's . The pre-registration won't matter, you won't have to pick a class until you fill out the tech card.

I will be there as usual. Spring is pretty crowded compared to the fall one.

Car looks good!

I haven't missed this event in quite a while, but glad I did after hearing that mother nature crashed the party during the 1st round.

I was in my car, helmet on, jacket on, 5 point harness clicked, and ready to start the car for first round of eliminations when drip...drip...drip...

Wasted a whole day sweatin my butt off only to have it rained out. Car ran perfect even in the 90 degrees plus temps, and cut a .002 light thinkin I may have had the bye run.
