John Deere Racer, i just realized who you were I have not had my car out for almost 2 years,been going out with Chris with his ride most of the time. 41 has been a big let down this past year with all the fooling around that they been up to.I have been there a couple of times too just watch and things are really pathetic at best. They usualy post on there web site 1 hour before they make a decision if there open or not. Tired of driving down to find out they decided to be closed.

Byron is a better track IMO. I know its a haul for you, but you'll be happier you did. As much as people bitch about 66, i've got alot of runs in even on a friday night TNT. So if your car is legal for NHRA style tech, that would be a good option also.

1st, most guys have NEVER liked the POS manager, so it's not just anymore!!
2nd, you can only be cheated & ripped off so many times before enough is enough!!
3rd, most guys with 1/2 a brain have finally learned that those lying, thief's don't give a damn about anyone,
and if something does happen, you can be really screwed!!
They are not prepared, they are not trained, they are not equipped, and frankly,
they just don't give a damn about racers safety, and for that matter, the fans either!!
Remember, your life could be in the hands of a fat, despicable, loser!!!

You Indiana guys should head over to Muncie dragway if you get a chance. Its NHRA but very racer friendly,and has killer prep.Its very similar in comparison to Cordova if you have ever been there.Everyone working there is laid back and friendly.Give me a PM if any of you are going to 41 and ill try to make it out to watch.
