I agree with you, Dale, but Mark is correct, 2 times.

GGG flyer is on the link.

Yup, I did. That's one event I always look forward to. I've known Bill Truby for quite some time and I always attend the PID Reunion banquet in February. Great group of old school racers and the exhibition cars put on a good show. I'm hoping the 422 Allstars keep PRP on their schedule, I'd like to get another shot at that .400 tree.

It is a shame that Quaker and Pittsburgh have their Halloween races the same weekend. I know other racers like me would like to race at both tracks. I know someone is going to say we had ours on the schedule first, but I really don't care about that. I think both tracks are shooting themselves in the foot on this one.

I'm up for another Halloween race at PRP so we can have two. How about sometime in July. Ohhhhhh yaaaaaa.

If you build it they will come. Halloween is a very popular time of year and I think it would be a GREAT success. GREAT job on the mic again as always Chuck and I had every intention of bringing you a drink but the dog-gone car had other ideas.

Agree, how many more cars would fit in that place?

Be careful Frank, not many people ever agree with me!
Also don't forget I need some saturday time to hunt so don't be starting any more races in october.

Trub is good people. Great variety of cars on and off the track. The blue '41 Willys that GIS Automotive brings just drives me wild. C'mon, Mega Millions!

Thanks John, just trying not to trip over my tongue too much. I was glad to see you going rounds on Saturday, thought it might be your day.

Roger Richards at Competition Plus is out at Maple Grove for this weekend's NHRA national event, caught this nice shot of George Yago:

George Yago

I know Kevin Panzino, Eddie Matsko, Wes Leopold, and Jim Boburka are in the albums from yesterday too. I'm sure Mia will be in today's albums once they are on the site. Good stuff, good luck to the locals.

I wish those jerkoffs would let T/S run everywhere

Same here, Tony. Door cars FTW.

Mia qualified at #4 after 2 sessions, with a bracket car... 5.320 first session, 5.322 second session. She won first round in SG also.

Sheehan, Boburka, Yago, at least, all won 1st round.

Thanks for the update, Chuck. door cars, FTW. lol

how about showing the list for the dragster race!!and an update on entrys!!a few racers are concerned it wont happen,as it has prior times!!

Last I heard it was about half filled. I'd say if someone wants in, get on the list now, that would help make it happen for sure.
