about X10 thatwe'll be forced to do 1 or 2 more of these just so we can spread out some of that initial cost over the next ones
it is fun though, the race pace/intensity is much more than I imagined. you can put a car in places you never imagined possible when you don't care about it

For anyone that's been to Sebring for the 12 hour race....the "24 hours of LeMons" event at kershaw was very similar to the "Green Park", except it continued out on to the track

He has run a bunch of races and that $500 dollar things seems to be ... well
I do remember as a KID watching " modifieds" race through the DEADLY X at Riverside speedway [ that's Riverside Park Springfield Ma].
Went to the Demo Derby's as well.
Seems all that is old is new again. Can't wait for the intersection thing to come back!!
