It looks like a decent crowd.....
ST1 - 7 entries
ST2- 4 entries (could be better but a few of us are still trying to work the bugs out.....
)
TTS- 8 entries
TTA- 5 entries
Ken better hope it rains if he wants to keep that TTS record....Anyone else coming?

Im still working on my car..... 
Things are going very very slow. I am registered for Mid-Ohio in Aug. and I doubt Ill make anything before then.
Did you figure out what was killing your alternator Matt?

TTS record is pretty fast.......but I have known TTS cars to run low 12's and that was before new found speed
Go get 'em Matt....maybe ken will come out of retirement then
Where'd all of those ST1 cars come from ???? It's all good , I cant wait, I'll be joining them soon.

You all know I'm just there to have fun, wins and track records are just a side benefit, my focus is always self improvement...what others do is of little concern to me.Retirement is looking extended, hopefully not all of 2011 but it's starting to look that way.
I was supposed to be working on the car instead I got side tracked building
Not as sexy as a race car but maybe it will keep the kids busy while dad goes racing next year

The play area here looks very similar! I've been surprised the sandbox gets more use than the play set. The top of the sandbox having flat boards like that has been a nice feature. When I was little mine just had straight sides.
Thumbs up!

Geff is on the "wait" list for ST2 but I have a feeling there will be 5 ST2 cars by Saturday. Good looking field though.
Matt are you going to be there on Friday?

Unfortunately yes... There has been a blue Evo terrorizing TTA. Last year he broke a couple records in his TTB trim, and this year he went full TTA. He broke Matt's Mid-Ohio record by almost 1 sec in April, and it was his first time at MO. 
Ive been following the class because thats what I am building my car for.

Quit spoiling your kids and come out to play! I thought a little jabbing would do the trick....
Kubs,
It was a bad Aux. Fan relay.
Joel,
I'll be there Friday afternoon / eve....We'll be staying in Painfield so plan on cold beerz at Bubba's.
I didn't say it was going to be me to set the TTS record (I saw Geff on the entry list and that little Lotus that seems to be flying this year).
And yes, my TTA record is ripe for the picking also. We just need a little sunshine.

We're staying in Geff's motorhome so we'll have to have a couple of beerz after the track goes cold, we'll introduce you to the ever famous Moo Cow!!!

Geff drove the RV to Bubba's last time and stayed in the parking lot since Putnam won't let you camp.
The perfect setup. No DD needed......

Safety Car
Should be a blast. I'm out of commission until the June Michigan races, I busted up my foot racing an AI guy in go-Karts. Man, they're in the way no matter what I drive.
Good luck gents, let's see some records fall.
Ken, it would have been funnier if you had placed the exit to the slide right into the tree...

Hi Matt,
I won't be making it either still finishing my new motor after last years # 7 piston crack. I'm all forged and stroked now.
Brownlows car is taking shape however and aero is going on now. It will be very competative ...Plus he has the new motor home, should be a comfortable stay at the track if we ever get there.
Singers car is at DRM for a race car makeover so he should be on track in a few weeks.
Good luck at Putnam.
More beer .....
