I'm in for Saturday 11.50 and possibly brackets. Shame the 11.50 and PD are back to back.

I am going Saturday and likely staying for Sunday as I recall they run late.
Need tires and hopefully getting them there.
Too slow for 10.0 and no test time for 11.50 so Marc is safe, all Marc'/s haha

Pro Dial for me

I'm gonna run Gamblers tomorrow at Atco. If the Tank runs a .30 in this cooler air I may run the PD instead. It sure will feel good beating a guy with a Wally

If it were just a 'one day' type of deal I might consider comin' down for the 11.50 but I can't get involved with multi-day events and hotels and all...well not until the LSx Shootout that is.

Hey Marc. they race both days. You dont have to come for both, each day is a race of it's own. Take your pick.

Only the big dogs qualify on Saturday and race on sunday. Us little guys race both days...

Oh I didn't realize that's how it was, I saw '11.50' for both days and just assumed they were one with qualifying on Saturday and eliminations on Sunday.

(And now for more excuses why I can't go LOL) But I don't have my new roof yet (don't want to race with the taped "racing stripes" LOL), I already put my full size fronts back on to enjoy the car a little more for the next few months and they require two front seats in (that actually isn't much of an issue as I'm well under 11.50 without it anyway).

Wow, those are certainly 'dog ate my homework' type excuses.

Come run the PD...pro tree and dial your number...best of both worlds.

The tank and I have good memories. I printed out all the besmirching posts you guys made and taped them to my dash. Saturday is the Day of Reckoning!

How far South is it from E Town? It takes me 1.5 hr to get to E Town.. How much further (time or miles) would I have to go on Sat.

I just see they have a Pro Tree with your own Dial... I love that class.. as I run the Pro Dial Dash at E Town.. I was planning on racing the PD Fri at E Town (Sept 2) but if the ride is not too bad maybe I'll try to make that race instead of E Town ....

Get notified of new replies
