I got the call too.

I am using another 10.50 Vette, I just built over the weekend.

We should all pit together.

Who else is coming from Pro 10.5?
Tommy Michalkowski can you make it?

Best of luck to you guys at this race. You will find it very enjoyable to be a part of the show.

As for parking, they usually park us at the end of the track where we were on that weekend when the front was reserved for the NOPI race. There should be plenty of room for you all to pit together.

Enjoy

Good luck to your son El.

So I take it that the next in line (alternate) from the Pro 11.50 group is Rob then?
And I'll also assume that Eric is going?

I got the call too! Can't wait! For the first time ever, my family (uncle, wife & 2 kids) will be coming to see me race. I think I may just be more excited about that than the actual race. Too bad my Mom can't be there to see me have such a great opportunity :-(

Best of luck Shay! You got your family there to cheer you on and your mother will always be there for you! Just continue to do what you been doing and everything will fall in place.

She sees you racing all of the time Shay.
She's watching with my mom from a very special spectator section but I think things might get a little heated between them if you keep beating me at the tree LOL.

Spoke to the track, they are having a hard time filling the spots for the Challenge and for the 11.50. If they are not able to fill the spots - the class will not run. If you received a phone call from the track - please respond back even if you are not able to make it. I think it will get to the point to where who ever calls back first will get the spot even if someone higher in points returns the call.
