I would like to, I've been pretty sick with a cold for most of the week. I have to see how I feel in the morning. If I feel up to it ,I'll be there even if its 1/8 mile. Remember us Clowns have to stick together....

I don't know if there is a stead fast rule on when they would switch. Remeber track wind could be very different for what is in the weather forecast we watch on tv.

I check stats on 1320 go for tonight and looks like they started 1/4 but ended 1/8th. I know tonight is looks to be the worst.

All i can say if there is any concern, call raceway park. If I here anything i will tweet but I do plan on arriving late tomorrow.

We've got some CRAZY high winds up this way (roughly 35 miles north of the track) right now.

It's a shame that an NMCA Champion is going to be crying the blues this Saturday in ten-fitty.

1/8th mile or 1/4 mile, I'm ready.

Its win light or red light and don't worry about me running the number due to wheel spin.
I plan on holding a half second in my pocket.
No more losses with .001 lights for me.

You clowns better take the stripe, cause I ain't giving it to you!

Yup that has winna all over it

The extra time is in case the cars decides to hesitate or spin or what ever.
I want to make sure that I can run the number no matter what happens.

Now pay attention, the light is where the stripe comes in.
When my light is better, I can take the stripe no matter what, even in a double break out.

Just say your prayers that you don't get lined up with me.

Chump...I mean Champ.

Going Red or Going Rounds.
Put up or Shut up.

Or Mr. Hesitation, or ????????:r ofl:
