Default Any Idea?????

Anyone have any idea when E Town will open even for T&T .. I seem to remember in the past they did open the last week in Feb. (Weather Permitting)

If anyone has any idea it would be nice to get a "Heads Up" as I hope to get some work done on my car, and want to have it completed soon enough to make a T&T day.

I really don't want to drive all the way down to Atco...(a 3+ hr drive one way for me)... & I still have last years Drag Radials on the rims because they (tires) are at the wear bars, and should be good for at least 2 races.. (I don't plan on going 6 + rounds ) but would like to get some more use out of them before I mount my new set (already have them in the garage)

Any "hints, tips, roomers, or just plain BS" I'm starting to get cabin feavor...

New for this year is Friday Open Comp. Looks like it will be modeled after the NMCA series.

Atco typically re-opens around the same time as E-town. Unofficially they do re-open much sooner (as early as mid-late January) than E-town but it's usually Sundays only to start with and of course only if weather permitting.

John.. you made a good guess... I just got off the phone with Michelle and she "DID" confirm RP will open the last week in Feb. Weather Permitting temp has to be over 40 deg.
