Jay we both have the same twisted humor, I was going to post the same thing.
I sure hope to be out next season behind the wheel of my own car for a change, but time will tell. Either way though, SHE AIN'T FOR SALE!!!!

Yep BlueBerry.
Dan, it will take me a while to adjust to the car. I hope to slow the car down to 10.50 (sorrry Chris) to make the transistion a bit easier. I will have to learn the car's finish line tendicies. Drop spot locations how much is scrubbed on a umpa and brake tap. Plus I'm way better having the slower car and backing in then having the faster car. I will be easy picking for the first half of the season. Bottom line is that long term the BlueBerry is a better weapon running box and no box down here. and the ability to run the 7.0 index races.

I agree with ya Jay
I'm looking forward to the 2013 season
We didn't see much of the cars that are being sold in 2012 and perhaps will see more of them next year (depending on who bought/buys them, where they'll be raced, what events they'll be used in, etc.).
I've read about a local track closing. But, ever since they told me I was wasting their time by showing up for T&T without a driveshaft safety loop on my C5 I've not got back there. And, maybe those who used that track will come south a bit and race at other events.
So, while I'll miss seeing the drivers who have retired from the sport, I'm not reading anything that indicates a lower car count next year. In fact, it may be one of the best seasons to run. We're looking forward to 2013; Checking the RP / Atco sites on and off, hoping to see a series where we fit and feel at home

I’m just selling my car, I will still be involved with the sport and with my move back to jersey I’ll be around. I know a guy in Union that’s looking for a crew chief so that job interests me and who knows the challenge could use some help. Just time to put the Vette in the hands of someone who can take it to the next level.

Get a car you can drive and race John, at least that way you get the use out of it and can still race too!

$&*(#@ !!!
Dayum... I guess now that I'm 70 I won't be competitive & my car is at Cartek right now getting a few more "go fast" goodies installed...
I may have to stick to American vs Import... at least I will go 1 or 2 rounds if I'm racing an "Import"
I'm afraid I may be over the hill to compete with the caliber of CC racers..
If I start getting my Azz kicked on a regaler bases, I may give the little "Blond" a phone call
