Evan: Suggestion to kill time! You can race Sunshine tonight in St. Petersburg in sportsman and deep staging is allowed if you have just a street car with you, then tomorrow night there is Bradenton. It makes for a great racing weekend!

Just a little observation -- racing in Stock since the early Seventies I've never seen the season opener having less than forty cars........we are in deep stuff my friends ..........very deep stuff indeed .

I am sure that $170.00 entry fee didn't turn anyone away ... maybe they should raise it to $200.00 then only 16 cars will show up and 4 rounds, yer done ...

Glad you reminded me about the DQ's -- seems the scales here and everywhere else are different -- many of us were caught by surprise this morning - my opinion is that they could have been off as much as forty pounds -- many racers were dq'd this morning because of this -- smart guys went on the scales before they ran and adjusted .

Thanks for the report. I'm down here in sunny and not-to-hot Tampa working away from my new digs. Give me a shout later. Good luck to everyone racing this weekend, see you at E-town in a month or so.

Evan,

How are you liking our Tampa area weather so far?

3:50 pm EST -- And the rains came again -- we're on hold -- they had just started "clean-ups" for the sportsman classes -- weather is moving fast .OMG -- I think Wolfman Jack is on the PA . Before you go there , yes - I've had my meds today ! ! Funny things happen during a storm ........ they're calling cars back to the lanes as I type -- shorty storm like I said .

This is an amazingly low turnout for a d1 race. I wonder if the $170 price tag is the straw that broke the camel's back. It could also have something to do with the weather forcast.

Also might have something to do with the distance some people have to traval to get there.
Coming home on a sunday night driving through new jersey/new york is NO FUN!
