Thnaks guys this has given some great ideas for a plan.

My thoughts were to go to Norwalk National event in June and since I can drive there rather than fly it's easier on my budget.

Ed/Mike -I like the Pennsylvania Dutch Classis idea. Because of the afformentioned budget savings above this would allow me to get in a fall race fix as well. I've been wanting to go back to Maple Grove since I haven't been there since my bracket racing days almost 30 years ago.

Gary -Can Am S/SS is a great little series. Although I wasn't down to see one last year I usually scoot out there once a year. One thing it does is really demonstrates how good Stock Super Stock racing is as it is blended into a regular bracket program and you can really notice the difference in perfessionalism, performance and technical skills. Bracket racers, please don't take this as shot as I am an ex bracket racer and respect that racing as well.

Adger and Jim - You're right about the close side by side wheel to wheel racing. I enjoy watching rounds at the starting line to get the burnout and wheels in the air action but I also like to spend time at the end to see how the stripe is driven, who's dumping, who's running right out etc etc. One track I found great for that was Las Vegas.I t had a nice little area close to the Sportsman's pits wher you can take all that in. Englishtown is pretty good for that too

MFR -The Jegs All stars as Route 66 is a good one. I was there a couple of years back.

I better stop typing because with No Problem Sports Nationals, the Indy divisional still to go I can plan for a while.

You guys keep up your advocacy with NHRA becuase as fans we don't want to lose an important part of the show

Thanks again
