As for support I've rounded up five or six cars that have already committed with a few more on the fence depending on finances. I haven't raced for years but I'm coming and if Cupp's daughter will give birth early he and Bagley are coming with me. We tried to put on some races a few years back with a retired tech official but couldn't pull in enough cars. When we relaxed the tech what we got was basically bracket cars with class designations on the windows. The class cars quit coming and we dropped it. We need discipline or there will be no need for motors from Bryan or Bub just something out of a crate. Along with Terry I'll put up $100 to win and $50 to runner up.

Danny,
Thank you so much for the kind words. They are really appreciated. I really do understand your point about the tech and believe me, if Lee and I had our way we would do it like that. Unfortunately, in the short time that we are trying to pull this thing together, we just want to see how much support there is for a race like this. If we ever do anymore than I could definately foresee a much more stringent tech but we think at this time, people have had enough jerking around and just want to go out, race with some friends, and enjoy themselves with the possiblity of winning some money, getting treated with respect, and are appreciated for being great people and racers, not just a money tree. Thanks again for the kind words and I look forward to seeing you again, it has been quite a few years since we had our battles in K/SA. And thank your for the sponsorship as well.
Brian
