Toby, would love to do that. But since the Imperial Palace gets a whopping 5 mpg, I need to win to break even. Atlanta is 1200 miles round trip. Lots of expense with fuel, entry, a paltry $160. 5 gal of VP finest @ $11.50, and the usual standards of living, fine dining, beverages, and the ever hidden fees. Doesn't make sense to me, but I chose this game, must be a mental thing.
For my situation, I need to keep close to home. Used to travel in a van and a short trailer, did all the stories that you've heard about. Do not want to do that anymore. Just want to race Stock and have a good time.

Well I am going back to the bonfire that we got going in the back yard. Just love it, bonfire and it's 80 degrees with a nice breeze.
