We would have brought 2 cars, but honestly, work has been super busy. I'm very lucky to have companies doing well in this economy. The original goal this year was to get a motorhome/stacker and do a lot of racing. I've now had to cut my schedule in half, if not more, simply due to work demands. I'll run the bare minimum along with the big money footbrake races, that's it.
