Randy will be there for sure. There`s several notables not there yet. I myself ordered a new cam a little too late to be ready.

Hawk's guess is not looking promising...even more amazed they didn't bump up the Super Comp quota to pull in some $$$. Worse part is we need a live reporter...Ken may have to pay a signing bonus for somebody to step up to the plate! Wonder how long since nobody east of the Mississippi did the Western swing???

Greg, wondering how long since nobody did it...I recall very well Larry and Patsy's trip...I met Patsy for the first time at Seattle even though I was brought up 20 miles from their place. Not a single Division 1,2,3,4 racer entered as yet for any of the Swing. I'm sure Toby will 'carry the mail' for Sonoma and Seattle but don't see anybody else on the entry list for Denver who's previously reported live...

Personally, I think the car counts have more to do with the economy in general (and pessimistic view specifically) than it is about "enhancements". Also, I realize you can pretty much wait for Monday morning to enter a National anymore don't think people are going to leave their home in the East before they even enter the race...

I'll be rooting for Randy, and I'm glad he'll be entered, and I hope there'll be the "several notables" as you say, but as of now (1:49pm), it appears that Stock went down from 29 to 28, and Super Stock increased by one from 16-17. More importantly, the total field size percentage only increased .4% to 60.8% of their quota. Thus the clock is ticking, and the 24hr glass is nearly drained an hour, so these next 23 will definitely be interesting???

I wish you could attend the race, because with that new paint job you got, your car would be one of the coolest ones out there!

I wish you well with that new cam...I hope I'll be able to change mine in the forseeable future too? Take care Hawk!

What do you mean the clock is ticking? If time runs out do you think their going to offer buy backs and call in the monster trucks? You're just being funny now.

I'm being funny? Your quote has me LMAO!!! Well guess what? The time has run out (1pm pst...deadline for entry for this race), and I noticed (other than the entry list expanding only 2.5%), that one of the Pro Stockers bowed out, so all who attend will live to run on race day! Now I'll be interested to find out if all of the attendees (Sportsman racers that is), will be able to avoid being stuck in the north 40? One can only hope...however those who will be there, I hope it will be their choice and not a mandate?

Well let's see...a five round race with several bye runs in Super Stock, and a six rounder with three of them in Stock....drc's going to look very interesting this week!

Thanks for the great laugh Harry...that was a good one!

Denver by the numbers comparison Stock 2010, 41 entries, 2011 36. Super Stock 2010 25, 2011 23. The pros were about the same. Pro Stock lost 6 2010 22, 2011 16. Pro Stock Bike gain 5 2010 17, 2011 22. Total entries 2010 313. 2011 286. In 2010 there was no Comp but there was Super Street, 57 entries. In 2011 no Super Street but there were 18 entries in Comp Both Super Comp and Super Gas had more entries in 2011 than 2010. In 2010 63.1% of quota, 2011 63.3% of quota.

Hi Boys,

I never post except to correct a lie, and Art generally corrects the mistakes for me. The 2004 PT Cruiser was rated at 180 hp before 9/8/2010. It was at 18.00lbs per horsepower which is a natural CF/S which of course could run DF/S or BF/S at the time. No one got robbed and it was 100% legal for what it did. PERIOD!

Be happy, I got 6 hp and .45 index hit!

Wait til you see the next car!
