Who wands to start an over/under on Bradenton. I will throw a number at you 125 cars.

I'll take the under. Ed, maybe thats why they like 1/8 mile racing. Thats as long as they can last. Lol

It's obvious that as sportsman racer's, not everyone can race at EVERY event. So depending on what "turns you on", (because a little sex is better than NO sex - right Ed?) you pick which weekends you're going to be racing. A lot of us won't be racing every week next year, but I'll bet all of us will race every chance we can. I remember when "Buster's Rebel's" Division 2 included races in Virginia and Florida! I'm just very thankful I still have a place to race!!

See you all at Immokalee in February! (919 miles one-way)

Jim, I run both when I can get away. Your right. I'm the only duck there. Around here it's the same guys as at the NHRA races. For some reason I don't understand, just not as many of them. Brit, Slate, and Larry Cummings, The Southland Perf guys, etc, are just as tough there as anywhere else.

Ed , good luck in 2012, maybe we will cross paths again, its always good to see you

Jim,
I need more than a100',can't put enough gear in back to use all four gears in 100'. When I was a kid I had a go kart geared that low though, yeah that's right my go kart had a stick in it!
I hope to at least double my race shedule from last year(one weekend), within 2 weeks of starting the season.Remodel project has drywall hung won't be long now.
Hope to head south in the spring and get early start.

I accept this award on behalf of all fellow sarcastic racers out there. It appears my comment was a thread killer Chip.
