248H Stock?

Because the extra coat in diesel would more than offset the entry fee cost. Unless you live in central Fl it would cost you way more to go to PBIR.

The race at South Georgia also has a test and tune on Friday, as well as a couple of bracket races with a reduced entry fee for the class racers. It offers the opportunity to get a grade point, set a record, and a decent car count may help Division 2 get a real fully sponsored National Open race. If our junk wasn't so tired, and we hadn't just found out our rare ring and pinion in the other car is broke, we might have been able to make it.

Love that track. I plan on going in SS/JA. First race driving in 15 years. 20 year old tow truck, 20 year old trailer, 47 year old race car and a 65 year old driver. What could go wrong?

I'm in for S/ST this year. Great chance for those who have double duty cars to bracket race 2 or even 3 times while also getting in an NHRA race. Last year they paid the purse, Wally, and a grade point, records were set, but no contingency.

Air is usually the best of the year at this time and the track is flat and fast.
