With the Southern Showdown only 3 weeks away I figured we should get a roll call started. This should be a great race, with racer's gathering from all over the country. So who's coming?

I'm taking some vacation time-off from the hospital for that weekend (my "work week" is Friday night to Monday morning), so I'll be able to attend this race for a change... No way I'd miss this one!
Joey still refuses to turn marshal and wants to know if there's going to be pizza...
See y'all there!

Don't think I am going to make it this time. I'll know for sure end of the week. Too much going on at work to take off Fridays.

He is usually open until 10 -11ish on Friday night. Exact amount of practice time on Saturday will be dictated by turnout and other factors, but we try to keep the show moving along so dont count on anything more than an hour.

Tony, I'm sorry to hear this, I hope Ernie sets you free for the weekend!
