[manicmechanic]

i have'nt been on here in a long time because i wanted to just show up and race 10.5. i finally got my car sorted out at the end of last year (GOT A LATE START BECAUSE  MY FIANCE AND I HAD A BABY BOY IN SEPT) and was looking foward to maple grove this year. untill i told her the 1st race is on mothers day and she just shot me down! she might work that day ( catering) which means i'll be watching the baby. i'm still going to try to get out there, if not i'll have to do numidia instead. i love N.A racing and want to compete very badly. rich i hope you don't think i'm full of shit, its just been bad timing. comoing from long island is a long haul, especially coming back on a sunday from p.a. but thats just a part of racing and really doesnt bother me. just look for a yellow duster soon. thanks MARK.

Any updated infor Rich on the 8.50 class.  Entry Fee or Pay out?

[Richard Maitre]

Sorry Mike, I am working on all of this right now, trying to decide whether or not we will turn the other side of this show into a 4 race mini series. With those 3 classes being contested at the other 2 cecil shows and us 13. As soon as I can get everything organized it will get posted. I am in search of more sponsors for that side of the show to make your payouts worthwhile.

Rich

[BlownChevyII]

Ok Rich, any details yet??  Went testing this past Saturday and I am ready to lay the smack down on anyone looking to line up next to me!!!

[Richard Maitre]

Mike, Looks like everything is a go. You running Outlaw Drag Radial or 8.50 index? We have a class sponsor for the O/DR but not the 8.50 index yet....hint, hint  , I am still working on it. The rules are going to be the same as Cecil County's Street car stuff. Money is still being worked out right now and will be posted soon. Let me know what else ya need to know.

Rich

[BlownChevyII]

[BlownbirdX]

[HS400]

Is the outlaw stuff running with us tommorow?  I would think the schedule would be alittle more spaced out.  Dont get me wrong, i like it.

[Tracy Smith]

Yes the 8.50 Index, Outlaw 10.5 and Outlaw Drag Radial classes are running with us tommorrow.
The schedule isnt verbatim, just the gameplan for the days events.  Looking forward to it!

[mj79stang]

anybody know if any of the big guns in outlaw 10.5 and radial are going to be there? my car is slow and isn't ready yet, but i may travel 3 hours to watch if it looks to be a badass day of cars.

[Ron Rhodes]

Any car that races heads up is a BIG GUN!

[mj79stang]

Any car that races heads up is a BIG GUN!

okay, that is true for the most part. i'm lookin' for a better than normal reason to go because i'm already not allowed. but if it were to be a huge turnout of cars both RAM(other than AMI, there will always be a bunch of those) and outlaw, i may suffer the consequences.
