Don't know. My buddy said he got back and it's always the 1st weekend. Kind of on the fence if its in coordination with the rally. Would be less expensive if the rally wasn't going on.

Tell them to go next year. You'll still get stuck in the same classes as me and Schmitty simply because of the aluminum heads. But look on the bright side, it's side by side mud drag racing!

What? Come on, not much different than coming up to VA or me going down there. Just a couple hours longer for the tow.

I wouldn't drag my stuff that far for a race either.

O and Karl, almost all the mud drags that I know of in these parts are side by sides.

I'm working on getting a place to do side by side. Most won't do it simply becasue the lack of space not to mention the added cost for insurance. Gonna try though.
