No, Friday hahaha!

Yes Craig, the VORRA Hawthorne 300 will be held on labor day weekend. I believe tech & registration will be at the El Cap on Saturday, but the schedule isn't up yet so I'm not sure. I agree about the Vegas to Reno, we chased one year and that was fun, but you have to be at the right place at the right time to see anything, and that can be hard to find.

I'm sure we will be out and about for that race. As a rule the VORRA races are much more geared towards people watching & interacting with the racers, crews & staff. I think VORRA does a good job. We enjoyed the VORRA race a few years ago @ Salt Wells. We ran into people we knew from just growing up in Nevada. It was a fun time. Most of all they allowed us in the pits & around the race cars & crews. That is what makes it fun. With the big races if you aren't a member of a team or with a team your really restricted to where & what you can go & do.
That is why I mentioned Becker. He was one of the top Pro Truck drivers on the circuit. Being with his team Vici & I had unrestricted travel. In accordance with the rules that is.
Thanks for the heads up most likely will see you guys.
Craig

Happy Monday! I had a great extended weekend after the 2 dentist appointments were over with. Went to the lake and actually got enough jet-skiing in that I'm a little sore today.

Morning Michelle. My weekend was interesting. Found out some jackass stole the spare from under our Expedition! Just cut the cable on the lift system, and off they went. Luckily, we didn't find out by having a flat.

That sucks! Why do people have to do stuff like that? Is there a big market for spare tires or did they just have a flat?

William - the accessory list for those things is endless, I have a feeling you'll be spending a lot of time on that hahaha!

Good Morning Nevada. Pat, sorry to hear about your spare being stolen. But as the economy continues to get worse the crime will increase greatly I'm afraid. Keep your powder dry.

I'm thinking someone didn't want to spend money on tires.

Look for an explorer with four mismatched rims and tires and you've got him!
