    I think everyone who brings a car should race, it's all in good fun and the more people that race the cheaper it will be for everyone!!!!!! :D

    I mean it, man if I had a stock maverick and I planned on doing a bunch of mods too it. I would defintely run it, that way I would have a base line and I could see what the changes did.....
    Like John Fasig and his 6 banger from last year, this year he has the v8 and he will have known proof of the difference between the 2...not just the seat of the pants feeling, but on paper.
    Plus for the guy/gal that wants to run their local track but doesn't for fear of screwing up, this is the best place to learn.(small class room enviroment).

    The only warning is to those that have never done it........its addictive!!!!

    Plus, Stephen is right, it will be easier on the pocket book.

    Yes, passengers can ride down the track!
    The track is pretty much ours, to quote a old Steve Miller song.....
    he takes the money and runs!

    We see him only if there is a problem.
