Ok, I’m signed up for Nationals so that begs the question can we get 30+ cars (max toyo money is 30+) for Nationals. I’m thinking it will be like 20 or so.

NASA is pleased to announce that Toyo Tires® will offer a lucrative prize package to the top finishers at the NASA Championships Presented by Toyo Tires® at Mid-Ohio on September 13th-16th, 2007.

Well if you don’t make it I’ll be leading the IN/OH region :lol:.

And I know this group is fast, but that is part of the fun I’d much rather race my ass off for fifth than cruise to a win. Hopefully I’ll see you.

That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing this year. And I’ve loved every lap of it.
