2006 Preview

Welcome back, my fellow Pro Stock brothers. This will be the first of my many rants this year and I would like to take a moment to talk about the schedule. With only 4 nationals this year (this will be my next topic), the calendar is looking pretty empty and we have to start looking to other sources for races. I mention this because there are a few races that I would like to help promote.

The first is a double payout race at the quickest track around, Thunder Valley Motorplex in Neeses, SC. Danny Sheppard has informed me that for Pro Stock there will be a DOT Class, an outlaw class that features cuts but no nitrous, and a consistency class. There will also be a paddle class for the Pro Mod guys. Check out Thunder Valley Motorplex.com for all your contact and race info.

The other race I want to talk about is the first Pro Stock/Pro Mod Shootout to be held at the Transfer Fairgrounds in Transfer, PA. It will take place on July 22 and will showcase 2 classes of Pro Stock and Pro Mod action as well as a bog for the street trucks. Once again, there will be a DOT and outlaw class for Pro Stock and a paddle class for Pro Mod. Check out the link on Mud Missile.com for all contact and payout info.

I urge all of my fellow racers to support these upcoming events as they are being put on by racers for racers and are not something to fill in an unpopular time slot at the increasingly not so Special Events.
