I'm sad to say that Nancy and I have cancelled our plans to be at the October meet.  Our hired hand in the engraving store will be gone for a few weeks -- so we've got to stick around to keep the doors open.

If you see this, Neil Diggens -- I'll try to find your NC address and ship the mugs to you at that addy.  And as for Tonya -- we'll find some other way to get the stuff from you to us, and in plenty of time, too.

  I will be coming down on saturday with my wife and daughter to ask questions and be better prepared to come down and race next year. Would it be possible for me to attend the drivers meeting or go to the rookie orientation? Who do I look for and a time? We look forward to come back down to the warm and friendly atmosphere that we were greeted with when we attended last october. We will be easy to spot with our mopar gear on. Wishing everybody safe travel and safe racing!

Barry/D400

The drivers meeting is held on Saturday morning (8:30 am) on pit road across from the registration trailer.

You are welcome to listen in.  As for the rookie orientation talk, I would think you could follow along as well.

See you there,

Enjoy

Even as an experienced Maxton guy, if you haven't been down the track this year please do yourself a favor and do the Rookie Orientation.  They put a LOT of new asphalt on the surface over the past winter and there's quite a bit of difference.  Better to be familiar with the changes.

Jon & Nancy -
We're gonna miss you two!  Hope all is well with the help.  Give Nancy a hug for me - you're on your own! 

See you in the Spring.

Jon and Nancy,

I am sorry you are not going to make Maxton, I do understand that "things come up"...

Hope you two have a wonderful winter.

See you in April

It's raining here early this morning at the Wal Mart campground in Laurinburg where I have spent the night, but by looking at the NWS Radar it looks like rain on and off throughout the day (Thursday) and then nice weather with cooler temperatures for this weekend. I'll head on over to the track later this morning.


Hopefully we have cured the high speed miss in the Wabbit, we will find out for sure come Saturday. See ya all there.
