Re: earlier summer possible dates.
If the primary concern about the endangered birds is sound pollution, how 'bout taking some decibel readings during racing?
I've spent plenty of time around jet engines, and even an uncorked nitro big-block isn't that bad by comparison.
Anyway, Bob, Bobby, Joe, Donna, Joe, Mark, and all the rest: you can count the track steward in for '10.
I've already hatched a plan for an overdrive tranny for the '56 so I can get better than the 8.5mpg I did.
Who knows? Erica (the 'cavegirl'!) might even come back for round two in '10!
