Except for B-3....It is usally 1/4 mile.
However, one year they combined B2 with B3 and ran 1/8th.

My big trailer hasn't sold yet and the clutch is slipping in Chuck's truck. So Blake has offered to loan me his 24' enclosed trailer for the weekend. Tracy and I plan on picking it up this weekend.

Blake, you are a TRUE friend and we will feed you well next weekend. Just don't get the gout again

I still plan on getting there Wednesday evening, Blake will meet me there...

We usually go out for dinner one evening. When is best for you guys?

I plan on getting there bright & early Saturday morning & hopefully staying the night, but I won't be bringing anything to race
(other than my Rzr pit bike/skateboard)

On the bright side,..................................at least I'll be able to put away a few (too many) cold ones.

You gonna stay with us Saturday night? You and Blake can 'spoon' in the top bed

That's what I just told Tracy. Three day spectator plust that stupid car pass for the pits would cost $120

Three day Bracket III or Show car participant is $70 so I guess Tracy is racing her Mustang or showing it in the car show

Well,.........I was considering it, but with the mention of the spoonin' shit, I may have to re-think it.

Damon;
Actually a B3 pass for 3 days is $ 5.00 less than a spectator pass ($ 65.00 vs. $ 70.00)

I couldn't believe it when I saw this last year on the NMRA site. Sure enough, when we got to the gate it was $ 65.00 to race for 3 days....5 bucks cheaper than to spectate !

There's no rule that says you HAVE to race tho.

Plus......free vehicle pit pass !

Keith,

That's between you and Blake, I don't want to know

Alan,

That's what we will do then... Bracket III for Tracy.

As much as I want to just spectate and relax, the payouts for B3 look tempting...$ 1,500 to win on Sat.--- $ 300 to win Sunday.

I just wish they would run B3 as 1/8th mile only, but most years they run that class as 1/4.

I was told B3 was 1/8 as well, I will call pro media back and get that straight. I am planning to run that class as well.

do they run bracket 1 full track or 1/8 mile ?

What year Mustang does Tracy have,i would like to drive a 2011 Mustang with the V-6 to see what it runs like 305 Horsepower V-6.I would have bought a new 2011 Mustang with the V-6 if it wasn't for snow.I got a new F-150 Monday i should have taken a new Mustang for a ride but didn't.

Later Mark.

Brackets I and II are 1/8th.

Last year they ran B3 the full 1/4.

Tracy's Mustang is a 2002 GT that she purchased new. I think it has like 47,000 miles? I'd have to check...

She won't race it but maybe I will

Hell........... I'll drive it!!

Lonewolf1970 wrote:Hell........... I'll drive it!!

Good luck with that

I just confirmed with pro media, bracket 1 & 2 are 1/8 mile and bracket 3 is the full 1/4 mile. So it looks like I am running bracket 2 instead of bracket 3.

5 speed or Automatic?

I bought a new 2010 F-150 Supercab 4X4 XLT 4.6 3V 3.73 LS axle on Monday.I got tired of the Ranger after having the 2007 F-150 i turned in last year the Ranger was like a Escort and the F-150 is like a Lincoln.It was a good time to buy around $10,000 dollars in rebates,only $67.00 more a month than the Ranger.

Later Mark.

5 speeds are more fun

Blake,

Thanks again for loaning me your trailer. I'm going to try and load all the gear and the car this evening, depending on the weather...

We gonna hook you up this weekend. You'll gain 10 pounds
