I'm so glad that Terre Haute is on! I missed it last year because my car just wasn't ready yet. But this year is going to be tough also. As Jerry Reed said, "We've got a long way to go and a short...

He ran mainly Warsaw (IN) and Kokomo. Later cars were white with either a number 88 or number 21. I adopted the yellow #11 because this was the first car I remember.

Today is my Dad's 86th birthday, so I thought I would post this picture. This is the original yellow #11 that I took my color scheme from. This was taken in about 1965. The vehicle is the...

I hate to be the voice of reason here, but the WoO rule book states that they "recommend" a 33 gallon tank. They mention that their race length (green and yellow flag laps) will be based on that...

While we are not on the published entry list, we are trying hard to make this race. It will be my first time driving a Silver Crown car.

Mike,
Hopefully I'm not too late, but I'm pretty sure Shady Hill is in the Central Time Zone. I live east of there about 30-40 miles and the time changes about 8 miles west of me.
