I think that both the Rumble and the Shootout are excelent venues. I was able to take my son to the Shootout in 2010 thanks to Dadd's Muffler and A.J. Felker Racing.
We also helped them out and others at the 2011 Rumble this year. Dadd's car 37 won on Saturday and I enjoyed watching the 3 day event from start to finish.
I plan on attending the Rumble or the Shootout next year, I think the car count will go up next year at the Rumble as it did at the Shootout this year.
Have a safe 2012 everyone!
The Big Bald Guy! Ron
