Is their 10 teams? well there suppose to have 40 teams heading to Florida. So I think that most teams are ready.

This race has always had half a dozen or more heavy hitters, KTJ. Bacon when he has a non usac ride, Ballou, Bell, Tmez, Short. Last time I was at the Amati Race at Paragon, Two of the top five, including the winner were locals. Yet there were eight to ten usac racers there.

Unbelievable! Some of you on here whining and had your panties in a knot because it was on the same date. Now they're on different dates and your panties are still in a knot and you're still whining!😢😢

I can kind of see spanky's logic here. I don't think anyone is truly upset with two races on two different dates, it was just how the scenarios were presented.

Two on two differents are still better than two on one in my opinion.

This problem is easily solved. Give all 60 participants a $1000 for showing up and the winner gets a $25 gift card to Taco Bell for their drive home. We will rename the race the Xtra Cheesy Gordita 40.
To the victor goes the spoils.
