No, we're done for the year, probably going to concentrate on getting better at Montpelier next season (i.e. learning to hit my "marks" consistantly) before thinking about venturing out to places like DuQuoin or, say, Florida. As much as I enjoyed the travelling we did this year on off nights, I think I need to focus on improving my performance without the variable of trying to figure out a new track.

Variety is the spice of life.

You ain't got time to read a book about race car driving and race all at the same time. Them Mark things are a bunch of bull, What makes for a good race driver is"SEAT TIME>>>SEAT TIME>>>SEAT TIME". Good race drivers drive at 105%+. Trust your Butt not your Mark. Come on down and get some real valuable "Racing Experience".

I realize at your advanced age that a 1/6 th mile "BULL RING" might tax your reaction time a bit, but if you want to improve you will learn a lot more about driving on one of these small tracks than you could possibly learn on a big old boring 3/8 mile track. Why do you think drivers with 1/4 Midget racing experience are so good. If 1/6 th is a "Bull Ring" what would a 1/20 th mile track be. Those kids learn to react fast, and that goes toward making a good racer.

Advanced age? Hey now...
Maybe "hitting my marks" was an oversimplification, and I am definitely not basing my re-education on "book-learnin"; I agree seat time is King, but the Zonker's already put to bed for the winter, and the off-season Honey-do list is in full swing. Happy wife = more seat time next year, if you catch my drift. Now, if a REALLY happy wife means we start thinking seriously about making the tow down to Florida in February, well, that's a whole 'nother story...

For those drivers making the trip down if you are coming down on Thanksgiving night the pits and building will be opened up around 4:00pm central time. You will also be allowed to camp overnight if needed. If you can let me know ahead of time that would be great but if you come down at the last minute that is fine also the buildings will be open.

I was told that most of the indoor pits will have access to electricity and if you are camping and need an electric hook up let me know and I will do my best to hook you up.

I got one of them things 20 something years old, you just need to work on your technique a little more>

never been there. Any body recommend now much stagger? I would assume alot..

Go

Start out with about 7 or 8 inches, that should put you in the ball park. The track is pretty flat and tight.
