Absolutely yes. Would this take the place of any rain date at NFS? Do we have a format and purse structure yet for the Gator nats?

40 laps.... Holy ****. lol

I'm pumped about a 40 lap main. Looks like I've got 80 days to get bulked up at the gym with no power steering. But we may need to think about a fuel stop. All four tires have to stay on the ground. Most lightning sprint guys are running fuel forward tanks or jaz fuel cells. 8 gallon cells may not make it with caution laps.

+1 on some endurance training lol. I was wondering about fuel as well....

I have had a track contact me about racing on Sunday Feb. 15th just under 2 hrs. Northeast in Ga. My question is would anyone want to race it being Monday is a holiday for kids and some working people? This would push the total purse of the 4 days over $20,000.00 payout. We SSMS would be the support group to the Northeast Big Block Modifieds. Please help let me know ASAP.

^The track he is talking about is NICE! My favorite track in the southeast. Track surface is amazing, and the hospitality from them is second to none.
