Charlie,
Rusti's just a little redheaded feline that adopted me a few years ago. She walks across my keyboard from time to time.
Looks like a petite female Garfield.

Are you talking about Shelbyville?

Has ANYTHING been done to the fence there? Last time the UMRA was there all that seperated the pits from the track was a chainlink fence. Twice cars went thru it, once hurting people and the other was pure luck no one was hurt when Jason Goff went thru it, only the fact he went thru at the point where there was port a pots (which he hit and destroyed) kept anyone from being hurt, 20 feet either way and he was into people. The UMRA decided to not go back due to the unsafe conditions. Unless that deal has been greatly changed then I can't see how it's now safe to race there.

Alot of changes have happened there. Highway barriers now line the outside of the track, much the same as Madison, are among the most noticeable. The track prep is being handled by Shelbyville, NOT the same person that didn't water Greensburg on Saturday.

See you there?

Now that is too cool! Welcome back "Jake the Snake"!!! One of the nicest guys to wear a lead foot!

I'll be watchin' for him,

This will be the first time back in a TQ since 2003 I believe.

Looking forward to running the 55 again. I owe Larry and Dale for a race I threw away a few years back.

Also going to be bringing Elijah (sneaky snake) to his very first race.

FYI; 4 those of u crossing 44 from Franklin 2 Shelbyville it is also closed.. but when u get 2 Shelbyville u may want to take Mechanic St. or Washington St. cause Pennsylvania st. is very narrow & may be hard 2 get trailers through... Good Luck All & LETS GO RACING..
