Wow! Another great winter Rumble here in the Fort! Thanks to all who helped put on a great show in the Expo! Weather outside in the 60's, too! Makes an open wheel nut ache for spring and summer!

Lets me guess, is Stratton Briggs' middle name Tecumseh?:O:

All kidding aside, I actually think it's kind of a cool name. I just can't believe that the kid's mom went along with the idea.

They mentioned last night that Timex got the nickname from a rodeoish bull riding announcer, after he was thrown off a bull for the 3rd time in the same night. "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"

Thats cool and all. Nothing wrong with it. All I was saying is why not announce it as Jim *TIMEX* Morgan?

Chuck, who went friday. Thought the show was ran flawless except for interupting the midget heats. Got to meet a lot of people I've been wanting to meet. The WBR team, Don "IM a lot nicer in person than I seem on the net" Moore. Kyle Hendershot, Devin, Don, Midgy Chaplain Jackie and others.

I also have one question, Why all the screaming on tire cost? The Mini Sprints were out there on AR DIRT TIRES running side by side.

The Memorial Coliseum Expo Center plans a $5 million dollar renovation on the Expo Center in the near future. A new sound system will be apart of that.

The staff here is flawless..with facility operations director Bryan Christie dating back to the days when USAC ran here in the 80's inside the Coliseum. They know what indoor racing is about. Other cities need to be educated.

This is a major league facility.

Happy New Year to everyone.

We've ran TQ's there before, with Dirt Tires, does a couple things, one, it gets a lot of cars there, that probably wouldn't come otherwise, kinda keeps the marbles to a minimum, and actually helps put down rubber, that really gives a good bite. I feel they give as good, or better bite, than slicks, I tried an HD65 compound, and it was too hard, had to go to an SD38. Bob

great show, can't wait for next year.Pulled out of the parking lot at like 10:10 which was awsome for those of us who had long drives. THANK YOU. Tip of the hat to Lou Ciconi, He went from never racing inside again to feature winner. Right now lou has to be the favorite for next years championship.

For you dads out there with children racing, please do not act like the parents from the last go cart feature. the two were about to start swinging when people broke it up.This is what is killing kids sports. Teach your kids some sportsmanship.
