The ones that wonder are the ones that dont travel. The ones like myself that do travel are broke from traveling!
I thought the food for the HAR team was covered by your new TV reality show "Cooking with Cowboy"...??
Lincoln is a bit out of the way compared to the Missouri tracks which are more on the way to Osky from Indiana. I figured some teams would wait till Saturday, Sunday, or even Monday to go out there. I sure hope they do. There will be a lot more cars at Grain Valley but they are mostly if not all low budget. Would be cool to see one of them do well. They've had a driver get killed there this year and another seriously injured so cheer on those brave souls who are willing to shed the wing in wingland!
