Sam was in my office today going over the final details of the opening race. Yes, terrehautian, everything is a go for the opening race for the new SCORA series at Charleston Speedway on May 9th.

He said you and Bill were riding over with him. SCORA will be giving away several items at the drivers meeting including a new Hoosier DT-3 Right Rear Tire. I hope you get some good pictures to post on the SCORAracing website.
