Discussion
Hey Smitty,
Are you running one race next weekend, or are you going to do a double header? Just wondering how many attempts you and I will have to catch DVB :)
- knowing TE aint scared... i would double 'em up short and long track — model40fan
- Cool...I thought you were doubling them up — 72_Chevy_C10
This just in! The Wagon Wars race has been declared over due to the package mailed today from New Jersey being lost in a blizzard! There is little to any chance of them making it to the great northern state of Maine (there by eliminating the possibility of anyone catching me for 2nd place!). Ok, just kidding! This should be very interesting and fun. Bring it baby! ;)
- watch out... 2nd is the new 1st... — model40fan
- I'm looking forward to seeing the results from this weekend...should be good! — 72_Chevy_C10
they're here, they're here... the wagons are here... thanks C10...
- i may race 'em while my turkey bakes ? — model40fan
- no problem, Smitty...I'm glad they got there okay! — 72_Chevy_C10
