    I dont see it being like last year when a Track guy found the five tracks and had them locked up early. Tracks in the past have never commited early on is what David has told me. You would think they would jump at the chance to make money durring the week

        Haha yes. I have friends that don't really get it. Race then drive. What the big challenge in that? haha

        We knew the tracks by Jan 22 this year and it was March in 2011. Just wondered if any little birdies were chirpin' yet.

              Maybe Todd will line em up again, I would certainly not be against that. Kind a like Tulsa area. (track is 15 miles away)

              But it would be nice to see other places.

              I will be patient.....i will be patient......i will be patient.....

                Its has been the week after Labor day. So I would be willing to say it is the week of September 9th in 2013.

                    I'd like to see a Cordova or maybe Columbus start and end track as possibilities. Further East to start and I'm out, but a north loop would be good, or West or whatever. Normally I'd suspect a Tulsa start finish again, but two Friday rain outs my have them spooked. I don't think they want a repeat of that. I wish I had the luxury of start 15 minutes from home instead of 1500 miles.

                            I have to admit, it felt a little like I was cheating since I only live 10 miles from the track.

                            I'm down to travel this year though so I can be an official survivor haha.

                              Bill, I would not be betting Tulsa 3 years in a row..........

                              But its fine with me, not a bad drive to start and stop.

                              Cordova is great I will never forget the line was going away a bit, I ask if they could spray the lane a bit, they stopped got the spray out and did both lanes.
