Lou's remarks from the other thread"

Quote:
Well, I guess we are racing at Hagerstown on May 18-19.

Here's an idea: Try to do a Wilkesboro Slant race on the same weekend as the Don Carlton memorial race - Aug. 31, 2024?

I would be happy to host a race here at Motormile too, if that sounds appealing.

Just battin' around ideas...

Lou

I like the idea on having at least 3 or 4 races planned as long as we can get a reasonable turnout at them.

Mason Dixon is a go for sure. May

I would try to come to Wilkesboro and if one was planned at Motormile I would try and make it as well.

I also am not against traveling west into Ohio to race if we could get John and Dennis and some others to come out.

What about the Mid West guys? Are they going to plan a race out there?

I'm working on "stuff" so I can race this year. I will make what I can. but most of you know the situation with my wife. I am defiantly planning on Mason-Dixon, if I get everything done.

I should be settled back in KY by about mid March, so I might be able to get either the Challenger or Duster ready for Hagerstown. The other races mentioned look good as well.

Any interest in Clay City?

I am fine with Clay City or anywhere that we can get people out? That may be good for some of the Mid West folks. It would be a bit closer. Hopefully they will chime in.

I have been sending some text to racers and telling them to check in here and give us their opinions.

I am getting into my engine now.
I hope to catch a couple here in our area, MOKAN? or Tulsa at the end of the season.

A long trip for me is not in the cards this year as we have a long great plains, northern states trip planned in sept.

I will be at Hagerstown in May.

Clay City would be a good idea. We kinda got burned the last couple of times there with how they ran the track, so some folks may not want to go back. I am willing to try again.

I would vote for either Motormile OR Wilkesboro, but not both. I am happy to do leg work for hosting whichever one of those we decide to do.

I cannot see doing more than 3 races myself. Hopefully we'll get some folks chiming in who want to race so we can get an idea of numbers.

My 2 cents...

Lou

I put up a post at FABO in the slant six section, referring anyone interested in racing their slant to come here. I put up a link to this thread.

I was really hoping to go to Mason Dixon this year, but I have a work obligation that conflicts with it. I would be interested in any other race that would be on the east coast ot midwest.
