Typically we do Gingerman then Gateway, but looks like they're the same weekend this year. We're going to do our part. Get out there folks. I'd rather compete in the Sprints in an F500 than something w/doors. To say nothing of the Runoffs. Engines, shocks, wheel size and class philosophy are secondary and a bit longer term. Not to be ignored but sometimes tactical overrides strategic thinking. This is a no-brainer. Compete.
