East Bay Feb. 2-7.
Nothing for GIS or Volusia.
That April 3rd and 4th looks interesting.

Volusia is owned by DIRT (or whatever their name is now), which also owns both the UMP and the World of Outlaws. Since Lucas is their main competition, I don't think you'll ever see a Lucas show at Volusia.

Golden Isles on the other hand, WAS UMP sanctioned for the Superbowl series last year at the beginning of the 10-day stretch. When all the controversy with Bloomquist and his cheated-up tires happened, Frankie Lloyd kicked out the UMP as the sanctioning body (instead of Bloomquist as a competitor), and ran the rest of the week as an "independant" show. I think this years edition (with a lot less than 10 straight days), will again be run as an "independant" show.

I agree with you Ron... that Screven/Swainsboro weekend could be a good one.

P.S. - Ron... are you going to Lowe's for the World Finals at the end of the month? I might go up and work at the track with a friend of mine, just not quite decided yet. I will NOT be bringing Ian this time!!!!!

Jerry, will you be on the broom crew? Just kidding. Yes sir, I got my tickets a few weeks ago and I'll be at the Finals. I missed the Colossal this year because my wife was in the hospital that week. I'm taking a group from church to Gatlingburg, Oct. 27th-30th, so I'll miss quailifing night, but I'll leave Friday morning headed that way. I lost my phone and all my numbers so I'm having to start over with numbers, let me have yours again.

My friend, Palmbayer, has a Slot Car Speedway that he hauls all over the country to Nascar and Indy events has asked me to come join him there that weekend. His wife usually helps with set-up, organization, etc... but she has no interest in going. So, if I go, it will be a working-vacation... but he promises that the Slot Cars will shut down for the features.

A free, all-access pass is a nice incentive to go. Not to mention, I don't think I'll have a single problem finding some people in the campground to have a few beers with after each nights show!

If I do go, I'll make sure we meet up and maybe have lunch at the Quaker Steak & Lube up the street.

Looks like they've added another night to the Finals with the Showdown being rained out last night. They are running it on Oct. 29th.
