Flash said he was working on race set-up, only a little on qualifying. That's what I was ranting about the other day.:)

A bit early to release your lineups, eh? :-) My watch has 1:25 before they're frozen.

And the haulers will be coming down I-35 right past here, about 15 mins away. WCG and I were tossing around the idea of getting some barricades and detour signs from work and rerouting them over to the house.

Don't forget to put a customs booth about 10 miles out so they think they're in Mexico :-)

Don't think they'll need a booth to come to that conclusion. Anything south of Dallas...LOL

I hear you. I've got a real quandry today. Got my choice of JJ and Flash on "A" (does track position matter more than good practicing?), a heap of lame "B" drivers (Backflipper, Rudd, Rusty and Unhappy), and the hot qualifiers in "C" (Shrub and 2nd-row Joe).
