A usually boring race(because of track layout), raced with boring cars(COT), driven by damn good ole boys with lots of personality.

I wonder if nascrap will ever go back to what made it as great as it once was?

Great Intro Norm.

The results of the first race only confused the issue.
To Toyota or not is still in limbo. Power.......Hmmmm...maybe.

I still think Toys have problems. Hey, what do I know.

Thanks for the ping, Norm.

I guess that NASCAR running its big CON (Car Of Now) was just too much competition for IROC.
