I mean what do they have to lose. I would drive over there to see that. It sounds like it would be fun and it sounds like the American Stocks and wanted over there. All I would have to say is have fun and give them hell!!!

Your right, I'll stay out of it.

Just wouldn't want you guys to go on a fun 2 hour road trip, only to turn around and drive back home. A phone call, or some changes to your cars would make for a good plan of action.

"Racer to racer" advice is all it was. Not a desire to keep you away.

Because they had a rough time the first time they came over (They didn't call).

Because an earlier post stated "lock your rear end" and go race.

And Yes, I do think some guys would drive all that way without calling. I've seen it happen this year.

yes they did call and they were given the wrong information over the phone but it worked out for them any way i think you dont give give these guys enough credit due to the fact that kevin already stated if anyone wants to go to sms give him a call and they can all drive over together if i know kevin and i do hes already called over to the track to make sure everythings okay for them to race there

americans stock at bako can not have a locked rear end but in sms the factory stock have a locked rear end. so in order to be competive they lock the rear end at sms.

well your wife may do better with an unlocked rearend but i think that could be cuz of not having a lot of seat time. i enjoy locking my rearend up and racing at sms,chowchilla(with the hobbies) or anywhere else i can go. but i bet if your wife cuold control the car with it locked up then she would rather have it cuz the car is way faster with it locked up. but anyways yes everyone i have called dave swindel. he is willing to wave all car and driver fees for the bako cars to come over and run with them. i am going to be calling him back tonight or tomorrow morning to find out for sure about the difference in rules so yeah i will be getting back to everyone. i hope it all works out for us to all have fun.
