[Superman_Racing]

I dont think all of those guys will be there that was just a list of everyone who has raced at Tri-County this season. I know Dale Thurmond and Johnny Cloer will not be there and Im not sure about Brent Dixon he hasnt been back since the start of the season. Some of those other guys on the weekly list may not come as well not sure.

I know they had two or three doing them from the Southern Nationals, the updates were great this summer for those of us who had to work.

Track has been really good for the last 3 shows. Put a top notch field of supers on it and I think we could see a real show thursday night. The Tar Heel race has had some prestigious winners in the past and has usually been a cracker of a show. Hope a big crowd comes out. You know Davenport and Oneal along with the other good cars will put on a show. Limited has been a dandy all year and should be a show. Hope its a great show!

[raised_on_dirt]

Hope to see Ethan Hunter there, heard he got his late model motor back.

[VICTORY-N-JESUS]
