May get some Lucas boys on way to wheat land on tues and Wednesday?

I could see a couple guys maybe making a week out of it depending on who gets the invite to the woo show

[Pennsboro32]

A guy could race I-55, go to Wheatland and race two days then go to Boone Iowa. I’d say you’ll see a few do that.

[WisWildManFan]

That was my thinking as well. I think they have open practice on Monday at wheat land as well.

[TS FAN]

IT is time for people to be able to attend races. No one is twisting any arms, making people go.

TS sadly Kentucky has one of them power grab Governors!!! Gonna be hard to get Florence open with him calling the shots.

[WisWildManFan]

Looks like they may have to cap each division at 50 cars, that’s a good problem to have. Final details on Sunday per STL racing
