    2015 NLRA Champ Dustin Strand out of Grand Forks, ND has made it known that he and his Team are coming. I am quite sure that Clay Daly, Jason Papich, and Tony Toste will be there as well.
    Strand may be one to watch, he has some serious talent. I think he is driving a Longhorn car now (used to be a Victory Circle I believe) so I'm sure that will help too. I was very impressed with him the first time I saw him race at River Cities. He came from deep in the field to the top 5 in just a few laps. Went on to watch him win a few races out there and have kept tabs ever since.

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

        You are correct. He is driving a Longhorn. I listened to his interview on Dirt Nation this morning, where he talked about almost winning a WoO show in his area this past season before getting an untimely flat. I am thinking I have seen him out here in a Mod before. Will be looking for him at this years WWS for sure.

        Also listened to Jesse Stovall's interview this morning, and he is unsure if he's going to Az or Florida. He said his Team will run at one or the other.

Only a month away to my favorite shows of the year! Both Moyers according to Juniors interview.
          Thought RC was going to drive for Jeff Manka #5 out of Phoenix? He has been running this car at WWS for years now. Humphreys wanted RC to run his car last year but had already committed to Manka. Wonder if Manka is not running that #5 car anymore.

            Tim ran a lot of USMTS stuff this past season, so he may run both classes.
            That is Culp's father in law.

              It's my understanding that Manka sold the equipment he had, bought his wife a Corvette w/ the proceeds.

                    Thanks Scott. Keep 'em coming!
                    I too thought I heard in Vegas back in March that Manka had the car sold, but that was before RC popped the motor in the feature that same night. I wondered that night if the car was still sold. Ha.

                      According to Dirt on Dirt - Steve Francis is working a deal that would bring him out the WWSO - he plans on announcing officially during the PRI show.......

                            This should prove to be the best W.W.S. (as far as quality of drivers attending) ever. I've got 3 years left, then empty nest...ahh, golf and racing during the winter in Arizona!
                            I live with fear, but sometimes she lets me race.

                              Going to keep bumping this to the top so it doesn't get lost as this event approaches.

                                Per an interview with DoD at PRI, Feger will more than likely start his 2016 season at LaSalle's Thaw Brawl.
