Re: Roll Call for Elizabeth City
Will be there ....I hope we get some what of a boat count...you can't expect these city's to want us back if no one show's....it's a great town....and remember...some of these little towns put more into events like this then the big citys...they have been running TV spots about the race for over a week....there are a large number of people coming from the South Side of Va. to watch....I know the racers always say how no one in the towns even knew about the race...well, this town dose and so do the surounding citys...we need to make an effert.....

Frank...unfortunately we'll miss Deerfield but expect to return by Chattanooga, then be ready for the Worlds in Key West.
Gino...I agree...just like the Panama City divisional...great media coverage and lots of it! Although only divisional races, they spare no expense and really make the racers feel welcomed.
We're sorry we're gonna miss both races. Our bullet proof Innovation engine got us through two more races than what I'm told it should have...seems we broke something in Sarasota unbeknownst to me...still finished the Sarasota race in third place, then ran the PCB race and finished second. I figured I needed to get that rattling sound checked out since it seemed to be getting louder.
Now that I know we broke some things internally, I've got to get the engine rebuilt to finish the season or risk catastrophic engine failure. A major budget set-back for us...but we expect to finish the season strong.

As far as I know, it's still two...but don't hesitate to call SBI/APBA to verify. As posted on their web site, there are only three races left in which to qualify...Liz City, Deerfield Beach and Chattanooga.
