You know me better than that.... Just waiting for the ROC or Whelen South to give me a schedule. Probably a Dunn Tire weekend or hopefully , a Tri County race in NC.

Don't get your hopes up for Tri-County

Will any drivers run a schedule with that many races on it?

Mahoning and Mountain have released their schedules. What's up with upstate NY? The ROC and very few tracks have released their schedules.

50 modified races ( not an all time high.. I'm slowing down) if I make both N/S Shootout at Caraway and Turkey Derby at Wall.

Ended up with 49 modified races.

Best race of the year - Seekonk Wednesday show

Top ten races of the year ( for me.. not necessarily the best overall races)
1. Seekonk
2. Loudon - July
3. Riverhead Tour
4. Loudon - Sept
5. Turkey Derby
6. Star - open show
7. New Smyrna - Goodale wins!
8. Jarzombek/Evans/Baldwin memorial race
9. Mahoning 130 (with heat races!)
10. Monadnock ( Ralph Solhem, Jerry Marquis, Teddy Bear Pools & Spas)

First time tracks for me - Holland

Most controversy - Lee June race ( should have made my top ten races!! I'm still talking about it)

Worse race - The May Riverhead race that didn't even get half way to the finish and Spencers ROC in a tie!

World Series race with the M.R.S. on Saturday was good with the battle of Pennink and McKennedy but my favorite race of the year was that modified finish in July at Loudon
