I spoke with Keith Rotzi at the meetings in January, and he intends to run Riverhead this year along with his dad. Roger Oxee, I'm sure, will be there, too, chasing that 2nd Championship, right RJ?

[DriveitinDeep]

Correct!!!!

I believe Scott is gonna be there for the full year with some new interesting colors....

I think Jack's coming back for a full season too..

I heard Buzzy is thinking about running a full season, and I think Tribuzio plans on being there opening night.... all the way from Ga...

[LongIslandJam]

Scott with a new paint scheme? When was the last time that happened? He's be running the same paint scheme since 1999 or before.

Cool to see Jack back full-time.

I also heard Buzzy will be back more often, but how often I haven't heard.

And good to see Rob back for a race. Hope he's doing well down south.

I also heard a former Figure 8 champ is going Late Model racing, is that still happening?

[Tower Man]

Regarding that Figure 8 Champ running. Well, I was sitting with him as he spoke to a potential sponsor. I heard him say, same money as in 2006. 2 cars with one being a Late Model.

Wow Joe, I guess you didn't inherit the horrible Kraft hearing. Still working on some deals nothing is definite yet but getting closer.

My father didn't teach me much, but he said God gives you two ears and one mouth. Because you are supposed to listen twice as much as you speak. I pay attention. I know I heard "...two cars same cash..."
