as the season starting in about a month, i was wondering who might or if anybody, might show up to the season opener who is not a regular on the mrs.

[limodmaniac]

Not sure what drivers are showing up, but you know I'll be there. If weather is decent, will come up for two days too.

I think I am going on Saturday and Sunday see you all down there

[KH0429]

I'll be there, my father and grand father are also coming from Maine for it.

It's a big advantage to Waterford to be the first track racing in New England, alot of people are starting to get the "itch" and are willing to come a long ways to see some racing.

[limodmaniac]

Should be a great race. Don't know who all is racing at the Bowl, but I do know that Matt Hirschman and Eric Goodale are both going to be there. Probably will be a big turn out of cars. The Bowl should be packed for this one!

Not sure if Stefanik and Coby are racing, but they did last year. Hope they will be back.

anyone knows who keith rocco is driving for

[Bobby1717]

Everything that I have read this season points to the same owner/team as last year. That same team will also run at TIS.

[Bobby1717]

I am so pumped for Sunday. The mods are finally here!!!!!!!

[limodmaniac]

I am so pumped for Saturday!!!

Low 30's blue skys, reminds me of the old days at the Icebreaker. Lots of trips to the car to warm up!!

Good luck everyone this weekend.

Smile when you see the camera!!

I have flown up to CT this weekend for a pasta dinner this afternoon to benefit for a good friend of mine, Tommy Wishart. So I guess I'll be at Waterford to witness the MRS for the first time since their first trip to Thompson.

Anyone in the Bristol area today and not at the track, head out to the German Club for a good cause from 3-8, great food, huge silent auction and raffles, BYOB & cash bar, and plenty of live music including CT legends Fountainhead.

Any bets on which will be colder this year, New Symyrna or Waterford?
