Hey guys,
If all of that is not enough incentive for you, you will also get a chance
to see the Street Mod show. That's the biggest group with 13 entries and I
don't see Ochi's name or mine on there yet. Looks like Corey and Sharon
have the yellow beast running again; Vic is going to drive Jim's Tec 3
showcase; Gary and his fast TT are on; Ralph Schubert is always fast; the
reining SM champion, Rob Luis, is on the list (I think that could be a
mistake though since he is listed with Vic's number); the killer WRX is
coming from San Diego to deliver a 1-2 punch (pun intended) with Derek Punch
and Bret Norgard.
