I wouldnt mind hitting up a few different tracks. The first couple times Im not going anywhere too far though to beat on an untested truck. Things usually dont go my way. I put 900 miles on this thing before it ****.

chicken whats the worst, you break something and you have to get a trailer so one of our TRUCKS can tow you home.

Milan has the truck race in july I think??
I'll go to this Onyx. I work til 1 pm Sat.It's on Sat. July 12.
Again, any dates, y'all? Post em.

I'd love to go...see what the boys in Hartland got & how worried I need to be.

Here's the deal. Normally to watch @ Milan:$12
race @ $25

On the following days u can watch for $5. Race for $10.
I think they're all Fridays. JUNE 27, July 18, AUG 15, Sept 19. Work may conflict in Ju, July, or Aug. So Sep. may be the only night I could attend for cheap( I have a large roofing job in Sept. but plan on a vacation then too.

July 12th ( Truck Shootout) looks like a go for me.

I dont really care what day it is, I just need to know in advance so I can get the day off work or w/e. I normally work M-F 2:30pm to 10:30pm and sometimes M-Sun, like last week and this week. Fridays are no good for me unless I know in advance so I can get the day off.

As far as the days, the (4)dates I mentioned are for cheaper racing. If other than Nickel & Dime Nights as they call those, I can do SATurdays after time listed or if I don't work a Sat( Almost never).

This doesn't have to be catered to 1 person like me. My bigger goal is giving advance notice to all. I don't know bout the rest of y'all, but I work 6 days/wk esp. in summer(JU JLY AUG) & my hrs go up @ the same time. I have a schedule that is all over the place.

As stated, I do plan to go to Milan for that Truck Shootout(SAT JULY 12). Any takers?
