Sweet! Is this usually every year or something new? Don't remember seeing this last year.

They stopped a few years ago due to lack of attendance,

I went the last few years they had it .

I plan on attending hope they get a good turnout

Yes as Form74 mentioned, They had one last year. The present track manager is an Olds guy and also is doing a much better job of running the races since he's been doing the job. He's also a Racer. Rich

Never understood why so few participate. Always seems like more Buicks that Ponchos. The Mopar guys really turn out for their day.
Go figure.

694.1, Seems like a good time to change that! There is some sort of issue between the Byron and GLD BOP races. Some won't go to one or the other. The GLD race from the past is getting better with the newer track manager, He's trying to bring it back.

Well, don't know how Saturday was, but Sunday was absolutely terrible. And I'm not talking about the heat. The place was a ghost town. I could have thought of a million other things to spend my $20 on. Very disappointing to say the least.
