Are y'all going to be doing testing at TWS any time soon?
We wanted to, but TWS wants $5,000-$6,000 for a day mid week because of the cost of closing the concrete walls on the back straight :shock: :shock:Quote:

THEN, we hope to find some other underfunded teams to practice drafting at the prerace practice sessions...
The car owners and I do not expect much out of Jason (no fault of his) and we will not push him to risk the car early in the season. I just cannot pass up this oppertunity for him to drive a Roush prepared car at some of the top Superspeedways in the world (I don't sleep much at night and pinch myself on a regular basis). If he finishes dead last and 50 laps down with an intact car, I will be the proudest father you have ever seen.

Still in the VERY early stages it will be two weeks before I can get my time line set and start ironing out the details
Well that counts out the LAW Enduro Crew. :wink:
This would definitley be a cool deal.
hehe... I still have a sense of humor... contrary to public beliefQuote:

Meeting with the car owners Saturday to finalize the deal and fit Jason into the seat...
Might have a little meet and greet Sunday afternoon if there is any interest from you local guys... Just some hotdogs and chips... byob and lawnchairs...
PM me if you think you can make it and I'll get back with you if I can make it happen...
31826 Cates, Pinehurst, TX for those who have never been there...
NEWS RELEASE from ARCA's VP of Competition:
We will allow Jason the opportunity to test at Talladega and evaluate his on track performance. Just a reminder that it will be necessary for Jason to have his physical and drug screen completed prior to the test.
AWESOME!
I think the LAW Enduro Team should go support Jason and David at their race. (seriosly) You could get Blue Bell Ice Cream to sponsor your equipment needs. (also seriously - send them the ice cream photo from TWS and tell them you could re-create it for them at a national event)
David wouldn't have me.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. :)Quote:

fuel is provided at NO COST with a limit of a full load required at prerace tech plus 33 gallons...
A min of three sets of Hoosiers MUST be purchased at a cost of $600 each but you get back $100 if the rim is not damaged and another $100 if the innerliner is intact...
We must run a specific carb 4150 Holley 830 cfm and the studs have to have holes so it can be sealed prerace along with the restrictor plate..
The ignition box is provided by ARCA, they give you the part numbers for the connectors and the layout for the mounting holes to mount the module...
I can go on and on and on, anyway the general rules are sent out very early and at least they don't tell you that you must use a tire that is unavailable... and ALL cars must weight the same, no penalty for driving a cheby
