Re: what would you like to see happen in 08

I miss the old timers...
I'd like to see Joe Amato back in the sport.
I would love to see Shirley's team win a National event.
I would love to see Bob Glidden securing a Motorcraft sponsorship with Billy driving.
How about Dale Pulde instead of some of the many cute kids who can't drive?
War Eagle baby.....
I'd like to see Del get it together and contend.

Most of all, I'd like to see a better TV deal DONE, so the fragile sponsorship base gets some real ROI potential. That will attract more investment and grow our sport.

Re: what would you like to see happen in 08

I'd like to see Alan Johnson finally announce his plans to open a Pottery Store, and that he's leaving racing, effective immediately.

No, seriously I hope everyone out there from the Safety Safari to the weekend local yokel racers at the many small tracks around the USA to Tony Shoemacher & John Force, to the food vendors & parking lot people, the fans and everyone in between has a safe, enjoyable season. I hope the fans have nice weather and races don't get postponed. I hope there's no conspiracys or turmoil. I hope there's some surprise winners and some exciting upsets. I hope some new sponsors and first time fans come to the sport. Drive safe, wear earplugs and good luck!

Pro Stock, Pro Mod, Fuel... I'm not picky!

heck, I'd settle for even being back in a running little pro 5.0 mustang that's funded for the year! (hopefully in March?)

Re: what would you like to see happen in 08

Like everyone else, I just want a year without any major incidents, on or off the track.

But most of all, I would like nothing more than the boys from Arlington, Texas to make a triumphant return to Pro Stock..........................Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know it's not going to happen. But I can wish.

Re: what would you like to see happen in 08

I'd like to see V qualify for all the races, win a few and finish higher in the points. Melanie, Ashley and Hillary post wins this year and get lots of mainstream press. Antron and JR holding Wallys. Hot Rod in contetion for the title again. Peggy L get a good ride. TJ Jr in the winner circle. Tom Hammonds get a win, Larry Nance back on tour. Cool dry weather for the Mile High Nats. A good safe, drama free year for everybody and lots of solid sponsorship announcements for 2009.
