[Ripperda22]

Even though Korte has been racing at Highland for many years.....Dixon gives him a run for his money. Dixon dominates in qualifying. Gansmann, a guy who has been out for a while comes in and makes a fantastic showing all around. Billy Faust is consistent on any track and hes still young. Weaver the only traveler comes to a track hes barely been on and shows just how good he is. If this was any other track Korte would have no chance.

Ripperda22---wake up.... Korte knows how to set up a car, runs competitive, and wins at other tracks. I am not a big Korte fan, but I don't think you have a clue about his ability to set up and drive a car. Setup and motor is probably 75-90% of the reason dirt trackers win races. There's a number of good drivers out there that haven't figured out the set up, or do not have the high dollar motor.
