Well we are nearing the end of the season and what a great year its been. The 305 car count could have been better and the payout could have been better but HEY we saw wheel to wheel sprint racing all season with but 2 yellow flags for crashes, 1 for the 14 car the very first night and 1 for the 7w & 03 car a couple weeks ago.I've witnessed not 1 cross word between the sprint folks and I'm almost positive that everyone of em are playing within the rules. Also we have seen a different winner almost weekly. Folks it just don't get any better than that. I for 1 hope the low car counts haven't discouraged Bobby and I'm thinking we may have a very good car count next season as Bobby told me he knows of 3 to 4 cars that aren't done just yet. Maybe we had a low count as folks where just sitting back to see what happens this season. I do know there is interest in em as a couple of out of funds midget drivers out of Springfield Ill. where checking us out earlier in the season. I can't put a finger on why there aren't more cars but I can tell you this, I've been messing with a bunch of different class race cars for at least 30 years now and the 305's are (so far ) the best bang for your buck bar none. On a side note we have gained another 305 car as ex midget racer John Tosti purchased a race ready car just yesterday,hopefully we will see him out before season end as he has to pick it up in Penn.(hurry up every chance ya get John ! Josh say's he can't wait to wear your old fat arse out !!!) I would like to start rallying for a rule change
and that would be the 16 year old limit. I know all the arguments buttttt what a lot of folks don't take into account are what we old open wheelers call the 1/4 midget kids, just look at the likes of Korey Weyant,Kyle Stephens, Justin Allageir,Jeff Gordan and the list goes on and on, these kids have been racing since they where 5 years old and have more seat time than most of your average 30 year old saturday night drivers and they have been doing it with what is called a "charging rule" where as if they bump a car outa the way intentional or not they are sent to the back. My case in point on this is Peter Palazzolo, he won't be 16 untill July or August 08, kids run 1/4 midgets since he was 5, been running micros the last couple years,and will probally get a midget shot this year or next. The family has a 305 roller at their disposal for the 08 season but if he has to wait till he turns 16 to drive it we will loose that car because if they have to put their funds into the micro to start the 08 season then thats what they'll be stuck with as they can't afford to do both.
Peter has driven Gavin Galbraiths #03 sprinter at BEANFIELD INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY and I can tell ya I'd run wheel to wheel with him anytime. So we do need to consider an exception on the age rule to gain another car for the 08 season,Besides ya let him run a micro @ Doe Run and I'll GarenDarnTee ya a micro will run circles around them sprinters ( But they just don't look and sound as COOOOOOLLLLL) Hey it's time to go home and I've about wore my index finger out. Seeeeeee ya'll Friday night........ Howard
