The race is coming up, has anyone heard about the entry list? Lets get the word out to teams to sign up

[Tom Blaney]

I might be interested in driving a competitive car as part of a good team. Will have some crew to bring with me.

[Knestis]

We're just about 100% certain we will NOT be back to defend our ITB win. No renter interest in time to plan accordingly and be fully ready...

We are also pulling out to do the 13 hour later this year.

I talked to Scott Lane at the 12 hour and he said that the entries were a little lite to date. He put up some flyers announcing that this would be the last 24 under the existing configuration - big plans for Nelson Ledges over the next year. This is an historic race folks, don't give up on it. Scott wants to make it even better in the future.
I see that they deposited my second check so there is some progress being made. Ann McHugh sheparded the event and drivers for many years for the first seventeen or so 24 hour races. Once she gets spooled up, we're in for a ride.

Chuck

I've got no complaints about last year, except for the schedule and it looks like they've largely fixed that issue. I just can't spend a bunch of dough out of pocket to subsidize other drivers' racing so we need to make our nut from rental drivers to make it possible. The economy isn't helping any and we have last year's actual expenses to go on, so know what it needs to cost. It's just the reality of trying to make it workable.

Hillbilly Motorsports will be showing up with the clan again this year in ITB. If the Conover boys aren't coming, we anticipate a podium finish.

Kirk, I'm willing to put beer on the line again if you guys are coming.

Please elaborate on what kind of changes are in store for that wonderful old track ! I sure hope they dont ruin the flow it has !!

[type r rocket]

We loved the event last year and the track is a great place to race we are just in the same boat as the Conover group.

Since everyone was talikng about this at the Grand Am Mid Ohio weekend. New owner, 10 feet wider, complete paving with extra optional "chicanes", new buildings etc etc. Possibly club atmosphere new owners http://www.thechromepony.com/News-02-23-08a.html

Team Troxell (ITB 28 VW Golf) is looking for additional crew members willing to work the Nelson race. We are short on what we need for 24 hours.

One option is to join forces with another team and share crew.

We are willing to discuss expenses for crew members, within reason.

Our car is easy to crew. We gas every 3 to 4 hours and it's with a fuel rig. We change tires on the front about 2 -3 times a race (yes a 24 hour race) and maybe once on the rear. This assumes no rain (but being front wheel drive, we would like to see rain!)

Please contact me at [email protected] if you can help us out. We need to know soon, since the July 12th deadline is approaching.

Hey Jeremy...

Henry Kuter needs a ride if you're still short a driver.

Think I'll be working start this year.

We hope to see everyone there!

Kirk Knestis, Conover Motor Sports, and PhilsTireService.com are disappointed to announce that Team Troxell is free to run roughshod over whatever other ITB cars show up. Lousy economic conditions seem to be keeping the rental drivers away so we're officially a NO-GO as of last week.

Have fun, guys.
