2018 Ford Mustang Pro Stock

I find it odd there are only 2 weekends left this early in the summer. Is this the only track around like this?
there is 4 race weekends and then a weekend with 3 hour race
so five in total. Many years ago it was 7 race weekends.
How or why it became 5 I am not sure.
Likely costs and it works out there is none in August.

So one more in July, one in Sept
JCM 3 hour race in Octpber.

there are 5 races on these weekends,
Practice sat night and 5 races on a Sunday. normally.
 
Ahhh ok. Yeah Probably a cost thing like you said. More participation every weekend they have it as people are more likely to make a bigger effort to attend as well.
Stock car racers run every weekend, but big boys Pro stock tour do 10 races a year around the maritimes,
you don't wanna know what that costs if you want to play in top 10
Friday night racers are cheaper than what I do, but 3 nights a week working on car if you don't break or hit anything.
Very time consuming.

Road racing over all is harder on cars, technically on a Sunday we have 5 races
4 -- 30 mintues races and a one hour enduro, Almost impossible to do with one driver.
better be in far better shape than me and have at least 4-5 people helping during day.

If I ran all 4 weekends and JCM, providing I don't break anything serious or hit anything serious.
its still more than I care to think about, For me time is just as hard to come by.
Next year I will have some sponsors ( besides Me) to help pay for me to play :)

With the work I do, the Mustang stuff I do and want to do, I am more than busy
and at this point, I am having fun, as long as that heppens I will continue or
at least for a few years.
 
After the weekend, Leigh Pettipas drove the car Friday
he has 2 of these at the track, after a discussion with him last night,
then I took it to Mike, who has built and works on countless Pro stock cars
along with racing everywhere including AMP

I found out how much was not done right, fortunately most can be fix relatively easy
Mike it going fix up nose and fix a few braces, bit of welding.

Then its going to leigh to Address some of the other issues and play with set up a bit more.
Both think car has gone bones and The stuff I bought and had rebult is decent.
So hopefully in couple weeks i have back, Along with few things I would like to do,
with a bit of luck will be going to Next event a lot better shape than last week :)

Got nose and new air box built, few braces fixed,

and set work done, should be done before next event
and putting new Perillis on it as well.
