Bob Jane is a turd. He wouldn't give a discount to his own family.

Now everyone, say sorry to BJ and thank you to Rod who, for the last 12 months, has tirelessly put up a list each week and secure discounts for us all for nothing more then the love of the forums and drag racing.

Sorry dude, didn't know about the list. My opinion of BJ stems from his treatment of competition drag racers over the last few years. When I called him a turd I was being nice.

the discount last I heard was 45 to race (usually 55) and I can't remember the spectating savings but I would guess you would save in the vicinity of 10 bucks |

There is a special dance you can do for the girl's amusement, but thats an OFR secret, maybe Mark (XRFPV8) will show you after
the monza runs a 9 the pursuit runs a 10 the XR8 runs an 11 and MY CAR eventually runs some sort of 13, lol |

Can't make tonight but I should be good to go in 3-5 weeks to come out for a run Rod. I don't get my cyl heads back till tomorrow I'll be aiming for low->mid 11's next time out. Should be fun
I've made a pile of changes and should have a few more horses to play with. Brenden
