That's GREAT NEWS...The dropping of Indi in favor of Atlanta and the return from Bradenton to SGMP halves the traveling costs.
The BAD NEWS is the overall cost, now down to $7,500 for the four events, It's just way to rich for me now I'm having to live on my pension.

I'm sorry but you'll have to count me OUT guys.

Will 2014 put a SOHC/4 in the money?  ???

With the schedule the way its set up now, i hope to make all 4 events and run my F model in all. Shooting for a top ten finish- ummmm, might be wishful thinking. Lol

Sam, perhaps you could crew on a ship? Make a little pocket change and get a free ride  ;) What else is there to do with your time! I'm sure someone would pick you up at the port.  :)

I don't see why not Frank. Last year I finished 57 out of 265 starters and only contested 2 of the 8 races.

Now that they rejoined forces Sam, the season will be a lot tougher for everyone. The cream will once again rise to the top.

Not quite true Frank, Look at last years results. The champ in SET only had a good last race but contesting all the races gave him the championship.

It depends on Sir Sam! Samauto if he's not here. Either way will take Calendar Girl as back up or my ride. Purple Rain Turbo bike needs 42mm flatside carb and fuel pump and undercut gears before its ready to race....and then still won't be a good bracket bike. Pena bikes look more like 2015 debut's!Bill

Yes, two Hondamatics in Virginia racing in street ET. Bill on the quicker one and I on the slower one. Make your bets on who goes more rounds there.... ::)

May there be a liquid worm showing up at Atlanta Bill?

If the wife doesn't decide to run her bike in Pro ET, i'll be at all of the races with my F model in street ET. Not able to take them all unless i buy a bigger trailer and thats not going to happen any time soon.

Jon, I think Bill will go most rounds providing that two things are in his favor.

#1, he doesn't red light.
