 I ran a 1974 pintowagon last year. It was the 2cd oldest pinto that I have ran in a derby..The car was tuff...It took a beating....I took  2cd place with it...And a 3rd...And some cash in pocket...

bring one where you have to run against some actual car counts elk river is paying $950 to win you have to run heats instead of only against maybe 15 cars if lucky in your area  willmar you had at least a car count to run against

I'll be back to Wilmar,I hope.I have run Elk River and laughed at the miniature trophies they give out.Don't like Roger who runs it.One reason I run compacts  because they are one heat.Don't have to load the truck with half of my shop.
  Obviously you know who I am,who are you?Just curious.

You should bring that pinto to Princeton on the 12th.  Should be a good derby.

Buffalo, September 16th.  Usually a lot of pre-ran cars people bring to finish off.  Good car count. One run go for the compacts.
