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

Post by: johnsonracing on July 11, 2006, 05:59:27 AM: 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.
