yeah, apparently they do in the bay area.. hmm i'm going to need a lot of
magnetic material to put in "274 SM2-ST-N" (street-mod 2, street tire,

i believe i'm allowed to run in novice since i haven't raced for 9 years
and never won anything at a national/regional level. Went to the 94
wendover regionals and got my butt handed to me, but it was fun :) that
was one week after I had gotten all fired up because i actually won my
class (BS at the time) locally :)
