We might be running 3 heat racing at Wilson next weekend to increase boat time for your money.

[SAWYER]

I don't know why DMH is'nt on the shedule, but it will need to be added. I think the same thing happened last year. SS

[James Luce]

What about DMR?

Classes listed on sanction

I'm sorry guys but the classes listed on the sanction are the standard 16 classes CVRA puts on their schedule. They are the only classes that will be run at Wilson this year. Last year was divisionals so all classes were listed. We are not hosting any divisionals at Wilson this year, Region 5 (Jesup, GA) has MOD and J Class divisionals this year.

Special requests for classes need to be made before the 45 day deadline for filing a sanction.

DMs ??

Can't the DMHs and DMRs run with the FEs? They'd sure make for fuller race fields.

[Bill Huson]

I'm sure the D Mods can run with FE . . .

Can't the DMHs and DMRs run with the FEs? They'd sure make for fuller race fields.

Unless there's been a major rule change I'm not aware of. We often ran our lone Hot Rod B stock with 20ssH boats, and I ran my 15ssH with the PRO class 125ccH boats.

[ryan_4z]

D mod's are legal FE motors.

Good luck drivers be safe and have a fun day.

Partial Wilson Report

Just got back in from Wilson. Here's a very brief report of what I remember.

Winners:
CSH - Erik Petersen (eleven boats)
20ssH - Matt D'Agostino
AXSH - James Luce
FEH - Steve Dunn
CMH/BMH - (can't remember)
ASH - (can't remember)

Small turnout, great water, good weather, one flip (D. Riser CSH - no injuries).

Also very appriciated are the guys like Erik P., the Luce's, Shawn Breisacher and all those who drove from that not-so-small distance to get here.

Looking forward to another great (and hot) day tomorrow. Sorry that I couldn't remember all the winners from today.
