Reg 10 OSY

With the stock nationals in michigan the week after the pro nationals , will there be a large osy400 field with people doing the double ?

Region 10 has a trailer coming through depue before stocks. Kyle Lewis, Jerzee Holman and myself. I most likely will not be running OSY (i weighed in at 467lbs in CSH at divisonals! LOL), but Kyle and Jerz will be from what i know.

Reg 10 OSY include: Lewis, Holman, John Peeters, probably a Nilsen boat, and maybe Ashley rucker..... (might have to get Sheryl to approve that one!).

[RuthieRae]

Uggghhhh - Ashley

Maybe I should check in with my doctor and get some blood pressure meds before the trip, Cullaby about put me down between OSY and 20ssH.

1) Guedo
2) John Peeters
3) The Killer Pimp
4) Chicken Suit Guy
5) Push Boat Champ

4) Its a Duck Suit!

Everything Tim said is correct except the blue tarps. The village is not allowing them anymore so the new thing is spray paint a square area with your name in it. The two things i will add is 1) a well run PRO Nationals by the US Title series. They do a great job keeping the program moving and keeping the spectators entertained. The second is all the betting that goes on in the crowd and the stakes can get pretty big!!!!!!!

[rcnfan71]

Well I will add a few:
1. The GREAT Ray Rodda will do a great job keeping the fans going with his great calls.
2. The ground with shake when Paul F fires that big 1100 up, and yes it does shake.
3. The US Title Series will put on a GREAT race, thank you Pete G, Sue S , Todd B , Bev K and the rest of the crew, THANK YOU.
4.The fans will see the greatest drivers do what they do best.
5.The over-under on "holy buckets"will be 50.
