Re: Rumble in the Roads - 2014
Are you running IRI rules, standard rules, or a different non-standard set of rules?
Do we get to know who the B-teams are? |

The 3 teams that have requested B team slots are 422, 1086, and 1610. I'm planning on sending out an email to each of the teams that have requested B teams letting them know if they are in or not. As of now all teams that have requested one have a slot. With that said, we'd like to be able to include as many teams as possible. We are asking for some understanding if we have a registration come in after this week we may ask a B team to drop. 1610 has already offered to be the first B team replaced if more registrations come in. |

Re: Rumble in the Roads - 2014
I guess it is ironic the first year we need 9801 bumpers is also the the first year in a while that we had bumpers that can't be mounted upside down.
