Happy New Year 3 Widers!

2022 was a light year for new tracks. Only 5 new tracks. The highlight was making the Chili Bowl. The cost to fly really skyrocketed so I decided to pass on some events one of which was the I-30 Short Track Nationals. That one burns me because I did not know until close to the event that they were shutting down.

Sounther National for SMART Mods was great because I got to catch up with guys I grew up with at Wall! The laughs were better than the race.
Seeing a great field of Dirts Mods in my own backyard was awesome with STSS at Cherokee!
Seeing the Mods at North Wilksboro with a packed house was also great to see. I think last I saw the Mods there was 1984.
Did Austin F1 for two years in a row. I'm done with that one.
World Finals I can take or leave. I renew the tix each year because of the proximity to me.

2023
I had to sell my Chili Bowl tix due to work, but I will be renewing in hopes of 2024.

So far I have STSS at Lakeview in Feb, Coastal Plains in March, USAC in May at Bellville, KS along with a trip to IN to knock off IRP, Lincoln Park(that one burned me) and Paragon targeted.
