Any Idea who else might show up tonight?  Weather looks much better than yesterday.   Brown, Both Madsens, Tatnell, DoIlansky, a few NOSA guys and hopfully a couple of Knoxville regulars make the show.   

It's on Balog's schedule.  I did a cursory look at some schedules.  Not sure if any IRA guys will come across, but midweek shows are tough for teams (drivers and crew) with full time jobs.  Should be a good turnout (from a quality perspective) at least. 

i would say balog, Ryan Bowers (360 umss), Scotty Thiell has it on his schedule, maybe Reid Allex (another 360), Jared Gorges won't make it according to his facebook, Lasoski had a pretty good run last year so i wouldn't be surprised to see him in the pits, paige polyak says she will is at Granite city (posted 3 hours ago),  Chase Viebrock is out this year with a broken back, so who knows who will take over the 19 ride, maybe swindell? but who knows

you can now add jordan adams now to the list of who will be there

you can add lasoski as he is in the pits already

Riding the bus the 25 miles home from downtown St. Paul to Forest Lake.  Makes no sense to drive 50 miles round trip south and pay for downtown parking and take time off to dive an hour and a half north.  Then pay $40 or whatever a pass is to work all night taking pics.  Back to The 50s is a much better option.  10,000 car photos for $8 if I pickup tics at NAPA.  Took Friday off for that.  Will listen on dirt vision as long as I can stay awake.  5am would come too early.  Hope it's a good show for those attending.  Cool night, bring a sweatshirt.

A buddy just said there are 29 on hand

I'm guessing that Brooke might be there.  I think he's got his own car that he said something about running a few times but not sure if it's a 410.  It would have been a fun show but I can't make the call for work anymore and the price of taking photos went up significantly when I stopped writing.  I got to one race in May and don't think I'm going to make the Cedar Lake WoO show ($45) but maybe the Jerry Richert Memorial.  I used to do an annual fishing trip with family and we all got together at a graduation party last weekend and decided we better jump on it and do it again.  Might be a rock concert as well, the son-in-law's band is opening for Alice In Chains and we're going to see them at First Avenue Main room.  The deal was always that every dollar spent for me to chase races would be offset by an equal amount doing the things my wife likes but sometimes I swear that it's $2 for her to $1 of mine.  Lots of stuff going on so I had to give up going to these races because of the price of these pit passes.  I'm not into sitting in the stands, if I'm not taking photos and hanging with the race teams in the pits I don't go anymore.  I still try to follow it online but even that is a major hit on the credit card for these PPV.  Hope their connection is good because Granite City will have some locals in the field.
