I live in blue springs just north of plesant hill. I don't know about any pulls but I'm part of a local dirt latemodel race team and our season should be in full swing by then.

We have 2 points championships at valley speedway in grain valley and 2 championships at central missouri speedway in warnsburg. We are apart of a new racing organization we started last year http://www.ulmaracing.com/ . Valley didn't sanction our rules for 08 so we probaly will not run a full season there. LA speedway in lamont picked up the our sanctioning for 08 so we will be raceing there some as well. I think we are going to try and make a few down at lucas oil speedway down in weatland this spring. If anyone wants to tagalong to any of the races this season just geve me a shout.

Are you in NC or CA right now ??

Cheers,

Hey thanks bud. I am stationed in NC but I'm temporarily in Cali. I'm out here for 3 months going to an andvanced maintenance course. I grew up in Mo till I left for boot camp but I dont make it home alot. Where exactly is Mtn Grove? is it far south? It sounds familiar. We used to have a little bit of land in cassville but I dont know if that's too close.
