Going to throw this out there again.... This is from last year I'm just gonna post it again....... I just want to put this out there...In this area the Fair shows have the rules really close right now..Closer than they have ever been in my opinion...With that being said NOT all shows are the same you have different Inspection crews, different Promoters so that means just because you get in one show does not mean you will get in all of them.. Everyone reads rules different some stick to the rules, some don't think little things will matter, some just want car count..We all need to get along and show each other respect and work with each other... Inspectors treat drivers with respect and drivers treat inspectors with respect..Treat/talk to them how you want talk to....I'm posting this on my post and others just to put it out there...  |
