Hopefully everyone had a very merry christmas and everyone will have a happy and safe news years next week, byt for now back to business. Just a few more rumors that have been circulating around for the past fews weeks.
2008 World of Wheels, last years the Hargraves bunch took home three top awards, this year they are returning with the same car, but a new surprising look for the team. Also rumor has it that Doug Greig will be entering one of his new cars along with Casey White and Nick Moore entering their newly built Greig Race Cars. Don't be surprised to see a few stockers also with Jimmy Swatts and possibly EJ Neat.
Steve Frost looks to upgrade next season at the Speedrome, he has purchased the 2006 car driven by Fred Bear Jr, to many feature victories from Chuck Hargraves, in hopes of returning to the steady front runner he was in the late 90's and early 00's. Frost had many good runs in 2007, including a World Championship Qualifying race win, but wants to return the the status that he held in past years. The car needs a lot of help, but it will be fast in 2008.
What would be an offseason rumor mill with out talks of a St. John, this year there are two in the news. Mike, who recently moved to Flordia to care for his ill father would like to make a comeback for a few races, but needs to find a solid and competitive ride. I wouldn't be surprised to see Iron Mike pop up for a few big shows in 2008, leading up the 32nd annually World Championships. Also the younger Tommy St. John, former winner in Sunoco Series is rumored to have a 5-7 race deal for the Speedrome in 2008. There hasn't been much follow up on this, this became hot topic when Tommy's CRA Team was sold late in 2007, could there be another generation of St. Joh at the Speedrome to carry on the family winning ways that Marvin, Kenny, Mike, and Jeff and laid down over the past many years. I say not to likely, but it is a possiblity.
Chris Harmon, the Jeffersonville 2007 Figure-8 King, winner of the regular season and Midwestern championships series is finally getting serious about an outlaw ride, look for Chris to finally make the move to follow in his father footsteps at the world championship in 2008. For the past few years his name has popped up closer to the race as looking for a ride, but this year his quest is starting early, so look for another top Sportsdrome driver to be at the 2008 World Championship.
Thats it for now, talk to you all after the new year.
