Looking forward to heading that way on Sunday for some fun! I attended an event as a spectator in July and sure enjoyed the show. My daughter spent a ton of time at the slot car track.

 

I know of 4 regular bombers from Edna that are for sure coming down on Sunday, including me. There were 4 more probably's (I will find out for sure Saturday night). I know others were considering it a couple of weeks ago when I talked to them, but haven't talked to them since. Anyway, could have as many as 8 to 10 bombers from Edna there at STS on Sunday, but for sure, 4 of us are committed and have planned our weekend around 2 nights of racing back to back.

 

Thank you Owen for the invitation to run under our bomber rules, and again I'm sure looking forward to a fun night in Corpus.
