Thanks guys. I've gotten everyone's vote now. I will compile it all up and post the results shortly.

I wasn't able to load the spreadsheet, so I will just type it up here:

BDCB Tim Szabo
BDCB Gary Harmon
ADCA Don Cruz
BDCA Billy T
BDCB Rob Irle
ADCB Brad Tennyson

Totals:
Rule1: A=5, B=11
Rule2: A=1, B=0, C=0, D=15
Rule3: A=0, B=2, C=14
Rule4: A=4, B=12

Bottom Line: There won't be any Rule Changes this year in TSO. Thanks to all of you that raced and voted

Sorry Cal, as Laz said, we missed the thread, Manny told us about the thread yesterday and we thought we'd take a peek. I think our vote is on line with what the class has been trying to accomplish since it's inception making sure the class doesn't turn into a Quick 16 little brother. We've raced in TSO in 2011 for the last 3 years but our luck hasn't quite been there. Lost to Gary Harmon in the first round in 2010, lost a freeze plug last year at 166 mph and after trying to convince my steering wheel to take care of daddy, the best it could do is lose me in all the smoke on the top end and managed to slightly touch the wall putting us out of commission for the event. See you around in '12. BOOOOST is almost done, and ready to start playing !

Sorry, I didn't include you guys. I just looked at the qualifying ladders of the TSO racers to get the names. For some reason, I thought you guys were running Q16 and not TSO last season. I am glad to hear you will be running TSO next season, and more importantly, I am glad to hear you are getting the car back together. Feel free to call if there's anything I can do to help get you guys back out. I added your vote to the list.

Start driving South. I'm going to the track nearly every weekend There's a huge race in Valdosta in 3 weeks that a bunch of Northern Buick guys will be driving down to

I hadnt touched the car since having the TSO legal exhaust built at the end of last season, but yesterday had a bit of motivation so I plucked the motor and brought it over to my engine builder for a complete freshen up. I suspect I'll have it back in march, plop it in.. and if the local tracks arent running yet I may take a trip south.
