Based on the comments to the previous submission of this list a few days ago, here's a rundown of what looks like a "reasonable to assume" entry list for Saturday and SMS:

0k . black/orange . Kenny Perkins . Victorville . Perkins

1 . blue/white . Seth Wilson . Las Vegas NV . Wilson

2 . black/gold . Austin Williams . Yorba Linda . Jory

3 . black/gold . Rip Williams . Yorba Linda . Jory

3x . black/gold . Logan Williams . Yorba Linda . Jory

4 . silver/red . Nic Faas . Huntington Beach . Alexander

10 . white/orange . Rich Vander Weerd . Visalia . Vander Weerd

37 . blue/orange . Matt Mitchell . Yorba Linda . Mitchell

39 . yellow . Cal Smith . Phelan . Smith

44 . black/gold . Cody Williams . Yorba Linda . Jory

72 . red/white . Greg Alexander . Gardena . Bellegante

83 . black . Austin Liggett . Tracy . Liggett

87 . blue/white . Ricky Kirkbride . Bakersfield . ___

88 . white/blue . Jace Vander Weerd . Visalia . Vander Weerd

89 . white/red . Dave Waugh . Australia . ___

91r . green/gray . Brody Roa . Buena Park . Roa

92 . white/purple . David Cardey . Riverside . Sertich

That's 17 cars. I don't see Seth towing to Santa Maria (I've never seen him at SMS for anything that I can recall). Liggett's come down for pretty much every 360 and 410 show at SMS this year. Kirkbride is iffy for a 410 show but has been here before for them (not an "awful" tow for him though there is a grade near Maricopa on the 166). I also don't see the Gansens or the Benders towing all the way from SB or Ramona. And there is a VRA 360 show Saturday.

Any authorized additions or subtractions? Faria because he's got a barn full of interesting engines? One or two of the track-time-seeking non-wingers or Western Classic people from the Watsonville area? Rusty Carlile (for whom it's a relatively easy tow)? Damion because the Alexanders are probably coming anyway?

Oh, yeah. And some kid named "Bernal," because he thinks he really can whip anybody in the CRA (or URA) at Santa Maria twice in a row?

Add two cars from JSR, the #14 and #36, Cody Swanson and JJ Erces.

Also the Henry/Jones #41 Entry with jake Swanson.

See ya Saturday!

looking foward to the Swansons at SMS Also, the MOOSEMOBILE ! All these guys really. C-U Sat. Night.

Peace, Out.

from: central coast of cali.

Damion or Spencer?  (one of the shorter tows for red sucker)

Both have to be considered as possibles, of course. I didn't put them on the list because of their historic iffiness about races like this in places like this. ..... Has anyone heard anyhing from Kieth or Josh about the kid from Hollister "borrowing the car" this weekend? 

From what I here the Alexanders won't be there, you can count out Nic & Damion. There trying to get ready for Calistoga next weekend. 

Food for though for Labor Day weekend
This would make a Kaly Speedweekend Tour Fri. Watsonville , Sat/Sun. Stoga , Mon. Santa Maria
Most Peeps have this time off so Race Teams/Fans don't have to take any or little time off work
I would think the AZ teams would attend this in greater # than the current mid week swing they are on in OK/Kansas
The above would require Sprint Cars be under one rules package & Promoters/Sanctions working together

The above Comments are satire & for entertainment

As far as I know Jay Waugh is back in Australia.

Bernal's website does not show this event on his schedule, btw. It'll be interesting to see how close this list is to the one that matters.

 Wat to go raj, maybe something to stir it up a little; Like how Bernal put it to em at the freewat series in Victorville last year too.  BIG GRIN GUY'S BIG GRIN!

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true.
