Welcome to the board! :thumb:
I havent heard anything about Snake River this year but I could find out as I know the guy. I went to some of his races and was not too impressed. He built a good track but the timing setup was bad and he did it as cheaply as you possible could and cut corners. In fact, the track was excelent. Having somebody standing halfway down the track with a stopwatch was lame.
I raced everything I could over here for two years before I burned out of it. Oli Anderson is having a race and Monster Truck deal real soon here in Blackfoot. but he only takes like 10 or 12 local people and you have to sign up early in person at the fairgrounds every year.
The races in Soda Springs are pretty good but they are biased to local people. I have some story's there. Soda's class rules are pretty tight and with my modified body, I would be running against some real heavy hitters. They do use real timing and do reverse rotation though, which is nice.

Most serious races I've been to let us have two passes and we either had a combined time or best time to determine the winners. I prefer double elimination because we get more passes if we are winning, if you don't win you only get two passes. With a "speed" pit most folks can make it through, it's just a matter of how long it takes. With the built in sprinklers the track at Mount Home stays much more consistant between groomings. Anyone who has put on a race knows how hard it is to keep a track groomed and the lanes as equal as possible.
