If you spun into the snow, you had to do your own pushing. Have you ever tried to push your car with no one driving except the choke?"

There is no official word from SCCA but according to Gene Strangeburg of the Des Moines Region, Greenwood Raceways may roar with the sound of SCCA racing this season.
