Burt Myers of Walnut Cove, N.C. confirmed Saturday that he is looking at the possibility of running the 35-lap SK Modified feature at Waterford next week.

"I'm definitely up for it," Myers said by phone Saturday evening. "Anywhere new I can get the chance to race I'll jump at the chance."

Myers confirmed last month that he would attempt to make the Whelen Modified Tour season opening event at Thompson International Speedway on April 11 if he could get through Saturday's Whelen Southern Modified Tour event at South Boston (Va.) Speedway unscathed.

Myers finished eighth in the South Boston 150 and said his plans to come up north for the weekend remain intact.

"Come hell or high water I'll be there," Myers said. "After the day I had today I'm pretty discouraged, but I'm excited to come up there. We'll start thrashing on the car Monday to get it ready. I've been talking to a few guys that have run up there getting myself educated about the place. We don't run any tracks like that down here."

The Whelen Modified Tour is scheduled to qualify at Thompson on Saturday afternoon, giving Myers plenty of time to get to Waterford for their second Saturday night show of the season.

It's unclear at this time what team Myers would drive for at Waterford.

"We're talking to a couple people, we're pretty certain we'll have a car for him," Waterford Speedbowl owner Terry Eames said. "We still have a couple phone calls to be made but we feel like it's worthwhile to do it."
