How many cars, Michael?

Mike Carr · 05-07-2011, 12:56 PM

I was hoping they'd have their 1320Go Live Timing working, but it's been turned off all weekend.

*edit* According to 1320 from Facebook, the connection was not ready in time.

Nice day till about 10 minutes ago. Good amount of cars smooth running event, and no fuel cars dumping oil. Congrats Brian and Lee great job.

Little rain delay... Sprinkle on the starting line, top end has cleared off. Dimino announced not sure of car count but he thought right around 100. Looks like a good crowd in the pits. Great event. It's amazing there's not 200+ cars here. Hats off to Zane and Van Poppel for going out on a limb for their fellow S/SS racers, and thanks to Numidia for playing host.

Brooming the track now....

An unscheduled monsoon interrupted halfway through first round of Stock. I got complacent and discounted the headwind, slowing .06 vs Wes McCracken before the rain hit. Hope it clears up, but looks like we'll be down a good long while. Good luck to everyone!

Raining in the D1 area? That's unusual.

Thanks for the reports, Michael. Have a safe trip home.

Any updates?

Michael Beard · 05-07-2011, 06:25 PM

Talked to Myron on the phone, said they got close to running again, but it was decided the track was too cold or was otherwise not going to be up to par, so the race will be run tomorrow.

Paul Precht · 05-07-2011, 10:42 PM

What time will they finish first round.

Joe DeMarzo · 05-07-2011, 11:29 PM

First round never was completed. After about 7 pairs of stockers it started to rain and rain and rain. The track did everything possible to try and finish 1st round of stock and then super stock but mother nature did not allow it. Everything was attemped to get first round in, the track even cancelled its own Saturday night bracket race so we could finish but it was determined to start again Sunday at 8:00am.

Kudo's to Numedia dragway and Brian VP and Lee Zane for they treat us like kings. Friday the track in partnership with this race gave us free TT starting at 3:30 and I was able to get 4 TT before 6:00pm. Could have gotten 6 if I wanted to. Did I mention free.

Though I won first round I had to head home for Mother's day but Brian, Lee and Numedia were great and did everything to get this done today.

Looking forward to the next combo race. My money is on hometown girl Katie Sepanek.
