Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

This is great news, we will be there! Are they planning on any other Stock/Super Stock Combo races anywhere in the area?

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

1/8th mile or 1/4th mile???

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Why would it be 1/8th Mile?

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

I have not missed a (Fargo) race to this date .I will not miss this one! And just maybe i'll get Glen on the trailer this time, see you here my friend Corky:D

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

WELL...
If you have 1/2 a brain (Like the guy who asked) then I suppose 1/2 a track would be appropriate.

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

I know that Brainerd is having S/SS combos at the bracket events this year.
And Thunder Vally in Marion, SD is having 3 events this year as well!

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

The track at Thunder Valley at Marion SD is a 1/4 mile race track and we will be racing 1/4 mile races wow...3 dates are correct all two day,, two payout races,,, june 9th and 10th july 14 and 15th sept 15th and 16th please come 1 and all and support these combos thanks Bryan

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Mexi, your finially right, I do have a 1/2 a brain, thats what happens when you have a stroke, now whats your excuse?

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

It's going to be fun racing at Top End Dragway, The last time I raced there was the National Open back about five year's back. We had a big car count for S/SS

"Glen" Count Me In !! If ther's somthing I can do to help let me know Kerby :cool:

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Joe, Whats all the talk about racing 1/8 mile? Did I miss something? Let me know as Im done with that. Ron

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Ron, I have raced 1/4 mile for 41 years, thinkin I may dig out a delay box and a tranny brake and try it. Remember, I had one of the first delay boxes in MN and I loved it. Can't see any reason not to try it. NHRA S/SS is turning into a circus act with not much improvement in sight. I must have an attitude problem, or just plain sick of it! I think i'll go camping

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

I know what ya mean Joe. May 1970 Minn Dragways C/MP was my 1st yr. Still love it but it seems sometimes I have a problem on how things are run and am always pointed out to be a complainer. I just may take a year off and see what its like to go somewhere without the trailer. Hey, lets plan a camping trip !! I can see it now, two very old racers hit the campgrounds. What a story !!

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Ron, Holy cow, you got a deal, I have been camping the last few years, and there is sure a lot to see and do especially when you dont have that trailer following us around!!

Joe & Ron,

Here ya go! www.rvtalk.com

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Nice site ! Thanks Jerry. Hey Joe, instead of joining NHRA this year we could join Good Sams club. An idea !!

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Ron, I'm already a member, and I have 2 rv's to choose from, the motorhome and I inherited a 29' 5th wheel from Schmitty's dad. I have rv options!!!

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Great news for Sabin! I attended the track for the first time this summer and it was fun, good people running the track from owner to staging lanes. It's a long haul for me but I will go.

Hey Mr. Demarais, is that car of yours going to fast you wanna race 1/8th mile? Even if you bracket race it's still 1/4 mile... It's only December guys so let's think positive..

As you stated, the way NHRA is and can be, just another good reason to support local combo's and this open at Top End.

Ron, you must be talking about BIR's last race. I'm not sure if the track would have been dangerous running the full 1/4? I doubt it as I have ran in much cooler conditions then that. It was fun and something I haven't done in 8-9 years but prefer running the 1/4 as well.

You guys be safe and I will see you in the spring.

Tim

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Tim, when your as old as I am , the extra 4 sec you use up going down the track seems to me a huge waste of time car parts and is much more expensive for the track preparation. Plus you could run the event faster. All you do the last 1/8 mile is look around trying to find your opponent so you can wait till the last moment and slam on the brakes. I personally would like to try 1/8 mile so whether it be December or April I probably will not change my mind on what I would like to do. Who gives a rats a-- on what I think about it anyway!!

Re: National Open at Top End Dragways
 

Tim, yep thats what I was getting at was the last BIR race. What I didnt care for was being ripped on the PA before the race. They would not have had to do that. You know me, got a little upset over that. As I said done with that crap. Ron
