The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

So here we are the week before Miramichi !!
Do you guys have C-12 available?
After route 8 I arrive in Miramichi then how do I get to the track ?

Mike
C12 is no problem as Miramichi is a VP dealer

Will post up directions coming from route 8 in morning

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

Mike

Follow Route 8 in to Miramichi. You will come through a commercial area with Boston Pizza, Canadian Tire etc.

Look for junction of Route 8 and Route 11. Take Route 11 South which will take you on to a large bridge over the Miramichi River

Follow Route 11 South for about 3 miles. You will pass a Tim Hortons on your right.

You will be looking for North Nappan Road on the right (1/2 miles after Tims). Intersection has a flashing yellow light. There will be a gas station and RV dealer on the left. Take that road and follow it in for 1 mile. Signs will take you to the gate.

If you are following Route 8 from Fredericton, stay on it as you enter city. After crossing a second bridge, the first is as you enter city, you will come to set of lights. Continue straight through. It is rte117. After about 6 kms you will reach a on ramp to Rte 11. to the right. Merge onto 11 and follow Mark's instruction from there

Day 1 of PC Richards National open is in the books. Mother Nature cut short racing with a torrential downpour with 3 cars left in SS/stock cic race.
Jerry Hatch, Malcom London and ??? left. No National records but Brian Oakes went 8.90 in SS/CA Forecast for tomorrow Sun

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

Third car is Guy Desjardins.

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

You would pass a Tim Hortons ? I'd stop in :)

8.90 in SS/CA is great.

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

Should go quicker than that this morning. Weather feels fast and at least 1500-2000 ft da better than Epping was last week. I was # 37 for the combo when I rolled in yesterday. Maybe more will arrive.

I didn't know it before yesterday, but the Maritime area is in a different time zone.

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

Great job "Snake" ! and also Fred, both great customers of NJDRS
Nice run Quack & Mark (also both customers)

Re: The third canadian open in eastern Canada--Miramichi
 

I wanna take this opportunity on behalf of all of us in the ACSSA and Miramichi Dragway to thank you all for coming to our "little" event😉 It turned out to be a huge success and exceeded all of our expectations and even impressed our Division 1 reps.
With 6 records being set, we will hope for an even bigger and better race next year. The weather cooperated all weekend the crew at Miramichi Dragway worked hard all week leading up to the weekend and we had a very nice facility to race at. As Eric said..the stands and fences were full so hope it's a sign of things to come.
Awesome race and Awesome people and friends. .thank you..
