ihra 1st division race updates?
 

I was wondering if anybody has updates from Capitol raceway this weekend? I've been stuck on a train to FL with piss poor reception, haven't heard anything.

Because of weather related track conditions they got a late start this morning. The Jr.'s are running now, starting with the 1st Round of Saturday's race and then 1st Round of today's scheduled event.

They just announced that as soon as the track is safe for the "big cars" they will start Saturday's race with the ladder they built after qualifying yesterday. Sunday's race will be "random-pairing" with a possibility of "heads-up" races for both Stock and Super Stock.

More to follow...................................

major weeper problems, last i heard they have 5 hrs of racing , (low car count it sounds like 12 SS'ers & 23Stk'ers) and might wait for sunset to start up again.

My big question, 15 /20 years ago we didn't have weeper problems, is drainage problems that bad anymore or is it all the asphalt paved pits anymore, or what? Seems to be a BIG problem everywhere anymore.

Maybe the track surfaces are getting older and are deteriorating under ground? Jim

That's a bummer hopefully Ihra comes back next year . Fingers crossed car count will pick up, there's definitely plenty of cars in this area just look at tri state s/ss @ mason Dixon .

I just got back home, a short drive of 40 minutes! I would like to say the both IHRA and the crew from Capitol Raceway did every thing in their power to get this race off, but the torrential rain that we had on Saturday made the possibility highly unlikely! I hope that Capitol does not give up on this race next year. I believe that the car count would be much better, if the race was held either earlier or later in the year.
