What to expect and where to go when you enter the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout!

First off, anyone attending the Lucas Oil event being held at Englishtown this upcoming weekend and would like to bring their stuff to Numidia following the event the gates will be open till 6pm on Sunday. If you are going to be any later please call the track line (570-799-5090 / 570-799-5091). I can’t tell you if anyone will be there or not but, call first before you tow out there and you can't get in. I will not be at the track till Wed or Thursday of next week so I cannot help out in anyway. Once you enter the gates for the event on Thursday, you will only pay for any spectators that are with you. A 1 day pass is only $7.00, 2 day pass is $14.00 and a 3 day pass is $21.00. On Thursday all we are doing is parking cars and getting set-up for the event but, someone will be at the gate to collect the spectator cash. Gates will be open starting at 10am till 10pm on Thursday (If you are going to be late please call my Cell phone 856-332-2851 and let me know). The latest I will let cars in that night is 11pm so no 2am calls asking to get in. Nitro Joe Jackson of the famed “Scratcher” Super Gas & Comp Teams in Ohio is coming out to help with parking, pairings and anything else I can find him to do along with Ashlee Donhauser. So once you enter the gate, Joe will guide you to the spot for parking. If you have a special preference please let him know, we all know Numidia is un-even in some spots and can be hard to level out your rigs.

On Friday Morning gates will open at 8am. When you arrive you will NOT get your tech card at the gate. There will be 2 large tents set up near the winner’s circle with a banner. Once you are set-up at your pit area you will proceed to those tents to get your race packet. Stock Racer Gina Mocci & her friend Becca Stepanoff will be there to greet you and collect your entry fee at 8am. If you already pre-entered just let them know as we have binders with all the pre-entered names in it (We will make this as easy as possible). Also at the time if anyone would like to enter Micro-Strategies CIC Race or the Quickfuel Stock/SS Combo race you may do so. Tech will be opening at 9am up by the gas pumps with the Free Test & Tune starting at 10am. The Micro-Strategies CIC Race is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 for the 1st qualifier with 1st round at 1:30pm and 2nd round at 2:30. Lanes will be closing at 2:30 for the Test & Tune. Qualifying for the Quickfuel Combo Race will be at 3pm with 1st round hopefully beginning at 4:30pm. I’m still working on getting Friday to be just us but, Friday Night is a big money maker for Numidia and their street night, so I’m still awaiting word on that. If we cannot finish the special events we will move them to Sunday as we have the track all too ourselves that weekend.

Once again on Saturday gates will open at 8am with time shots beginning at 9:30am SHARP. We will be calling Super Street to the lanes at 9:15am. Once the 1st pair of Super Street is in the Water Box the call will be made for the next class which is Super Comp, then Stock, SG, Super Stock so be ready to go. Once Super Stock is finished we let Mike and his crew do a little track prep then go start over with Super Street. 1st round will be scheduled for 1:30pm so be ready to go. It will be random pairings for 1st round and if we have an un-even amount of cars the driver in Stock & Super Stock with the best reaction time in 2nd qualifier will get the bye in the 1st. Once we are finished with the event, the racers BBQ will begin at 7pm down by the end of the grandstands. If anyone would like to bring a side dish feel free and bring it down to the Donhausers trailer before 7pm. The menu will consist of BBQ Chicken, Corn & Hot Dogs. It will be a BYOB as everyone drinks a lot of different beverages so trying to guess will be a mystery.

On Sunday, the Mid Atlantic Super Comp & Street Series will run Race #7 of their series. Non-Members are welcomed to race with us. If there is enough interest we will run a Super Gas & Stock/SS extra race for those who want to do some more racing or you can head on over to Knoebels to have some fun or just go home and enjoy the day. If weather becomes a factor on Saturday we will use Sunday as the date and will have to cancel the MASSA & MASCA events (Lets just hope we don’t have to worry about that).

Sorry once again for the novel but, nobody can say they were not surprised 
