I've never been to Epping nor raced a Divisional/National event.

But I'm curious about the discussion about the Epping event. How does it compare to Atco in parking(racers & spectators), amenities, racer experience, access to get to the track,..

Atco can't host a national event due to acreage, amenities and most of all, access. Etown could get people off the two lane road in a somewhat timely fashion because of size of property. Just trying to compare the tracks. Atco has huge backups for smaller events, though an NHRA national would have more localPolice/County/State involmemt.

Not that it matters much coming from me, but people dropping out for weather is a very valid reason in my opinion. They saved a decent amount of dead dinosaurs . I think Stock, S/ST & S/Comp got first round in. If I entered any class not completing 1st round, it's money in the bank.

I wouldn't want the event to be dropped. It gives the NE racers an event in their own backyard.

And it's hard to think of a process to replace racers not attending at the last moment.

I had another reason to log in and thought I'd post my worthless reply.
Have a Great Day!
