Maple Grove Pre Pit parking moved

Tom Goldman · 09-24-2011, 03:41 PM

I just got a call from a few racers who went to Maple Grove to get in line for pit parking on Wed, and they are being turned away and being sent to the Vanity Fair Outlets parking lots in West Reading.
Evidently the spectator parking area where we usualy line up is too soggy to support our race rigs.
More info on which lot to park in when I get it.
Just got a call from Pete Luciano.
They are parking us in line at a VF Outlets parking lot on Park Rd. in West Reading.
You will have to take rt 422 towards Reading and get off at Wyomissing Ave. and take Wyomissing Ave to Park Rd.

We all should just write off this year weather wise!
What a freakin shame!
Can't blame the tracks how can they anticipate such a year of record crappy weather .

Tom - that's not good news - can you get any info on the condition of the pits inside the track?

I'm sure the field is wet. I don't live all that far from the track and while my yard is wet it;s still pretty firm Showers until. Tuesday then the rest of the week looks pretty good. Keep your fingers crossed

Wow, kind of early to be getting there for a race next weekend.

Mickey Whaley · 09-25-2011, 09:36 AM

Just got back from parking , luck number 13!
Mickey no exit #, just follow 422 to the Wyomissing exit,go about 2 blocks to 1st stop light ,turn left ,go 2 blocks, turn left at the Fridays ,the lot is just behind it on the right.
No problem for rigs of any size,wide streets, turns.
I talked to someone who was at the track yesterday, he said it was soggy but was drying ,but slowly.
We need a few days with no rain, Like thats going to happen!!
