Ed,
Not here to have an argument, Kyle did a great job of driving...Congrats to you both on a great job. If you look at the entry list out of the 130 cars that were entered in the .90 classes only 28 were below New York and most were NJ & PA out of that 28. I’m not sure what Stock & SS had as far as demographics go. I went to Epping 4 years ago and was told when they got the National Event that within a few years a new tower and expansion was to be on the map to accommodate the National because of the great crowds they saw in the first couple of years. The back to back was just an idea because honestly as a promoter that works around the D1 schedule, 2020 is going to be interesting to say the least in Sept / Oct but, when you think about it everyone does the Lebanon Valley trip then hits Epping for two weekends in a row, might as well make it one trip as long as your stuff can stay there. It was just a thought to maybe increase car counts and save on the trip. Numidia is just a race that everyone will always make an excuse for not showing up, Bob could put up a $50,000 to win .90 race and probably wouldn’t get half the cars. Either way, we all have our thoughts and all wish E-Town was around still...heck, what would happen if we still had Cayuga and Sanair on the schedule...lol.
