This is an amazingly low turnout for a d1 race. I wonder if the $170 price tag is the straw that broke the camel's back. It could also have something to do with the weather forcast.

div 1 has been paying $170 for 2 years already

Also might have something to do with the distance some people have to traval to get there.

An east coast race with no rain delay!
I don't think so! LOL!

Ok well at least you have a built in rain delay. Last week I think there was a race where 5 time runs were given on Saturday, with a 80% chance of rain Sunday and NOONE made the call to run the race Saturday. Nice Job.

Lets see over ten hours towing home. Getting stuck from just north of Richmond in traffic all the way up to D.C is not fun. Fighting the rain and paying 250 in fuel for the whole trip plus our "170". Man I would rather try and figure out why the whole world is learning English while our country is speaking Spanish. **** I am doing that!!! Not speaking spanish that is..

While the racing world is buzzing about the fantastic air at Boise we here at VMP just have regular stuff and I for one am glad even the Sun is bright this morning and its not raining ( yet ? ) .This morning we'll move at a very aggressive pace with one shot for everyone and then on into eliminations and hopefully finish tonight .

With forty-three Stockers in attendance my take is between the sour economy and terrible weekend weather forecast racers just passed on coming here and stayed close to home .On the other hand could this be a preview of this season's racing in Division one and others -- we'll see . I really don't believe its the $170 entry fee .

Enough about racing lets talk food and suds -- last night I had some terrific turkey -- it was one of "Uncle Buck's" barbequed jobs and from now on our "Thanksgiving " bird will be number two -- his is just that good ! ! And don't even try to keep up with those super class guys ( and some gals ) in the adult beverage department -- they must all have hollow limbs as it seemed that they didn't even get up to pee .
Speaking of weather -- its 73 degrees 63% humidity 29.67 barometer --1846 DA already.I've got to stop writing about the sunshine here -- for whatever reason its getting dark -- very ,very dark ! Later.........
