"Live" from the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout by Autometer

SSDA Hemi · 09-15-2013, 11:11 AM

Joe, you have a point there... The super comp and super gas cars earns points at Numidia towards the MASCA, and MASGA series races respectively. We finish up the points series for the ECSSSA race in two weeks at Atco. Next year maybe Rob could work with Dave Ley and have one or both of the final points days up at Numidia. Just a thought...

I dont think that would hurt the car count and like it or not, points series make it interesting. Maybe even invite the ASRA guys down for a battle between North East Stock/SuperStock series, with points for their respective associations...

And I do applaud Rob for his efforts. Cant wait to see RobzNeedForSpeed videos of the event.

I couldn't have said it any better than Joe Zoom. Had a great time and can't thank the people and sponsors enough. I can only believe we have a lot of primadonas in Div. 1. I know some were at Charlotte chasing championships but where were the rest of you?

I have been planning this race since it was announced, two weeks ago I went to Numidia to test and make sure I was ready but had fuel pressure problems and on the 3rd pass broke the trans front pump and got a flat in one of the slicks. I'll be using the A and A Trans 4340 pump this time and figured I should put in the trans sheild at the same time. A fuel cell and change in regulator arrangement should cure the fuel problem. Lack of time and about 800 for parts needed, forced me to stay home, I was depressed all day Fri and Sat, knowing I missed the boat. Other than the FP problem and the 3900 DA the car ran quite well considering how long it's been sitting. I'll be out in a few weeks again, hopefully with no problems this time.

Hey Paul at least you tried. Hope you make the Dutch.

****just shaking my head****, but I really thank everybody that entered the event to make it a really nice weekend for myself seeing all my d1 friends. That's all I'll say.

Thanks also to DragRaceResults for paying contingency! Just buying a couple of stickers over the winter, got to cash in several times this year. Great deal!

Numidia is kind of my second home, as I grew up in central PA. Beaver Springs is my home track, but Team Beaver used to invade Numidia whenever our schedule allowed.

Great to have mom and dad with me!

I just wanted to come on here and say "Thanks" to all the racers who came out and supported the event and worked with me when we saw that the car count wasn't looking too good and we made it into a combo event. I spoke with a lot of racers over the weekend about how we could improve the event if we decided to do another one in 2014 and I got a lot of good feedback. I guess between Charlotte, MIR having the Stick Shift Nationals and the Hot Rod Reunion event at Epping it was just bad timing to try and draw a lot cars for the event. I do applaud some of the racers who blew stuff up Friday and did everything in their power to piece it back together so they could race on Saturday. Temps were a little cold but, we were done all 3 days no later then 6pm with the winners crowned. A big hats off to Mike Summers and the Numidia crew for an awesome track and Keith Hildebrant from Maple Grove who worked the waterbox over the weekend and did track prep! A big thanks to Nitro Joe who came out from Ohio to help keep me sane and Mike Bassin who did the announcing over the 2 days. Also Gina "Cupcake" Mocci for helping with registration and Rob Jackson's wife Rose for helping out Gina at the booth. Also the Donhausers and the crew from the Moose who put on an excellent BBQ. Thank you all for the support. I'm going to weigh out the options for 2014 and see where is takes me. I'd love to work with Dave Ley and the ASRA guys with a shoot out Friday Night "ECSSA vs. ASRA who's the best on the northeast?"

Once again thanks to all the racers for their support at this event along with the sponsors help! I couldn't do it without any of you guys!!
