Question about the Dutch

Mike Carr · 10-06-2013, 08:38 PM

Expect close to two hundred (yes 200) or even more. When I used to race a few years ago, Stock sometimes had 150 cars (eight round race, since it is all-run first round). I wouldn't expect 150 Stockers this year, but with dry weather for all, and cool air for record seekers, 120 or so is not out of the question and maybe 80-90 S/S or more.

Usually if you're a fan of Stock & Super Stock this is the race to go too. Like Mike said about 150 cars. The Hemi shootout is hit or miss sometimes, depends on who has all their stuff together but, mostly about 10 to 12 cars, sometimes 16. This is kind of the last hooray for everyone to set personal bests and records. Sometimes just Stock outnumbers all the Dot 90 classes. The Dutch doesn't really draw a lot of them but, it is always cool because there is guys who break out their stuff to make the last race of the season.

It's the best Stock/SS show you'll ever see, make sure you are there both Friday and Saturday EARLY to get it all in.

Ditto to what all others have said. It just doesnt get any better than the Dutch for S/SS. Great track, gorgeous setting, leaves changing, mineshaft air, and many, many racers set on kill and flying, with plenty of records set. It is absolutely the best race I have ever been to, by a comfortable margin. Bring your warm clothes for the evenings, and even the day sometimes !

Another Bonus Feature About The Dutch Is: S & SS Class Eliminations.

I know Stock Class Runs on Friday, & SS Runs Class On Sat.

A Must See Event.

It's a National Open (I think) so the AHFS stays home. You can go as fast as you want.
