Dan Fletcher.... The Norwalk Cancellation

[BOB KIRKBRIDE]

OOOPS Cheap was the wrong word as far as the Baders go Yes, I was there once and as a retired paving and grading contractor I DO know what it is like dealing with different types of soil and wetness and high water table. We had that at the old Fremont drag strip in California. I got into racing when my uncle's paving and grading company paved the old Half Moon Bay Drag strip (in 1959) that was right on the coast. No water problems there, just not much shut off(!!) area So I'm old and that comment was ill advised but I think that base rock of inch and a half max or sub base two and a half inch max in those problem sportsman parking areas sure (hopefully) would have maybe made sportsman racing part of the show. SORRY, sincerely for the dumb comment! Please forgive me, guess I have been spoiled living in Las Vegas and racing here and a lot of other reasonably close tracks like Bakersfield and Phoenix with my Ford Thunderbolt N/SS in the twilight of my fun in my favorite sport I didn't mean to stir up a Hornet's nest that my dumb comment did, but us old farts sometimes let out the clutch in the wrong gear! LOL Sorry for fuffeling but I deserved to be taken to the woodshed for that comment. The sportsman racers were sure missed.

Sportsman dates announced, go there straight from Indy....interesting if they bump up the quota since the announcement indicates new entries accepted and it still shows full. Assuming there may be some withdrawals based on the new dates. In any case this will work out for many.

Just tried to enter and site said category is full at 60. If NHRA would open the category we could have one heck of a race.
