"Live" from the PC Richards Dutch Classic

Friday mid day super stockers.

Friday 2nd qualifying session for the stockers.

[Dave Casey]

We got started late yesterday because of the drizzle, it was probably 12 or 12:30. It cleared up as the day went on and we saw the moon last night. I think there were 52 Super Stockers and 56 stockers. Stock is led by Dennis Chapman at -1.21 and Steve Smyth is 2nd at - 1.15 under

Top Stock was led by Scott Gove, I believe that there were 5 cars, Gove,Morgan, Martin, Richards, and Gyorke. In the first rd Gove singled , I think it was Morgan over Richards and Gyorke over Martin. I was listening, not watching, so correct me if I got something wrong. The fastest time I heard was a 9.92 I think. I don't know past the 1st rd, but will try to get better results.

The Hemi cars had 5 also I believe, seems like Hess and Daniels were constantly going 8.41 or 8.42. They have class today .

Today is class for all of us too, weather looks good, but honestly myself and many wish this race was in October, some how 80-85 degree days and the Dutch Classic don't go together.

Hi kids- Well here's the skinny -got in early evening yesterday and managed to get in the cleanups - track was OK but it just doesn't feel like the Classic - hot and muggy for sure .Many of you feel that the race should be back in October and I fully agree .

Here's an eye opener - walked in to the teardown barn and guess what I saw - dust and two officials with nothing to do .Not a single car or racer .I realize you can't bring back the old days but the powers that be can you fix this - many of us would like some of the tradition of the " Pennsylvania Dutch Classic " to be brought back .

On another note - racing is racing - some of us felt like 1st graders today when everyone who was alone in their class got a trophy just for showing up and going down the track .At least Combo racing was better than nothing - they should bring it back .

Enough of my rant for today - got a bunch of photos from today to be posted later ....

Good morning - After speaking with Director Mohn I'm glad to report he has made some changes for the 2022 "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic" held at Maple Grove Dragway .

1) We will be back to a late October date .
2)Single cars in Stock and SuperStock classes will run for a Combo win .

We miss you too, Jeff!

Very hot and humid today. Most slowed 2-3 hun from yesterday. There were some surprises in the class runoffs and several incidents of faster cars redlighting.

Oh yeah, the Shady Maple was awesome - as usual.

Very entertaining final round!
