Rescheduled Atco Divisional

Dave Steltz · 06-23-2009, 02:20 PM

My .02...I didnt go cause like Pete said I just spent a week sitting in the rain at E Town, and the forecast was really bad...

I WAS planning to go to the October race, but with this reschedule..now I'll have to get there thursday or else I'll have to pit over at the round track or down the return road, then sit there all day friday with nothing to do, maybe they will finish the race friday, maybe not...then sometime Saturday (probably like 5 oclock for Super Gas) start racing..

No thanks...

I can see both sides of the open/not open fields, but what if you were planning on showing up saturday (like many do) and because it rained you didnt go, and now you can't play...doesnt make sense, but when does NHRA make sense...

I cant wait to see what the pit situation will be in Oct. ...Word is that the Alcohol cars will be there to finish, leaving the Top Class racers to go where???. ...... Would'nt suprise me to see Top dropped from the Oct race,since the schedule on the D1 web site calls for race 1 to complete on Fri. after 1 time run, and race 2's elim to start after 1 time run on Sat. ...Not much time left in that schedule for Top qualifying runs .......Tom

I "heard" that the alcohol cars will finish the June race on the Sunday (of the October race). I also "heard" that they were asked (or will be asked) to arrive AFTER 4 or 5pm that Saturday night for pit space reasons. They are hoping some pavement will open up after first round of the 2nd race. There will be a max of 15 alcohol cars ... and I would bet a couple won't show.

Not the facts, just rumors. Giddy up.

I heard (and this was from a TAD driver) was Sunday of Lebanon Valley will be the race since they will already be there. Seems like a good idea to me (but then again I'm gonna be laying on a beach in Wildwood that weekend so I have no idea if that's a good idea to people that actually go to that race :P ).
