Rob, this is going to be a tough decision to make no matter what you decide some people will not agree with it,,,, I for one will be going to Silver Dollar then to bring my stuff to Florida for winter I will not be bringing rig back till sometime in April... No matter what happens I applaude you for your efforts...............

Good Morning Fellow Racers,
Well once again I am the barer of bad news. Due to the great communication of the NHRA crew and having most of you drag everything to Maple Grove…opps I mean the VF Outlet Parking Lots this past week only for them to tell you that you will not race this week and must wait till the weekend of Oct 7th & 8th I must once again reschedule the .90 Nationals. For some of you this is a great relief as some of you were not able to make the rescheduled date of October 8th.

Now as I’ve posted online I’m only a small fish in a very big pond and no matter what I decide to do next weekend I personally cannot compete against NHRA. Some of you asked to keep the race as is and try to run up against the Keystones but, I think that would be public suicide for me to even attempt and I think I would have supporters but, more or less I would have lost my *** on this race. The next option thrown out there was to have the event on the Sunday, October 9th (The Rain date of the Keystones) but, as we can see already with my track record I’m 0-2 against Mother Nature so I won’t attempt to do it that day only to have the possibility of a rain-out on Saturday and the Keystones be moved to Sunday. The following weekend is the Dutch and the Virginia IHRA Event so I won’t attempt to put you guys up against that event because I know a lot of you enjoy the Dutch Classic. Now Numidia does have 1 more weekend of racing left on the 21st to 23rd before they close up shop for the winter time. The only concern I have with that is the weather because it’s going to be highs of low 60’s / mid-50’s and most of you have already bagged in the season after the Keystones & Dutch.

So that leads me to my decision and it’s a tough one to make but, the .90 Nationals will be rescheduled once again until 2012. Now I don’t have a date as of yet due to the divisional schedules not being released but, I’m going to shoot for somewhere in Early May / June depending on what things get scheduled in NHRA Land along with MASGA & MASCA Races. This way Knoebels Park is open for everyone and their family’s. I also will be able to get with Bob and put together a huge race for all the .90 Racers and if Lee & Brian are up for it we can throw in the Stk / SS Guys also. If you would like your money back if you pre-paid already please let me know and I will send you out a check with the refund. If not the money will still be good for the 2012 race. I thank you for all the support in this race and I hope we can kick things off in style in 2012. Look for updates soon and see most of you at Maple Grove next weekend and at the Dutch. If you see someone that was planning on coming to the event and is not great with their computer please pass the word to them!!!!

Thanks as always!

Hey Rob,

You have made a very sound and wise decision.. we all appreciate your hard work, but nothing could justify you taking a financial hit in this economy..

The 2012 .90's Nationals will be a great event, I just know it.. you can now take a little time to do the fine tuning you were thinking about..

Numidia is a great facility and the turn-out will be great.. HELL, I'll even come..

Agree with you guys - Rob is a die hard and it is not worth him losing his shirt on this. Like Charlie, Hell - we will even show up!
