Good news guys!

The event will now be on Oct 27. We understand Mothers Day is a hard day to race on so fortunately we found a spot on October and it should be much better for everyone. Ill update here when the date gets closer. Also, I did not forget about the Super Comp/Gas/Street guys and will try to do something for you as well.

Thank you,

outstanding, that should be a great day

John,

Why move the date because a few people on Class Racer complain? You can't please everyone. I would bet they are not the majority and you may want to ask around a bit more. Could you accommodate everyone and have two events? One in May, one in Oct? I prefer the original May 12th date. You wont see me in October. Ask Dave Ley what the history is for S/SS races at Englishtown late in the year... I don't think we've ever had a race run to completion. One time, we didn't even make it to the burnout box...

In any case, what would the run format be? Will it be one time shot and right into first round like the regular Sunday program?

Good luck this year. I hope you can turn the place around.

Dave

John,

No matter what you do you're not going to make everyone happy with the date. Trust me I've had a few e-mails about the Numidia event being on top of Charlotte National, but there is nothing I can do about it. The schedule this year in D-1 and other Divisions is tough and as Dave Ley and Myself have said "God help if we get r--n".

This is really ridiculous.

Either you can make the race or not.

If a greeting card holiday messes up your racing schedule, try being self employed with no employees! If you want to race you have to work....... 7 days a week!

John H186 · 02-26-2013, 01:09 PM

2/26/13.

We WILL have a Stock/SS combo race on BOTH days. The May 12 date will take place and we will also have one on Oct 27, which Dave Ley will be involved with. If you can make the Mothers Day race we will love to have you guys but if that date wont work, there is the Oct date but both dates will happen.

Thanks guys and lets race and have fun!

The race at the end of October will be hard to finish if the weather is cold. As soon as it gets cold at Etown, all the Fast and Furious wanna be's will be out blowing all their stuff up and we will be sitting in staging lanes waiting to race. I know John for a while now, he is going to to the best he can to get us races. I think there is a better chance of finishing the race on mothers day, and having a safer track then at the end of October. Even if it is not the perfect date the first go around, I'm sure with some attendance we can get more. Getting a combo race back here again is a great start.

What about having it on a Wednesday night when there is not a gamblers race? Sometime in the summer when the attendance is down? Just an idea
