Congrats to all the winners and all that participated in this excellent event. Everyone drove well, some killer packages were almost the norm in many of the match ups. A big thanks to Rob Keister for having me back this year. Also the Dimino family and all of their staff were excellent to work with as always, the track worked both days as many of the racers ran their numbers regularly. This was certainly a fun event, to bad it wasn't a bit better attended. A special thanks to the Bender family, Bob, Penny and Zack as they had coffee for me both mornings and a very fine spagetti dinner on Friday night. These are special people who have FUN any time they are racing. I hope to see them and many others at our Lee Sherman Memorial Stock / Super Stock event on Nov. 2 & 3 at Mason Dixon Dragway in Hagerstown Md. Good luck to all at the MG National Event and at the Dutch. Race safe, see you all again soon.

How many S/SS cars are in the tri state area? How is it possible that the participation at Numidia was as low as it was ? Maybe because those valuable NHRA pts. arent awarded? Guys will travel half way around the country to race at an event then bitch because they haven't received there contigency $$.These guys promote a race where the winner is taken home $3000 cash in your pocket and no one shows. Does it make sense to go to races where your spending more to participate then you can win?Maybe if the winner was given a Wally instead of Cash $$ the house would have been packed?I would like to thank all involved for promoting the race and HOPE some how there will be more like it in the future.

Joe, you have a point there... The super comp and super gas cars earns points at Numidia towards the MASCA, and MASGA series races respectively. We finish up the points series for the ECSSSA race in two weeks at Atco. Next year maybe Rob could work with Dave Ley and have one or both of the final points days up at Numidia. Just a thought...

I dont think that would hurt the car count and like it or not, points series make it interesting. Maybe even invite the ASRA guys down for a battle between North East Stock/SuperStock series, with points for their respective associations...

And I do applaud Rob for his efforts. Cant wait to see RobzNeedForSpeed videos of the event.

Re: Low turnout, the Hot Rod Union at Epping and the Charlotte National event siphoned off some cars.....I was there for the combo in the hills and with two cars last year, but opted to support the local track with their first hot rod union....Numidia is a great track though, wish the timing had worked for me......I can't speak for others who may have had Numidia track specific issues that opted them to not attend.....
