D6 at Mission - Page 2

djohnstone · 09-12-2022, 11:44 AM

Here is the report from Mission;

13 stockers, 9 super stockers....very light also in other LODRS classes. The border is still an issue due to VAX requirements.

No NHRA trailer, but a couple representatives. Needed way more IMO. Bruce Flodin and I had a heads up 1st round and they were checking for dial ins.....

On top of the LODRS program, they ran just about every bracket class they could come up with and we also dealt with smoky skies and rain (what's a divisional at Mission without rain) before Sunday eliminations.

I have attached the final results.

Cheers

Thanks for the info Derrick. Who won stock and s/s?? Didn't see that on your sheets.

Where are you getting 'dustbowl'? Every car was pitted on asphalt, no issue with this track that I am aware of?

D6 Mission Winners...Ed Hauter over Bill Bushmaker in STK Sean Cour over Jody Lang SS Ralph Van Paepeghem over Ryan Warter in Comp

You can see the race on Lordco TV MRP You Tube....it was televised live ...

Just to follow up on the last weekend, this was an absolute cluster as far as NHRA rescheduling Mission for this weekend. Between the NW class racer dbl header and the Bremerton race already having the the 10 & 11 Sept weekend allocated, what did they think was going to happen? There were even a few racers that went to Earlville. Any time racers have 3 options, no one is going to win and in the end, no one did. I sort of flipped a coin and went to Yakima but I certainly would have gone to both races if they had not conflicted. As far as I am concerned, this is NHRA's fault more than anything. One last thing, my RU at the combo race paid better than winning at a divisional, maybe NHRA should take that into consideration as well. Gande won $4000 for the weekend, seems like he made the best choice.

Thanks Brian for the info. When I last looked at the You Tube coverage it didn't show the finals, probably does now. Thanks again for the info and see you soon.

Jim is right. I didn't see a dustbowl either.

And apparently there was some sort of confusion in the Comp Final.Ryan Warter was declared the winner over Ralph Van Paepeghem after a tower review of the timing system data.

The whole weekend was really a cluster. Parking was first come first serve, zero direction. No nhra guys running the starting line, staging lanes or tower. We ended up getting the win in comp. They had it set as a dial in, so we went further under the index but gave Ralph the win since we “broke out” by more, but showing we got there first. Went to the tower to get the check and they said they were only doing payment for bracket classes and didn’t know anything about Lucas payout. It’s almost like the track didn’t want the race. Hopefully things turn around, always loved Mission.

Appreciate the reports. Sounds like neither D6 or Mission wanted a divisional race. Woodburn and Mission we’re always my favorite tracks and hate to see either not succeed and make money. My “dust bowl” comment about Yakima was based on multiple visits but all over 15 years ago so probably not fair but know it can get pretty windy over there. Kudos to those making the association a viable option.

I have lived in Yakima since 74 and been going to Renegade almost as long. The Goathead problem of years ago is now under control. A LOT of gravel has been put down and asphalt rows now line the pits 4 - 5 rows deep almost to the finish line with room (cleaned up) to run the pits to the end of the track. The wind is more an issue north of here in Ellensburg. Although 1 of the 1st years we had a combo here there was a strong wind that came through and it got dusty. But those are rare.

I have raced at Spokane and Seattle scattered fèw times. What I remember of Spokane was the asphalt starting line. Times change.
