cant make it this year, really sucks as we had a blast last year. Looking back, it was our favorite race of the year. Didn't do very well in the CIC race, but it was the most fun of the weekend!...that and coming second in the million car open comp bracket race friday night! Good luck to all that are headed there, and to those on the fence...GET OFF and go. it is a great time.

Well I got to the track about 10am this morning and started setting up the banners and getting things set-up. Big Mike Summers has the track prepped and I heard that their will be a special water box helped this weekend in Keith H. From Maple Grove.

Joe Jackson and I have worked hard this morning and has been a huge help. We are currently in the motorhome as I think toto and the wizard of oz just landed with a monsoon just hit the track! If you are traveling up the Lehigh Tunnel has an accident and speaking from a few people looks like they have been sitting for over 2 hours. So beware!

Rob, was planning on getting in Friday around 2pm for the Micro stk/ss race that evening.

Seems the time has changed to the afternoon? Let me know, if the race is earlier I will come sat am.

Looking forward to some great racing.

Joe,

The CIC race is to start at 12:30 for 1st time shot. The combo race should start around 3pm. I was going to start later but, with temps scheduled to be in the mid-40's that I wanted to start early.

Storms rolled through Pittsburgh a few hours ago and it's georgeous now
Fronts are moving west to east and there is usually around an 8 hour time from the burgh to eastern pa, so you might get some more downpours tonight, but it will be beautiful by morning
See you all tomorrow.

Just like the last time I was out at Numidia in July......the Kansas like storm you/we got hit with out there rumbled it's way here to my home in NJ about 120 miles east....

My power is out and has been for at least an hour now and thanks to my generator I have lights......water....TV and internet....but not much else....good thing I know someone in the generator business who can make this all work.......ME....

I would rather be at Numidia......Hope you have a good turnout and a great race Rob.....

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

Yes it is Day #1 of the Nitroplate Stock/SS shootout presented by Autometer here at Numidia. Had about 25-30 rigs roll in last night and it was a mix of .90 cars and Stk/SS. Parking may become a small issue as many more are scheduled to come in this morning at 8am but, Nitro Joe is on it and will have it under control. If we have too we will park on the other side as they finished up the paving job of the return road yesterday. So we look forward to a great day of racing! Gates open at 8am with test and tune to start around 10am. Had a small rain shower at 1am so track drying will take just a little bit longer but, Mike and Keith will have the track in tip top shape!

I will try to post pics throughout the day but, the Internet is a little slow being up in the mountains!

Well we ran the Quickfuel Stock/SS combo race earlier today. We ran the free test and tune till about 2:45 before starting the shootout. The winners today were:

Ryan Horansky over Jeff Tripp
Semis: Brittany Boltz

Congrats to everyone!
