D6 at Mission

[jmcarter]

Any insights on why the race is so lightly attended? No live timing but based on scanning YouTube broadcast it looked like less than a dozen Stockers and certainly less for Super Stock. Loved to run that track years ago (they even had a heck of a Hemi Challenge ~20 years ago) but it appeared some shoddy track prep made for a late start and they still had time to run a lot of special classes plus super class shootouts. Perhaps the immunization requirements to enter Canada held folks back or fuel prices or ? So many great racers in D6, would hate to see them have to travel even further to compete for championships.

There is a northwest classracer association race this weekend at yakima also. Nhra rescheduled the mission race on top of it, bad mistake. To see Q sheet and ladder for yesterday race they are on this site under the association section. This race is also a double header and pays $2000 to win. Gary Gandee won yesterday

Unfortunately it got rescheduled to the September date that conflicted with the NWCR event in Yakima which paids out more money and no HP penalties.
Sorensen went 1.38 under at G weight at Yakima. Thats 10.62
In a 255 /280 HP 69 Combo!!!

Perhaps the association races do have some appeal beyond the Wally. Pulling over Snoqualmie Pass to race in the dust bowl would cause me pause but money talks. Think Paul Wong was doing some announcing at Mission perhaps he’ll chime in as well.

I think you better check your Wongs. Steve Wong is the Div 6 announcer.

Thanks Bob, thought it odd that Paul was up there but the man does wander you know LOL

Ok, I give up. Who won at Mission? If the divisions insist on using FB exclusively to share info then they should use it.

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.

Wow !!! I had the extreme pleasure of seeing Paul at Indy last week. He sure covers a lot of ground for a man that turned 50 .(according to good ole Captain Jack) I have been anxiously awaiting Paul’s interview with Bobby Fazio from INDY ….

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