James didn't they say no way roller rockers would ever happen, let alone solid lifters for hydraulics, ect.. About the workers I get it. They need to try and hire more and I know its about money. Not that I want to see an increase in entrance fee's but I'd be willing to pay $10 more entrance fee per race on a double race weekend. I'll save a lot more on fuel than that. Duane you have to deal with weather no matter if it's one race or two. It might make it easier with two because you have more days to fit it all in. I'm sure it would increase car counts and help make it more profitable for the tracks. Maybe don't do it to all the races but at least do most of them. BP

Would suspect Famosa will have a big turnout this weekend for their double. Has to be a great deal of pent up demand, especially with the Vegas and Pomona early fills. The doubles make a lot of sense with such long tows and high(er) fuel prices in the West. Was a bit surprised Woodburn didn’t get even more for their double.

We haven't raced in Bakersfield for a divisional for years. I need to remember how to get there. With stock class probably Thursday my guess and the double. It should be fun. The weather looks great. Maybe a little warm at peak temps. A lot of point chases going on.

I think Woodburn would have gotten more participation if they had announced it as a double right from the beginning. For a lot of people, we set our race/vacation schedules at the beginning of the year. After that, its hard to adjust. |

Double Divisionals, especially with large car counts, are difficult (almost impossible) to complete in 4-days.
As a racer, you better plan to arrive by Wednesday and be committed to stay until Monday. If 4-day doubles become the norm, I think both races need to be one (1) qualifying run and race in order to complete the races in a reasonable timeframe. Nick |

If we are going to only have one run and into eliminations, the test and
tune days will be very populated. Given that, they should be reduced to 50.00, instead of 100.00, as we won't get many runs as a result. J.R. |

I think every race should have two Qualifying runs. If you have a problem on Q1 and don’t get in the field one more chance is still available. Sunday’s St Louis race was one and done for qualifying and some good teams had a problem and did not get to race.
The only way we got to race on Sunday was to switch from Stock to Super Stock. We could not run fast enough to qualify in the top 128 in Stock. The cool track temps in the night may have contributed to the accidents on the track that caused a stoppage of racing. We had a good time seeing our friends and racing. Let’s do it again |
