[Joe DeMarzo]

What is the starting point or index we use and when does it change, kind of stu'nood on cic stuff

Joe,

Don't feel like the middle child on this! Just think of it as Angelo said "Comp Racing for Stock / Super Stock Racers". Right now the trigger will prob be .70 under the the pre 2011/IHRA indexes...just like Pat does down at No Problem Raceway for the Sportsnationals. I'll have all the rest of the info by the end of this week, just waiting to hear from Bob D on a few things.

Here is the logo for the event...Thanks to Jeff Serra over at In motion Solutions for the great artwork! Figured I'd go with a Cobra Jet...it was only fitting with the sponsor...lol!

To Joe D. and all you other racers this and the Dutch are the two best races of the year,shame on you guys who miss out. Bryan and I ran the CIC race last year and had a ball, made about 15 runs between Friday and Saturday.

Rob, called the Hampton Inn today and they had no idea about the racers discount, room was quoted 140$ a Night with AAA or AARP.

This is just an FYI.

Hey Joe,

I've heard this from a few people. When you call them refer to the Uncle Buck 90 Nationals. If you have any issues ask for Tara Thomas, she is the girl I've been dealing with on this discount. For any other racers who need a hotel room, you have till the 24th to book it.

Here is the details on the Micro- Strategies CIC Throwdown at Numidia. This will be a Stock vs. Stock & SS vs. SS event that will be held on Friday afternoon and be separated until laddered at 8 cars or fewer remaining in the race. Combined ladder parings will be qualified on reaction times of prior round, adjusted for contestants that may have had a random bye run. This is a no-breakout, first-to-the-finish-line race. First round "dial-in" is your class index. Subsequent rounds are adjusted for e-t greater than .60 under dial-in (including opponent red light start, just like Comp Eliminator). Entry fee will be $70.00 for this event and qualifying will being at 12:30pm on Friday Afternoon to allow drivers who want to enter the Quickfuel Stock/SS Shootout on Friday Night. All drivers will get 1 time shot and then we will start 1st round at 1:30pm. At last year’s event Duncannon, Pa resident Bryan Worner took down Angelo Di Tocco in the special event within an event. If weather becomes an issue on Friday the Micro Strategies CIC Throwdown at Numidia & Quickfuel Combo Stock/SS Shootout will be moved to Sunday Morning along with the Comp Cams Shootouts.

Once the dust has settled on Friday & Saturday and the Champions are crowned all the winners in each class will receive the "Happy Gilmore" Check as they like to call it. This Check is great to hang in your trailer to show the fellow racers and spectators of your accomplishments. 2 weeks from today....we start to park cars!!!

A big THANKS to Super Street Racer Kelli Barbato & Super Comp Racer Bill Hardifer for helping put together over 300 goodie bags last night at Bills House. I know everyone is saying "Ugh...Goodie Bags" but, these bags are filled with cool things including a Edelbrock 75th anniversary hat, a Nitroplate Hat, T-Shirt or Koozie, Weiseco Piston Key Chain plus your Nitroplate Stock/SS Participant decals and important information that is always asked around the track..."Whats the radio Station?", "Anyone have a schedule?", "When's the BBQ?" plus that important Tech Card to go racing!

As we all know, this event is being held along with the Uncle Buck Memorial 90 Nationals. For those of you who were wondering why this event is named the "Uncle Buck" Memorial 90 Nationals. Here is a short article that the famous Bob Frey did for Drag Race Central after his passing last April. I know a lot of Stock & Super Stock racers were friends with him including John Leach, Bunk Miller and a lot more. If you never did meet him I'm sure you have seen Ronnie at the track at some point during your weekend. At the event we will have a donation box set-up for anyone who would like to donate to Pancan (Pancreatic Cancer) to fight this nasty form of cancer. Last year we raised over $700.00 that was sent to the organization in Bucks Name. For every $5.00 that is donated this year your name will be placed into a box and a random name will be drawn on Saturday Night for a FREE entry into the 2014 event!

What to expect and where to go when you enter the Nitroplate Stock/SS Shootout!

First off, anyone attending the Lucas Oil event being held at Englishtown this upcoming weekend and would like to bring their stuff to Numidia following the event the gates will be open till 6pm on Sunday. If you are going to be any later please call the track line (570-799-5090 / 570-799-5091). I can’t tell you if anyone will be there or not but, call first before you tow out there and you can't get in. I will not be at the track till Wed or Thursday of next week so I cannot help out in anyway. Once you enter the gates for the event on Thursday, you will only pay for any spectators that are with you. A 1 day pass is only $7.00, 2 day pass is $14.00 and a 3 day pass is $21.00. On Thursday all we are doing is parking cars and getting set-up for the event but, someone will be at the gate to collect the spectator cash. Gates will be open starting at 10am till 10pm on Thursday (If you are going to be late please call my Cell phone 856-332-2851 and let me know). The latest I will let cars in that night is 11pm so no 2am calls asking to get in. Nitro Joe Jackson of the famed “Scratcher” Super Gas & Comp Teams in Ohio is coming out to help with parking, pairings and anything else I can find him to do along with Ashlee Donhauser. So once you enter the gate, Joe will guide you to the spot for parking. If you have a special preference please let him know, we all know Numidia is un-even in some spots and can be hard to level out your rigs.

On Friday Morning gates will open at 8am. When you arrive you will NOT get your tech card at the gate. There will be 2 large tents set up near the winner’s circle with a banner. Once you are set-up at your pit area you will proceed to those tents to get your race packet. Stock Racer Gina Mocci & her friend Becca Stepanoff will be there to greet you and collect your entry fee at 8am. If you already pre-entered just let them know as we have binders with all the pre-entered names in it (We will make this as easy as possible). Also at the time if anyone would like to enter Micro-Strategies CIC Race or the Quickfuel Stock/SS Combo race you may do so. Tech will be opening at 9am up by the gas pumps with the Free Test & Tune starting at 10am. The Micro-Strategies CIC Race is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 for the 1st qualifier with 1st round at 1:30pm and 2nd round at 2:30. Lanes will be closing at 2:30 for the Test & Tune. Qualifying for the Quickfuel Combo Race will be at 3pm with 1st round hopefully beginning at 4:30pm. I’m still working on getting Friday to be just us but, Friday Night is a big money maker for Numidia and their street night, so I’m still awaiting word on that. If we cannot finish the special events we will move them to Sunday as we have the track all too ourselves that weekend.

Once again on Saturday gates will open at 8am with time shots beginning at 9:30am SHARP. We will be calling Super Street to the lanes at 9:15am. Once the 1st pair of Super Street is in the Water Box the call will be made for the next class which is Super Comp, then Stock, SG, Super Stock so be ready to go. Once Super Stock is finished we let Mike and his crew do a little track prep then go start over with Super Street. 1st round will be scheduled for 1:30pm so be ready to go. It will be random pairings for 1st round and if we have an un-even amount of cars the driver in Stock & Super Stock with the best reaction time in 2nd qualifier will get the bye in the 1st. Once we are finished with the event, the racers BBQ will begin at 7pm down by the end of the grandstands. If anyone would like to bring a side dish feel free and bring it down to the Donhausers trailer before 7pm. The menu will consist of BBQ Chicken, Corn & Hot Dogs. It will be a BYOB as everyone drinks a lot of different beverages so trying to guess will be a mystery.

On Sunday, the Mid Atlantic Super Comp & Street Series will run Race #7 of their series. Non-Members are welcomed to race with us. If there is enough interest we will run a Super Gas & Stock/SS extra race for those who want to do some more racing or you can head on over to Knoebels to have some fun or just go home and enjoy the day. If weather becomes a factor on Saturday we will use Sunday as the date and will have to cancel the MASSA & MASCA events (Lets just hope we don’t have to worry about that).

Sorry once again for the novel but, nobody can say they were not surprised 
