East Coast S/S Association needs to head south and west. The tolls alone when towing a trailer going to N.J. and Island will bankrupt you not to mention the traffic. C.C., MG, is OK. Atco is a great track and class racer friendly so its worth the tolls and trip.

I agree with you X-Tech Man, we need to go south and west. There are alot of racers that wont make the trip to NJ for the combos. The tolls are killers also. I do support the East Coast Stock/Super Stock Association and appreciate everything Dave has done for the local guys, I just feel like it could be much bigger and would love to see these classes get TV time and some media coverage. If the payout at these combos are decent the travel cost wouldn't be as hard to swallow. Let's face it, we do this because we love the sport and hanging out with our friends, but if we have a chance to win $5000 while doing it......sweet!

$5,000 Races would be great.

How 'bout trying to promote a Stock Elim. North vs South Big Bracket Race.

You can do Super Stock seperate North vs South Also....

I have some ideas as to who runs who each round too.....

Thx

I am all about it Pete! I know I can easily set the North/South clash up! It would be fun and can you imagine the amount of beer consumed!

Mike,.
I remember those races. I raced at some of those in the bracket classes when you guys ran at Quaker City. I would like to see them come back. I have a feeling that contigency is going to bad in 09 and races like these that you are talking about might be the way to go. Keep us posted.

I'm sure Beaver Bob @ Beaver Springs Dragway would be interested in your perposal.

Sunday night, I e-mailed the following tracks: Norwalk, Dragway 42, Thompson, Quaker City, Pittsburgh, Beaver Springs, Numidia and Quarter Aces. Norwalk was booked full for '09. Numidia and Pittsburgh have showed interest in having us (waiting on a date(s). Have heard nothing from anyone else. Hagerstown will still have it's annual Lee Sherman race. Date TBA, either Oct 31-Nov 1 or Nov 7-8. Will wait to see if/when Dave Ley has an ECSSSA event in E-town in the fall, to avoid a date conflict. Might have a summer race also at Hagerstown if none of the other tracks are interested. Will keep you all posted.

Beaver Bob was flying to Milwaukee to pick up a car he accidentally won on eBay. LOL I'm sure he'll get back to you when he returns.
