Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
D1 put a post out of a tentative schedule for the Dutch classic. Oct 23 to 26th on Facebook. I'm sure a more official flyer will come out shortly. Just wanted to post for those not on Facebook and want to plan early.
Wed record runs ( test and tune?) Thursday Qualifying/Time runs Friday Class Saturday 1st round with plan to complete race Sunday is open to allow for weather. There are people asking questions, and am not sure there will be any changes because of that.

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
"Sunday Sunday Sunday" has all but turned into Saturday Saturday Saturday and now we have to start on Wednesday Wednesday Wednesday...if you want to set a record. Starting races a day earlier to finish them a day earlier in case it rains doesn't sit well with me but maybe there's more to it. Staff still has to be paid and non-retired racers have to take off an extra day, just in case it rains. The Dutch used to be time runs/record runs Thursday and Friday, Class on Saturday, Eliminations on Sunday.

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
Can a racer arrive on Friday morning and use first round of class for their time shot?

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
That question was asked on Facebook and they said, because class goes off a traditional ladder, you need to make at least 1 qualifying run on Thursday to be able to run class, just like the baby gators.

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
Not going to lie but I used to LOVE the Dutch, one of my favorite events to attend each year but over the past few years that love has gone away. I really wish they would just make the Dutch a D1 points race, the opens are not existent for us anymore in the US unless you race in Canada, making it a D1 race would prevent some of us having to go to Rockingham or STL to pick up grade points, replace rounds for those chasing and such.

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
So what you?re saying is I need to take an additional day off from work to make one time shot on Thursday so I can run class that I could care less about so I can race on Saturday?

With Stock and Super Stock Class being run as scheduled, I am assuming the Hemi Challenge will run as scheduled.
