Re: Dutch classic
Skills, the Dutch Classic used to be for Comp.,Super Stock,Stock,Super Street,Super Gas, and Super Comp. The track runs class eliminations for Stock on Friday, class eliminations for Super Stock on Saturday. They added the Hemi Shootout on Saturday several years ago. Then they added Top Dragster and Top Sportsman. I have been running the Dutch since 1996 in Stock, and we have always run first round on Saturday. We, the index racers have not added any new classes to this race. This used to be the sportsman race to be at in the eastern part of the U.S. When the track added other than index racers to the program, they also added an extra day. Our time trials and record runs start on Thursday. The track may host a test&tune on Wednesday. Hope this clears up any questions on why eliminations start on Saturday.

Re: Dutch classic
John I didnt mean the stock/super stock guys, I was taking about the 11.50,10 and 8.50 index classes. Believe me I would watch as many sportsmen classes I could. Hell I started watching Australian Drag racing to watch some of the sportsmen classes they show. Well good luck and see you at the Dutch.

Re: Dutch classic
When I lived up north I always went to "The Dutch". Ya, more often than not you had some weather, but, you could always haul a## there. That's what it was all about!- JB-

Re: Dutch classic
For obvious reasons, Indy is the only race that I enjoy more than the Dutch. Hopefully we will have great weather, record setting E.T.s, and good racing. I will see you bright and early on Oct. 9!
