I wouldn't just assume the fields will be closed - evreyone knows how rumors fly around during bad weather - I don't believe there has been any official word - maybe (hopefully) there will be something of an official nature posted on the D-1 website this week. I think it would make sense to open the fields up to additional entries.What ever happened to scheduling in a rain date?

Ang/Guys

They did announce over the loud speaker this morning....
"that the race was rained out today... will be run on friday of the october atco points meet.... the fields are set ... and so are the ladders".

When Tim Bishop pulled into the pits, Wayne Totaro and I almost went into cardiac arrest! It can't be Tim Bishop, "The Farmer", Mr. John Deere, it can't be.......but it was. Just hope it wont' be another two years before there's another "Farmer" sighting. The Ol' F-Bomber made a good pass in the 2nd session.

Final thoughts for the weekend -- Today being Fathers day a big tip of the hat goes out to the teams that consisted of father /son or daughter that were to race today with us --- John and Wendy Caliendo -- the Linke family - Russ -Doug - Jeanne and Bubba -- Howard and Michael Barsky -- Timmy Worner and his twin sons - Bryan & Bryon --- Al and Allison Smyth -- Sheldon and Michael Allen -- Bud and Greg Rowe -- Phil and Steve Szupka -- Billy and Don Pires ......and the list goes on --opps-- my longtime friend Ed Bednaz is pictured below with his son Todd...if I forgot some its because I'm old -- don't hold it against me .We should be really glad on this day that there is another generation behind us to carry on...........

The ladders are not on DRC. I usually get one, but, I was pitted way up the road. I would be appreciated if someone could post them. Thanks. Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers. Fortunately my father is alive and well at 83.

So if the race is going to be run on friday in oct what do the rest of us do on that day watch after we have paid our money to race are we going to take time runs in between the rounds of racing that wont work,. they should run the race on thursday in all fairness or open the field period

Bryan Worner · 06-21-2009, 06:19 PM

I heard a ladder was posted, but never saw one. It wasn't even posted on DRC!

John Warehime · 06-21-2009, 06:27 PM

I am reasonabley sure that Gloria Ley told me October first, which is a Thursday. I hope the NHRA will post a definate date, with the ladder sheets. Dave Ley will let us know, as soon as he knows, that I am sure of.

I got the ladder sheets from DRAW this morning for Stock & S/S. I hope they scrap it and allow more cars to enter in October. There was so many people missing this weekend.
