Good turnout at Epping

Greg Hill · 09-11-2009, 12:12 PM

54 cars in stock first qualifying pass with e-town the same weekend. It looks like a lot of regular NHRA racers are running up there instead of e-town. I sure wish IHRA had some races close by me. How about Jim Boudreau 1.48 under.

Armstrong 8.82 in SS/BA
Fast at Epping !

Wow... crazy fast. Good to see the good turnout.

-1.40 under gets you HP in IHRA...

How about that...none of those 1.40 under cars are "crate motors" either. So much for only having CM stockers at the top of the sheet.

Tracy,

You can't have crates take the top spots when only two from Canada show up... As we discussed its a long way up their... I am glad to see the NHRA guys came out in force and supported NED... Wish I could have made the trip, good luck to all the racers ... Hopefully they don't get too much rain tomorrow, Sunday looks good...

Tracy, it's over 700 miles just from Richmond, Va , so you would be another 130 miles..
I don't blame anyone who didn't show from down here, its a haul and the weather didn't look good... But, it is a great track and can be fast as you see... We now have VMP on board and that will make for great racing next year in IHRA....

Greg
The turn out isnt really all that good sad to stay
Look at the car counts in all the classes
Last year they had a hurricane and they had 60 stockers
SS is at 25 cars
The pro pits are empty
Maybe some will come in tonight
Lets hope...
