Default 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.

"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.

One of the positives is if you set a record on Wednesday, you have all day Thursday for teardown or put it back together and still be able to run class on Friday. Just trying to look at the positive side of it, I understand the frustration. i also have to take extra time off now. The funny part of that is the question to NED " can we stack Monday" lol

Can a racer arrive on Friday morning and use first round of class for their time shot?

This use to be a good race with over 500 cars. They have added to many classes, not like it use to be

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.

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.

You get a grade point for national opens. Now having a double there would be outstanding.

If you want to follow the National Event circus but there is no ?points series? for the opens anymore in the US, we only have 6 Divisional?s, so it would be nice that Numidia Open or the Dutch was an actual Divisional and not an open so we didn?t have to travel around the EC to earn the 8 Divisional?s that count.

The Pennsylvania Dutch Classic was a premier event at one time and the favorite for many racers.
With the addition of too many classes it has been bastardized.
