Big doin's at this years 'Dutch'

[Jack Matyas]

This year if different - the last hurrah of the year will be big thanks to Maple Grove Raceway and PC Richard & Son .Usually its the Hemi Shootout along with National Record runs but this years version ( the 45th by the way ) offers something for everyone with larger purses .

Check out all the days on the flyer attached.Then next weekend pack the trailer - get the wife and kids ready - even bring your pooch along but don't miss it .If you're a class racer or on index racer this deal is for you .

BTW- if Shootouts are your thing just check out Saturday's action .

More on this as it becomes available ...........

All nice and well for the S/SS cars that for the most part are big dollar cars. Why doesn't some one run a package race for one round of qualifying, like Dave Lay used to do long ago? Even the low buck guys can get in on it.

James, I guess you know I sold all my stuff in 2010. Tired of the long time away ( I usually always got to Div. races on Weds.) ,rediculous expense to travel and entry fees, the long drawn out waiting times to get on the track,etc. etc. The package race required 2 or 3 people to run, Dave and Gloria did a great job doing it and it gave everyone going down the track to hit a small bonus jackpot for the weekend. I guess everybody is in their own little world now.

ED, i see your calling. Since you sold your race operation, why don't you organize the package races at the Div 1 races? You saw how it was done in the past. Be part of the solution!
