Any interest in a S/SS combo at Interstate Dragways? - Page 2

Rumor has it, there will be a band on hand playing for us after Saturday's program.

I just looked today, and weather.com has it looking just fine for the weekend. All we need to do is SHOW UP! I haven't heard a lot of response on this thread or from the Fargo Area racer's. Novassdude---what's the good word from up that way?
Please post on here, or contact me if your planning on running the S/SS program this coming weekend July 24-26th. As of right now, I have roughly a dozen confirmed S/SS racer's....with a about another half dozen on the fence. Get the WORD OUT gang---we need your help to pull this off!!!

Oh, and now on Friday for those doing the Test-n-Tune there is a $500 to WIN guaranteed Gambler's Race starting at 6pm. All you have to do is pay the $50 ($40 if you don't wish to gamble, but still test)...and your entered!

The NEW OWNER is practically bending over backwards for us to put on a good show and have some FUN at the races!!!

I plan on being there sometime Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately I have to work until noon on Saturday. So we won't arrive until about 3:00 too late for Saturdays program. So hopefully we'll at least get a couple of test and tune passes in on Saturday and be ready for Sunday.

The weather forcast is looking FANTASTIC currently---upper 70's to low 80's Friday - Sunday.

Please contact all of your Stock/Super Stock friends and tell them Interstate Dragways is the place to be July 24-26th!!!

Thanks Joe!!!

First off, the track was if good condition...no issues hooking here. Over the weekend I made 12 passes in the Camaro and was able to learn a bunch. The track/staff at Interstate Dragways was fantastic to work with. Yes, there was a computer issue on Saturday...but, Sunday went off well once that was corrected.

Saturday Results

Jon Christensen def Brett Speer
Brian Zenzen Semi

Sunday Results

Brett Speer def Alex Weise
Russ Speer Semi

Those that were there I believe had a good time. However, it was a very poor turn out which was major league disappointing to me for as much work as I put into trying to organize this event.

ron mattson · 07-27-2009, 03:24 PM

turnout was probably poor due to the fact that brainerd had its race going on at the same time,
the general idea at brainerd was if it was a different weekend without conflict that most of the
bir regulars would have been there. most just wanted one more shot at bir before the national
event in a few weeks.

5919 SSKA · 07-27-2009, 05:21 PM

I agree, but this was pretty much the only weekend left this season that didn't have a conflict with a Division 5 event or MidWest Classracers/USA.

Not to mention, we started to post about this event back in April. Some people just made a choice to race elsewhere...which I understand. I myself am not a fan of the way BIR does their S/SS program, so I wanted to try something different.

I'd be happy to try again next year...maybe even 2 Combo Events at Interstate.

Travis me and my car should be healed up and ready for next year. How many cars did you get at Interstate? Sorry I couldn't get there this year my recovery is taking much longer than I had planned.
