Lots of good racing and a beautiful day to boot. I couldn't stick around for today's race.

Danny,

I thought maybe you'd be there.

Just bad timing for me. I'll be there for the August race.

I had to leave for Saturday this year.

Alot of the guys that are from the Pittsburgh area just don't seem to support the track.

Re: Congrats to Stock & Superstock @ Pittsburg
 

I think a few things were going against the race this weekend.
- The weather on Saturday (I live about an hour and a half northwest of the track and it was bad here).
- The fact that it's run 1/8 mile on a perfectly fine 1/4 mile track.
- It being Mothers Day weekend (Hagerstown used to have a National Open on Mothers Day weekend and car counts were never high).
- And sad to say, some people just don't support a race unless it's an NHRA Nat'l or Div'l race. (I had a S/SS race last September at Pittsburgh, there were thirteen cars).
- Being a double probably didn't help, either. Doubles are nice, having two races for one trip, but it's a lot of money to pony up for one weekend ($350 just in crew and entry fees). For me, a double at MIR would cost almost as much as an eight day trip to Indy for the US Nat'ls (with paying the entry for Indy several months in advance).

That is a lot of money Mike to run an 1/8. Plus the Norwalk LODRS is next weekend.(14-16) See younZ there:D

Re: Congrats to Stock & Superstock @ Pittsburg

Jack, I think it's "yinz". Like, "Are yinz goin' down to Pants n 'at?".

Chris, I know a few people didn't go, one was in a car accident a few weeks ago and another didn't have their engine back yet. I still think 1/8 mile is the biggest turn-off for most racers at PRP.
