A normal Sunday bracket race takes till almost midnight to finish after they spend half the day screwing around with lunch breaks, go carts and whatever. NED is a very fast track but I've spent many 10 hour Saturdays there just to get 1 useful time run out of 2. I miss having it 22 miles from my house and the good air, but I hate that place so much otherwise. When I had things stolen from my tow rig at NED they said if you don't like it, don't come back.
I don't understand what your're talking about. Of all the tracks I've been to, ETown was the most likely place to have something stolen, the only Div1 track where I felt it was necessary to lock up everything to go make a run. I went to Epping last year and experienced none of what you're saying. The track was well prepped & organized and the event ran on time every day in spite quite severe rain every night. As far as the Knapp's and NHRA, they may be feeling the same thing that the Dimino's felt about the NHRA which is why we have no points or open meets there, from what I understand. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong! BILL TAYLOR STK 1005
