"Live" from the PC Richards Dutch Classic

[Dave Casey]

Good morning all, currently 930 am Fri which is the start time for racing here today. An off and on mist is currently falling which will delay things somewhat. The busy fall schedule and the early date for this event have certainly hurt the numbers for this race. You can park anywhere, and the rumor is there were only a little more than 200 entered. Although that is unfortunate, it is nobodies fault, just a product of the times we are in.

Yesterday about 20 racers took advantage of the test , some gearing up for Top Stock. It was in the 80's and humid. Ran into Bill Seabrooks and his wife Libbey, I am hoping he will take some pics and put them up when he gets back home. Looking forward to class racing tomorrow , I believe I am one of 3 A/S'rs here , that should be fun.

Made our annual trip to the Shady Maple last night and it did not disappoint . Great food, good times lots of laughs with the Broadbents, LaBrecques and Steve Rehm .

Hope to get in a daily report, feel free to chime in.

Friday 2nd qualifying session for the stockers.

We got started late yesterday because of the drizzle, it was probably 12 or 12:30. It cleared up as the day went on and we saw the moon last night. I think there were 52 Super Stockers and 56 stockers. Stock is led by Dennis Chapman at -1.21 and Steve Smyth is 2nd at - 1.15 under

Top Stock was led by Scott Gove, I believe that there were 5 cars, Gove,Morgan, Martin, Richards, and Gyorke. In the first rd Gove singled , I think it was Morgan over Richards and Gyorke over Martin. I was listening, not watching, so correct me if I got something wrong. The fastest time I heard was a 9.92 I think. I don't know past the 1st rd, but will try to get better results.

The Hemi cars had 5 also I believe, seems like Hess and Daniels were constantly going 8.41 or 8.42. They have class today .

Today is class for all of us too, weather looks good, but honestly myself and many wish this race was in October, some how 80-85 degree days and the Dutch Classic don't go together.

Yes they need to move this back to oct. the car count definitely reflects this
The Dutch used to be the fall race to look forward to

Matt and Jim Morgan won Top stock, They are currently calling stockers for class eliminations (10;45) , we had a q run earlier today.

We received a handful of arrivals overnight - I see 72 Stockers now (some additions were yesterday's Top Stock and Jr. Stock competitors) and a few new SS cars although I didn't count.

There are now 6 SS/AH cars on the property - Stephen Yantus arrived. He ran an 8.40, followed by Daniels improving to an 8.38 and Bucky also improving to an 8.40. Should be a great show!!

U.S. Nationals FSS champ Jesse Alexandra is here, running FS/SM in Comp. There were only 2 Comp cars yesterday and 1 of them was Leonard Lottig's FSS car.
