Budds Creek

Torco President?s Cup Nationals Moved to June 13-15

Was the weather and the air too good at MIR this past October? I heard the announcer say on Saturday morning that it was the best round of stock/superstock he had seen. Scotty Cannon set the pro-modified ET record Saturday night.

Why move this race to late spring/beginning of summer when it will either be hot and muggy, or wet?

What a stupid move on IHRA's part. Atco isnt but 3 hours away. Looks like they wont have any S/SS cars next year.

Won't fight high school football and such... that's often a concern for other sporting events. They may have had things packed a little too tightly at the end of the season. Moving a date back gives them a little more breathing room in the case of a rainout. Hey, everybody can let it hang out for Class. ;-) Even 'bad' air at MIR probably isn't that bad.

Still anxious to see the Pro-Am schedule...

I hadn't looked at other schedules, and we posted at the same time. You're right Lil D. Atco's going to take a chunk out of the event. I haven't figured out some of their scheduling ideas yet... a couple years ago, we *finally* got New York International to take a Pro-Am, and they made it a *single* race, and put it up against a National Open in New Jersey. They lost the NHRA crossover guys, and most of the Div. 3 guys skipped it because it wasn't a double, so they could easily pick up the double at Pittsburgh for their out of division races later in the year. Last year, they only scheduled five events for Division 1... when the forecast for MIR's double called for rain, tons of guys switched to Div. 3 because they didn't want to sit in the rain, and if they missed that double, it left them with zero flexibility.

Have you heard anything about the pro-am schedule Michael?

I hope Quaker City is back on it as a div 1-3 race, and like to see Pittsburgh go to a fall race. Maybe it can take the Presidents Cup weekend date.

Don't know anything except the February Immokalee deal...

When Pittsburgh had two races, that September race was fantastic.

This past Aprils double at MIR was going to be a rain out for sure.They called for rain and high winds all week for the weekend,and where I live,that translates to Snow;So we didn't go.It should have been called.Then to top it off,they re-scheduled on top off a NHRA open at Hagerstown ,MD.

Duane Eiskant II · 11-20-2007, 04:57 PM

Beard, have you seen where class run offs will be next year? Dont you still have some pull to see the Pro Am events for next year? Also email me i need some printing...

Michael Beard · 11-20-2007, 05:25 PM

Nope. They've been relatively consistent in where they've been running Class the last few years. Then again, that might mean a rotation this year. No idea.

Re: having any kind of pull..... PFFF! Yah, right.

New computer... don't know that I have your e-mail handy. You can get me at beard@staginglight.com. I just put my new #2's on this afternoon....
