96 Cars!

Mark Yacavone · 08-31-2019, 06:28 PM

...at Earlville, first Q sheet
5 K each day , cash on the barrel head .
96 of your friends, No fuelers , no drag Harleys, no street tire expo, no $400 entry.. No getting up before dawn to be bumped till the end of the day, then cancelled.
Oh and sorry , no Wallys.
Maybe not YOUR thing, but how much you wanna bet, there will be more cars next year?

We had a little rain show up while we were in line for Q2 so I believe we will just have one race this weekend. But we will continue on tomorrow and it sounds like we will have some more cars showing up.

One time run and rain

great turn out though . Hopefully nice weather tomorrow

Sounds great. Keep race to class cars and it will grow big time.

btrc · 09-01-2019, 01:02 PM

I believe there are 103 cars today.

That is very impressive. In the twenty years I have been doing S/SS races, the most cars I have ever had was 67.

The rain obviously hasn't helped, but these oildowns wasted several good hours of racing. At least Luigi Farndon wasn't responsible for any of them!

Carry on...
