Re: Dutch Cancelled
Well I can't say anything about pit conditions, but they missed the weather conditions. It was alittle windy here, (about 24 miles from track) but partly cloudy Saturday. Today is looking like more clearing skys. As the weather guessers say "SEASONABLE" I'm glad I don't have to make the race decisions!!!

Re: Dutch Cancelled
Well the track is booked every weekend from now until mid November. BUT, one of those weekends (the 26th) is a flea market and not a race..... How big of a flea market could it be?? Perhaps they could accommodate both the Dutch Classic and the fleas ?? Heck, maybe there would be spectators from the fleas who would pop a few bucks to watch the races, and perhaps racers bargain hunting at the flea market in between rounds ???

Re: Dutch Cancelled
I guess what also can be a messed up situation is this year D1 brought back the points system back for the sportsman at the Opens. I mean I understand it was a PC Richards Gift Certificate, Wally and Jacket but, it's still the feeling to say "I was a D1 champion at one point in my life". Big thanks to Gary and the PC Richards crew for all they do for the sportsman by sponsoring the series. Not all of us wanted to go to Canada or drive 3 times up to Epping, just like I'm sure a lot of Northern guys wanted to drive to Atco or MG twice but, there was a lot of guys who probably went into this event going "Hey I got a shot at the D1 open championship and it would be cool to accomplish for me." Now they have no shot at it and that is kind of a kick in the rear. I agree with Lee, make the Dutch a Sports-national for D1 and do away with the other opens. Sorry but, the opens back in the day were a way to get a grade point without having to run a divisional race and still get into a national event. Now with a grade 2 or 3 you can make it into any National with no problem. It would free up some more weekends for associations races, etc. Just my 2 cents!
