Danny - Believe me many of the racers here in NHRA Division One are not looking forward to the "Drive up Ninty-Five" next year - - - - - - - - - beautiful country though ....................wish you were keeping your race ! ! !

Geez Jack, we all do the 95 drive south from up here lol.

If you do a little planning, you can miss all but the last toll. I've made the trip a couple of times, both from Ohio and from North Carolina. Long ride from *those* states, but otherwise I see no problem with the trip.

You Floridians are wimps! Epping is close to the ocean, so it really never gets that cold (cold is when it gets below zero, 0-32 is chilly, 32-50 is brisk, 50-75 is warm, above 75 is hot).

Ive been there twice with IHRA but your right.....Im a wuss as I hate cold weather. My X was from Hamburg Ny and I hated it there when I had to take her home for Christmas. Friggin' snow and ice.

Jack, We regularly have 60 cars at our association races "up north here", I am sure those racers are happy to not need to go "DOWN" 95 for every points race.

Lets see, when I started this sport the points races were.

Cayuga 450 miles for me
maple Grove 300
Englishtown 200
Epping 120
MIR 300+
We did go to atco maybe once way back, then didn't they switch to IHRA for a long time ?

That schedule did a good job of representing D1 geographically

I will be at Epping

Dave - You're right but some of us are spoiled ----

Do you see what I mean ...............
