Was tech warning people about the Camaro hoods at this race? They were at the Div 6 race at Woodburn last weekend. I think there were about 5 or 6 cars that got the warning to have then fixed before Aug 1st.

Awesome race.

Tom is right. Overall the Harleys and Snowmobiles took minimal track time.....In fact they probably helped with the turnaround for the TAFC and TAD.

I was happy to be done with one round in the late afternoon and fire the BBQ and able to enjoy Saturday evening with the family rather than hot lapping around the Saturday Night Alcohol Elims.

A lot of credit has to go to D1 and NED staff that baked in the sun. With temperatures in the upper 90s for the majority of the weekend they really had to be dedicated to stick it out. Many of us could escape to the motorhome or shade for some relieft. They didn't get that option

If I remember back a few years ago Tom & Kathy did a little bounty for the Super Gas guys at all divisionals. Everyone threw in $ 5 or $ 10 and the driver who went the farthest in eliminations got the bounty. It was a nice little bonus for the SG guys & gals to add on to the payout. I think if I remember at Cecil one year the guy who went to the Semi's got an added $150 or $200 bucks. Tom could maybe chim in on the details but, it was a cool little bonus.

We used to do a $20 Gambler ,Calcutta what ever you wanted to call it . 40% to the winner 30% r/u 15% each semi.
We stopped doing it because you had people forgetting to pay and then getting mad when they went to the money rounds and wanted to pay then and we would not take their money.
It can work and pay off ,but it's a lot of work for someone to do it.
