Live From Acton MT Div 6 LODRS

Sadly not alot of S/SS cars from in Montana to begin with. It is quite a haul from the coast or Canada. Damn our big empty state!

They can't get that many at San Antonio which is one of the biggest metropolitan areas in the country.

On a per-capita basis, I think the turnout at Acton was pretty good.

San Antonio is an IHRA track, NHRA down there draw more cars.

Not really the point I was trying to make. ihra would probably get 4-6 cars at Acton.

The majority of Division 6 racers are located in the western area of the division around Vancouver, Seattle or Portland (the main population centers). For all these guys it’s a 15 hour or more tow. 12 hours south from Edmonton plus time at the border. Next closest place with a fair concentration of racers I think is Boise and it’s over 10 hours away. 20-30 hours round trip travel time for most of us!
Ed…..Texas isn’t the only place that’s big! ;-)

I remember a large number of stock and super stockers coming out of the Helena area and Missoula area years ago. I am aware of a few class cars tucked away, they just need a reason to come out {$******

Looks like they were only able to get three rounds of stock and two in Superstock today. We left after I lost in the second round. Sitting in a truck stop in Great Falls MT and actually have great internet. It was a good race other than the fact they maybe should have gone right into eliminations this morning instead of giving one more qualifying run they might of been able to finish the race before the rains hit. Its too bad about the small car counts (super comp I think had seven or eight). But over all the race was fun. Got lots of runs and meet some div 5 racers I haven't seen for a while. The traction was great. I did like the fact almost 50% of the stockers had a clutch! LOL.

Congratulations to Terry Anderson and Clarence Bidniak on their wins in Super Stock and Stock this weekend (or should I say Monday morning) in Acton Montana.
