"Live" from the PC Richards Dutch Classic

[QUOTE=Jack Matyas;648146]Hi kids- Well here's the skinny -got in early evening yesterday and managed to get in the cleanups - track was OK but it just doesn't feel like the Classic - hot and muggy for sure .Many of you feel that the race should be back in October and I fully agree .

Here's an eye opener - walked in to the teardown barn and guess what I saw - dust and two officials with nothing to do .Not a single car or racer .I realize you can't bring back the old days but the powers that be can you fix this - many of us would like some of the tradition of the " Pennsylvania Dutch Classic " to be brought back .

On another note - racing is racing - some of us felt like 1st graders today when everyone who was alone in their class got a trophy just for showing up and going down the track .At least Combo racing was better than nothing - they should bring it back .(Quote)

Good morning - After speaking with Director Mohn I'm glad to report he has made some changes for the 2022 "Pennsylvania Dutch Classic" held at Maple Grove Dragway .

1) We will be back to a late October date .
2)Single cars in Stock and SuperStock classes will run for a Combo win .

Good to hear, I knew it was going back to it's Mid-October date as Maple Grove has already been on me about dates for my .90 series for 2022. I just didn't want to say anything before Dave released the schedule. So we can break out the firepits, Halloween candy and hoodies for next year! I do have to say the Dutch is one of my favorite events, just the feel of getting together before we pack everything away before the winter, this year was like....I want to say see you next year but, I'll see you in 3 days at VMP or Cecil...lol
