09 Class Rotation Announced - Page 3

BKSG1198 · 10-30-2008, 04:56 PM

If you live up in MA, NH, VT, ME, RI, CT area it has always sucked running D-1 races. It was somewhat nice when Epping, NH had a D-1 race for people up in that area. The racers like us are spoiled having so many tracks near us. Atco is 45 min, Cecil 1 1/2 hrs, E-Town 1 1/2 hrs, Maple Grove 2 Hours. The track closest for them is Leb Valley which we all know how most of us feel about that place.

All in all I am somewhat happy about the National Events having more Classes. We run mostly Divisionals and National Opens along with MASGA so the addition for S/G at the events is not a big deal. But, anyways Thanks Rock for looking out for the sportsman guy. It's good to know that we have a voice and things don't fall on deaf ears. I was shocked that Concord didn't get a D-2 race next year.

Well, we were going to take it easy on Nationals next year anyway and run just the "local" nationals. NHRA helped our racing budget!
Can't run both cars at Etown OR Reading - won't go.
May go to NC and Virginia, but then we have to travel which is what we wanted to cut down on!!
MASGA races will be on our calendar as well as local divisionals!
Maybe we should move to D3 instead of PA !!! Rock is the best!!

We asked for all the classes to be put back in.....and I submitted a mock rotation....they made the final rotation...I'm not sure why they cut the classes that they did...where they did....pit space and scheduling were issues......frankly I'm not sure how crowded the nationals will be next season....with the economy the way it is.....

I think they just like to punish the Division 1 racers....

You guys can move on down here to Charlotte. Might not be cold enough for you and you can forget seeing any snow except on TV. A sled or snow shovel is as useless here as a screen door on a submarine. Plus its closer to Florida/Georgia where the all of my divisional races are. None in the carolinas.

I had someone actually call me yesterday with just that question. From Michigan needing a job in charlotte. I will ask you the same question I asked him, What do you do?

Fuzz - He said he was a slacker and wanted to race all the time, I told him I already had that position filled in my company.
