Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
I agree that the Dutch isn't what it used to be, but being a National Open, there is no AHFS which is a huge plus for me. I will be there bright and early on Wednesday with my camera in hand. Hope to see many of you there!

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
I'm sure you guys remember when many racers racer would come from near and far to set a record at the Dutch Classic. So many in fact that the Certification team had their hands full. Am I right Dave Ley?

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
Nothing stays the same forever and our country no mind drag racing is ever going back to what it was 40-50-60 years ago. Just be happy drag racing still exists and maple grove is still a drag strip because one day sooner than later neither willl.

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
So what you?re saying is I need to take an additional day off from work to make one time shot on Thursday so I can run class that I could care less about so I can race on Saturday?

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
I don't know about that Joe, you would have to ask that. The question was about running class. Due to random pairing, it may be different than Class

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
It sounds like it's an ongoing question being posed by Supka & Ally Doll on the FB Page, like if they don't want to run class can they still get a couple of shots at the tree on Friday...it sounds confusing so far as far as the answer goes

Re: Dutch Classic Tentative shedule
This new trend seems odd to me. By starting a race earlier (say a Wednesday or Thursday), 100% of the participants are impacted and those with jobs will need to take time off work.
With a "traditional" schedule, IF there is bad weather and the event gets extended into Monday after some rounds of racing, a much smaller group of participants are impacted. Using some quick math, even if only one round was completed before racing stopped, that's 50% that are headed home with possibly no impact to their schedules. Every round after that gets better & better. Not everybody is retired or races for a living. (haha) Quote:
