With three quals planned, I suspect we will do five minutes a piece. If we switch to two quals with turn out over 60, can we to two 7min quals?

See you there.

Shannon will be there with her camera as well. Does the track have plenty of power or do we need to bring generators?

We have power, but bring the generator just incase, or if your parked too far from the outlets.

Anyone bringing a camper or motorhome, we ask you to set up on the gravel parking lot in order to give people with tents a chance to sleep on the grass.

The clubhouse will be open friday and saturday and if anyone has a DVD they would like to play on the big screen to give their kids something to do, feel free.

If the track is lit, why would we need to shorten the program?

That's a good point. I think it would fun to run under the lights actually. Plus it's a saturday night, so I'm in no hurry to be home that day. Three 7min quals would be dialed!!!

I agree, 3 7 min quals would be awesume and then run the mains under the lights if we have to.

If the turnout is anything like the Rumble we will be running under the lights. (I think they finished up about 9ish, and its pretty dark now by 7:30-8:00).

Night racing is wayyyy better IMO. We havent had to use them all year, I miss it. So don't forget to bring a light for your pit area.

We finished before 9 cause the sun was still kinda up But i totally agree, i love racing under the lights. Besides, the nitro engines run much better at night when it's cooler and not as humid.
