to the top, the locals are ready to bring it, how bout the rest of you?

So if I understand this venue, the oval races are Saturday and the on-road races are Sunday. Right?

You would be correct sir. makes it easier for the track because theyd only have to change the track one time as opposed to having to change it a bunch of times over the course of the weekend

Thank you, sir for your answer. Now another question. I see where there will be practice on Friday. how is that going to work for oval and on-road?

Right now the plan is for Friday to be practice for oval from 1 PM to close, with a final oval practice from 7 AM-12 PM with Drivers meeting at 12:30 and racing starting at 1. Onroad practice would begin 30 minutes after the trophy presentation for oval and would run until the last person leaves then Sunday for onroad would run the same way as Saturday for oval. If the interest is there I could talk to Vince about having onroad practice Friday night as well

bump. RACE IS THIS WEEKEND!

would like to thank all people at Platinum hobbies for a fun day of racing and all the racers had a great time and very nice track ............. hope to see you all again sometime soon.............. bob hendry
