Starting Thursday (10 May) the Pine Bowl will be open for practice and warm-ups for the big WDRA weekend.

10 May is a no- charge pick up the place and hot lap night
I've changed the plans for slightly for 17 May
there will not be a charge, and instead run either orgasnized practice or rolling start with yellow flags 30 lap dashes (think Freilieghs)

See Ya.......... At The Track:thumbsup:

I am thinking about making the trip out and had a few questions as I am fairly new to the dirt oval seen. What are the rules and classes. I will tell you what I have and maybe you could give me some insight on as to what I should run or possibly buy before I get there or buy it there to be legal.
I have a intimadator gear box tranny with foam tires. the body seems to be the same as what is on your website. I have turned my 4 cell 4200 ib and EP packs in 6 cell and plan to use a co27 motor. you have listed 2 tracks, the big race is on sunday correct? Could someone help out with tire selction and possibly gearing? thanks in advance and hope to make the race.

We regret to announce that we are forced to cancel the WDRA weekend in Albany scheduled for 19 & 20 May due to the poor weather forecast and our recognition of the major expenses that racers incur in travel and lodging costs. :cry:



This also includes all warm-up night races.



The rescheduling of this much anticipated weekend will be announced shortly after consultation with the WDRA officials as to the best fit into the already busy schedule.



We regret any inconvenience but have announced this as early as possible to minimize the impact.



See Ya………….Some Day………….At The Track

this is a bummer, damn mother nature. i will certainly visit this thread or another to keep an eye on the new date. looking forward to running at your track. thanks for making the call now.

Ken,
You can also keep in touch with Valentine, as he will be attending as well. I have a helmet ride ready for him, and he'll be knocking the rust off his dirt wheel this summer-:thumbsup:
