if some one shows up this week and has never bin there b4 and runs fast enuff time to be 5th do thay start 5th or 8th

Qualifying order will be set on your fastest run on April 6th. So Bill A. has to be the fastest on the 6th to start on the pole.

where is Spina's Name for the 4600 class???

Hmm, look a little harder....:wave:

If anyone wants to help, we will be setting up the track, fixing the bad seem and cleaning the ice on Saturday at 4. You can setup you pit space and leave if you want....

if some one shows up this week and has never bin there b4 and runs fast enuff time to be 5th do thay start 5th or 8th

i believe they would start 8th, the top 7 will race between themselves for 1 to 7 spots, the remaining 3 spots will be filled with the best racers from the april 6th show.

Qualifying order is reset on Sunday. Fastest car is on the pole whether they are pre-qualified or not.

what if 10 new people show up and run 70 laps??

Only the fastest 3 70 lap cars make it.
