Does anyone else want to go to M&M&M Racing Test & Tune Day? :-D I'll bring a grill and food, and the person with the slowest reaction time has to cook :pop

Rhett I know you won't be cooking :bow

It would be good to get an event at NED in spring or mid to late fall. Low elevation (NED is 120 feet, etown about 60 feet mir 130,atco 100 at starting line) and cool fall air. The track can hook really good! Just need to get them pumped up about an event and run during another show like there quik street days or x275 days!
I guarantee that this track with good prep(they can and will) could equal or better MIR ATCO etc...
not to mention way less toll roads to get there!

We tried it. Car count was very poor. We had 6 cars the first two races the third race we had 7 and we canceled the other two event. 3 years in a row we went to NED and no luck. Maybe in a couple of years we can revisit this.

The only way I would have an NED race in 2012 is if we did a preregister / prepay event with no refund if you don't show. I am for it just not into going up to NED dealing with the staff and only having 7 cars show. When we can have a race at LVD, Atco or E-Town and run 12 to 14 cars with out even promoting the day.
