Division 1 Bracket Finals
Anyone going down to Delmar this Saturday to cheer on all of our own Raceway Park racers in the Division 1 bracket finals? JP, I know you will be there early on Thurday morning for time trials. I believe the gates open at 7AM on all three days. Eliminations on Saturday begin at 8:30 AM. Saturday's cost to get in is $12.00. I had the pleasure of representing Raceway Park in the street class at the Division 1 Bracket Finals in 2001. It was a lot of fun and very competitive among all of the Division 1 track racers that were invited to race. So JP have fun, enjoy and be safe. Mariana and I will see you bright and early Saturday morning.

JP, is your "first-round" streak going to extend thru the Bracket Finals, too?
I went to the 1st three E.T. Finals @ U.S. 13 ('98-'00) as a crew-member, but not been back since:
local track is now IHRA, and goes to Norwalk, Ohio, for it's Finals now.....
I always preffered Maple Grove over U.S.13 for the Finals, but the Reading-area hotel owners were raping us pretty good in those days, too.
One year ('00?), after an all-night down-pour, my partner had 8" of water in his pit-space the next morning;
I recall Delmar had a lot of 'blowing-sand' at the track, but track had decent grub, nice souvies, and the little go-kart track is a blast

Yes Sheila who races with is a flight instructor, I could get her to fly me down there, but I'd feel bad about letting ol" Ralphie drive down all alone...
