If you are going to the track on Thursday and are running in the street class, the fee is $105.00 If you get your name on the Y Block list the fee will be $ 65.00. To get on the list call Bob Martin at 513-706-1971

Are they running Thursday? I thought it started on Friday. Chuck

Chuck, We are not running on Thursday, but some guys go into the track to set up our pits and drop their trailers ,and camp over on Thursday night. The track still charges to get in the same as race days to cover insurance.

Wow, 65 dollars each w00t. Our insurance for Finnish Ford Nationals costs about 70 euros and that covers disasters up to 500000 euros and that is paid by the organizer. And we charge 20 euros from drivers about drag racing and other 20 euros if willing to go to track. Ok, Columbus is huge event as far as I know and we had only about 130 cars driving and about 200 cars as spectators.

For Y-Block shoot out we could use 2 or 3 of the folding white tables,if any one has any. More room for food and a place for Bob Martin to put his ballot boxes. Harry

Harry I can bring one.
By Glen Henderson - 11 Years Ago
It's not white Harry, but I have a metal table that I will bring.

Did I see it correctly that the track does not open on Fri till 11 am? Has anyone confirmed this time? I wonder why so late usually we are making passes by then.

I can envision a massive traffic jam about 9:00

Ill be there wednesday, have to work in Detroit Tuesday then going to drive down wednesday, only like a little over 3 hour drive according to Mapquest. My brother is going to meet Chuck in NH and ride with him, Ill turn the rental car in in Columbus and ride home with them. We wont have any car with us but there will be plenty off pit crew help.

Harry,

I have some 8' wood top tables we used when we setup outdoors. They are folding with a top of marine grade plywood and varnished. Basicly a two person, or one younger guy, carry. There are four of them that havn't seen the light of day for at least 10 years. If you want them they are yours! Chuck

Chuck we don`t want any , just bring a couple so people dont have to eat off the ground Thanks Harry

I just called the track in Columbus and RB is right the track opens at 11 AM on Friday. It will be a mess to get in, and they said that even if you got there Thursday that you will still have to be in line as well. Also, the gate will close at 5 PM Thursday. The reason they gave me was a new promoter!

I'm kinda glad they're opening at 11:00. It means I can sleep! I haven't had much during the past couple weeks, getting things ready and it doesn't look like I'll get much before I leave.

Here's the schedule:

That kinda sucks, first rd of yblock eliminations afternoon on Sunday! Maybe Bob can work his charm and get that changed.

Glen, 3 on Sat too.

Just for kicks I used Charlies link and contacted the NMRA Promedia people and mentioned that opening the gate that late may create traffic problems and this was their reply.

Bill,

The scheduled time for opening the gate is 11am. If there is a large line Friday morning, we will open the gate at 8:30 or 9 and start parking.
