Re: Official Mo Power @ Pittsburgh 17-19 who's in? - 06/12/11 12:35 AM

Does anyone know if they are allowing parking in the pits on Thursday night?

It is a long tow from southern Maryland, especially trying to get past D.C. during morning rush hour on Friday (hours delay).

So my group would like to tow up on Thursday evening.

I did some maintenance this morning getting ready for Pittsburgh. They are having a special motorcycle race this weekend at the local track, so no racing. I changed the oil and filter in the engine, changed the trans fluid (aluminum drum), rotated the slicks (every ~20 passes), washed the car and cleaned the underneath and lubed the heim joints (ladder bars). Last week in Richmond, VA was tons of dust every time some car drove by our pit spot (gravel/grass) and it got dirt everywhere.

Jim, I saw nothing about letting the vendor's in on thursday like some of the other races,,so I would say no, but you can park along the entry road up to the ticket booth if you happen to roll in early.

There is a test&tune Thursday night so I would guess you could park that night but call the track to make sure. He is a link to the schedule. http://www.pittsburghracewaypark.com/schedule

You should have no problem getting in on Thursday and staying the whole weekend. We have gotten in on thursday night before. As long as you are there before the gates close.

We are coming out from ohio on thursday evening ourselves

Thank you and everyone for their support.The Curt race is very special to our family and that many of you support this event only goes to strengthen the legesy and philosophy that Curt left with us."racers helping racers".Many of you who knew Curt can relate to his generosity and respect he projected towards not only racers but to people in general.
That this event is run under the CC/Mopower Event banner should not deterr anyone from attending and having a great time.The Blankenship family have been very respectfull in honoring Curts memory and respectfull of the BGR family and all the racers that attend.As with our customers,who become our friends and then become our family,the Blankenships are no diffrent.We started a business relationship,became friends and now include them as part of our extended family.This relationship is based on mutual respect and we see it continuing in the future.
We know there has been issues with Charlie and others but this is his private issues and is not our concern or any of our business and should not reflect on the Curt Memorial Race or BGR.We should respect and support any events or venues that give us a oppertunity to get together and enjoy our sport/hobby.If we lose any of the events it's our loss as well as those who promote them.No one is going to be happy with everyone,but we can try and get along and enjoy ourselves,life is too short for all the other bullshitz,get along or move along.
BGR is welcoming everyone to join us at PRP and experience some of the best Southwestern Pa. hospitality and want to thank all of you and the Blankenship family for joining us in respecting Curt's memory and carrying on his legesy.
Respectfully,Bob

Just so everyone knows our weather down here in pittsburgh is really scattered...we have had scattered thunderstorm predictions the last few weeks in a row and it never rained either time, even this saturday at a 50% chance of thunderstorms it did not him, sunny days, and if it does rain its most likely going to be a quick cloud rolling through its been so hit or miss around here...dont rule yourselves out on the weather... PLUS REMEMBER! PRP HAS A JET DRYER!!! SEE YOU THERE!

This is what I was told from MoPower. The MoPower event admission opens at 8am on Friday. But since the track is having the test and tune, we can pay that to enter on Thursday as long as the gates are still open to enter (time unknown).

This group of racers plan to leave as soon as everyone can get out of work on Thursday (after lunch). That could be 1pm or 5pm depending on work load. Add about 6 hrs towing plus driving home from work and getting the race cars, etc. So it could be 8pm or after midnight.

Re: Official Mo Power @ Pittsburgh 17-19 who's in? - 06/16/11 03:18 PM

Just received official word, someone will be at the track until late tonight to get you in. We're getting some rain today, so test and tune is iffy at the moment for tonight. Carmen's Cafe will also be open for a few hours tonight, even if test and tune is rained out, so folks can get something to eat and drink, buy ice, etc.

Don't let the weather forecast affect your decision to come in! As Nick mentioned earlier, last weekend was supposed to be a total washout on Saturday, and we didn't get a drop. PRP track prep is awesome, they have a jet dryer, sweepster, tire drag, etc.

Friday Great Racing Was: Mo Power @ Pittsburgh - 06/18/11 03:32 AM

We got a full day of racing in on Friday. No rain at all.

Thursday around 5-6pm was terrible rain, but Friday was great.

I hope everyone comes out on Sat and Sunday for some fun.

I got the Dart slowed down to the 9.50 cutoff for Pro (what is a footbraker to do?). The car ran right on the dial-in in the gamblers race a couple times. But with 14 cars left, I had a bad light and lost even though the car ran dead-on with a zero!

The other two racers that came up with me from southern Maryland made it down to 7 cars before they were on the wrong side of the timeslip.

Your and your car did good all weekend. I wanted to stop and chat, but you either had a crowd or were busy working on the Dart.I didn't want to bother you. Maybe next time. Again, good job.
