"No additional crew beyond what is purchased" allowed 1 crew member, but sold out.
Guess they have to watch the total head count.
Still, better than what we have here, which is nothing, and no provisional date.

still openings available for car/driver no crew, and for street cars from 4-7 ,I have nothing to test with the race car to justify $100, but am running my D150 in the street session to get ready for Mopars at the Patch and Carlisle if they happen

Nanket -
Guess I should have checked the track website instead of NHRA's.
Might be the same deal for other tracks.

Anyone go to the T&T and Mopar show this past Sunday? It was perfect weather for racing! Finally got my 14 second 1/4 mile grin. I was a high 14, but still in the 14's. I think I owe some of that to the racer on my left. He kept me trying to catch him!! Thanks for that. up

That was my friend driving my D150 in the other lane from you, Congrats on your first 14 second run! I am not track management but I have been racing there for over 30 years. I do my best to help promote the annual Mopars at the Patch for them, Thanks to everybody that attended, I hope you enjoyed yourself and you come back again next year. Although I always hope for a good turnout with everything thats going on and considering the track just reopened last week 40 Mopars ( I heard ) is a pretty good turnout. The weather sure was nice!

Hi Al , i don't think there was a photographer there, M1 was won by Paul Crispen, M2 was Won by a guy from Pa. in a Yellow 70 Super Bee, M3 was Won by Jeff Rahner driving my D150, Modern Mopar Muscle was won by a guy in a Hellcat Charger , Melissa posts pictures of the winners on Facebook a few days after the race.

Tell Jeff I said thanks!!! I had a good time and he was a good match for me to race. He gave me lane choice on my last race. Good guy! His last race he was racing a super charged Jeep Unlimited w/a 3" lift. I want my Jeep to do 15's smile

Will Do ! He's been racing since the 70s and has been my close friend for over 20. I usually race my Dart and he races the truck at the Meet but due to a knee injury last week I wasn't able to race. He normally races his 68 Skylark w/a BB Chevy or his 57 Vette and he drove my Dart to the 11.50 index championship at Raceway Park back in 2014.
