Open Discussion:

Rob Papineau – Right lane jacked up.  Will it be fixed?

            Answer:  Track owner saw the condition (potholes) in the shut down area and hired someone to repair it.  At the repair point (right at the finish line), there remained a ‘bump’ in the right lane.  He was summoned back and told it needed to be milled down, as it was causing many of the fast cars.

 

Don Butler – Is anyone else having an issue with the left lane starting line?  Are there bald spots?  Especially if you stage off to one side, car pulling to the right?

            Answer:  Jim Wade noticed some cars in front of him pulling to the right as soon as they launched; and John Schurr mentioned that the groove tends to drift toward the right and there are some wear spots.

           

  • 50/50 Winner:  $47 to John Schurr.

 

Motion to adjourn was made by Richard Church, and seconded by Rob Papineau at 8:30 PM.
