Stafford 2009 - how many cars?

I think Stafford is a 1/2 mile track.  Imagine Bristol (NASCAR) with twice as many cars on it!!!  This could be plenty ugly, glad I'm bringing a car I don't care about!

Here's hoping Nelson Ledges runs the whole track, not the abbreviated track...

We had, IIRC, 94 teams at the Lemons South race at CMP.  It was crazy!  It was almost impossible to avoid contact, and the new rule of both parties penalized for contact made it very challenging!

You're on cheap drugs.  I was there.  Although traffic was dense, we managed to make it through to our last stint (where we got tapped by the Lightnig McQueen car) without contact.

But isn't that the bar by which contact should be judged - no flag and no damage?  Incidental racing  contact.  Sure it's hard to do and it means not being as aggressive yourself, but not impossible. 

That's what we had with the other car, incidental contact.  It was their fault - he waved, not saluted, as he went by.  That was when that driver was trying to catch the lead car so I understand the additional aggression.

This time we're capping Stafford at around 60-65. We will adjust last year's layout as best we can to ease the congestion--we'll probably open up the chicane entering the front straight for starters. Remember, though, we crammed nearly 100 cars onto Altamont, and it seemed to sort itself out.

Wow, Nick, so not everyone got in?  84 applicants!  Don't accept cars faster than a Citation.  Wait, that leave a diesel mercedes.  Nevermind.

Glad you'll open the chicane, that blew last year and caused most of the illwell too.

If you got your acceptance letter, you're in.  Payment due date is in like 10 days or something.  If you didn't get your acceptance letter, ruh roh...

Since the Reno Race is like next weekend, I know it takes center stage. However, I would like to know the following:

Final Tally for entries for New England.
Who are the honorable judges going to be at this event?
Are we finally going to get a piece of destructive equipment for the Curse?
And is there going to be WiFi available?

Just wondering, that's all........

Can't wait!  our first Lemons... and hopefully not our last!!!

Lamest Day at Nelson's will run the entire 2 mile track. The old 'short course' has been run on in at least a decade.

Nelson's should be able to handle a ton of cars.  I remember running an old Escort Endurance series race there in the mid-1980's with 68 cars on track. No problem.

Lamest day should be able to start 90 cars. IMHO

Bring good lights. There are swamp monsters that come out at night on the back part of the course.
