All Riverhead Blunderbusts are invited to Mountain Speedway in the scenic Pocono foothills of Pennsylvania, on Sunday afternoon, October 7, as part of our "pack the track" race program. Blunderbusts will run with the Thriller division in a 30 lap feature event, plus qualifying heats. This will be a non-points event, as our points season ends the weekend before, at our 8th Annual "King Of The Mountain" weekend.

Blunderbusts will run under Riverhead rules/tires, with the following exceptions:
-Must weigh minimum 3100 lbs, under 360 c.i., after race, with driver.
-Must weigh minimum 3400 lbs, over 360 c.i., after race, with driver.
-Maximum 56% Left Side Weight.
-Must maintain 4-inch frame height
-No rear gear rule.
-It is recommended that ALL BOLT IN Ballast-be removed.

I realize many of you will still be on the "heavy" side, But the rules are just guidelines. Come out and enjoy a scenic fall day in the Poconos, And grasp the opportunity to run the "lead sleds" on a different track.

For more info, check out www.mountainspeedway.com, or call the speedway office at (570)384-3215.

I've never been to Mountain, but this sounds interesting. What type of set ups are people running?? What type gear is recommended, especially if we leave the weight in?

They would be running with the Thriller cars, so as long as they fit either rules,...sure.

Hey Vick
Do you need another driver? He might go back just once cause he loves the track. I would break my promise never to go back (maybe). We used to have a lot of fun. One time for old times sake????

It all depends on the gearing and how much work is involved.If it is too much work then no, but if we can pull it off, I would like to give it a shot as long as we would be competitive with that class. I will see you Saturday.

PS Scott Lehman I need a way to contact you

Riverhead grand enduros only have a 6 pt cage, none past the firewall front or rear, is this ok to run w/ thrillers at mountain?

Weezer,
Although front hoops are recommended, they are not required.
You should have a fuel cell in the trunk area, with some protection behind it.
Hope you can make the trip.

I will call you,but it seems that the amount of work needed to switch everything will be too much.I just don't have the time which is one reason that I haven't run at all this year.I wish it would have worked out,but not this time

Hey guys (and gals)...I'm trying to plan coverage, so I'd like to get a realistic head count on how many BB drivers are actually planning on going. If you could send me a PM or email me at tchirico@longislandjam.com, I'd really appreciate it!

A lot of cars come stock with mid 2.70 in them. Go to the junk yard, Artie.

Looks like it will be a great day of racing...Mods, Late Models, Street Stocks, Thrillers, 4 Thrillers...you can bring your whole family and they can sit in the stands and watch the whole day of racing for just $7 each!

According to Mike Odwazny at Mountain, pits open at 10:30 am with pracitce at 12:30 pm and racing at 2 pm.

Anyone else planning on coming?
