I heard Eno is gonna try for the Riverhead race next year. Ted/Mike-- any word yet?

If that team gets some financing, they can be a force to reckon with.

I heard a rumor that the Pork Roll council as a sponsor is almost a done deal!! Plus it may be a 2 car effort!

Axel...a couple of weeks ago I was at my step-daughter's pre-wedding party here in CT and her best friend Emma went to college in PA. Some how we got on the subject of food and of the famous pork roll. She said there was a place there that was only open from 7-2 PM but it was packed and you had to wait in line. She said they also had it with egg on the roll as well. I told her about you guys raving about it on this forum. Just thought it was funny, small world...

[kinserfan11]

Axel ; are you and Shadow coming to Chemung for that race? :cheers:

Pork roll, egg and cheese-- a NJ institution.

[Axel]

Axel ; are you and Shadow coming to Chemung for that race? :cheers:

I cant speak for Shadow.

As for me, it's an outside shot. Have to play it by ear --prolly be a game time decision.

I have traded Chemung for Oswego and Shangra La II the next week. Any interest in Shangra La II? Sunday the 6th? 100 laps!

[kinserfan11]

i hope chemung can turn things around. many weeks every division is in single digits. tour race should be good, but the weekly program is hurting. sl2 is killing it.

[Axel]

HUH??? Jaws just told me you and him are going to Chemung!!!! LOL

[RGeeProductions]

There you go kinserfan!!!!

[kinserfan11]

RGee; what are you Talking about please? :cheers:

[RGeeProductions]

You have asked me, Axel, sHaDoW, Howie and Jaws if we were going to Chemung.
Kyle just said he was going to be at Chemung.
Therefore I said, 'there you go kinserfan'.
In other words, there is someone who knows they are going to be there.
Boy, tough crowd....

[kinserfan11]

I wonder how many Mods will race next week? :cheers::):cool:

[catfish]

probably all of them,:lol::lol::lol:

[worm]

hope everyone gets paid.

[Jaws]

hope everyone gets paid.

I think Nascar get the money up front, but why start that?

[holleratme]

I think Nascar get the money up front, but why start that?

Because it is a Concern:(

[Jaws]

Because it is a Concern:(

A concern to who? Have any team owners come on here and said they won't go to Chemung because they are afraid of not getting paid? I don't think so. Maybe because the purse is not that great but thats a different story.

Chemung had a problem with a non NASCAR Dirt track car race months ago, why bring that up now with a totally non related NASCAR Tour race.

[Jaws]

i hope chemung can turn things around. many weeks every division is in single digits. tour race should be good, but the weekly program is hurting. sl2 is killing it.

Shangra la II has shut down for 2 weeks, maybe a few more cars will show up for Chemung.

IF you are in the "points" you have to go. The POINT is bad enough to go for a little $$ worse for nothing $$ at all.

[SUfan]

I've heard that Chemung is a great Modified track and I am very much looking forward to my first-ever trip there. If everyone supports the race it can only help the situation there.

[limodmaniac]

What's the schedule for the race?

I think Chemung is the BEST track in NY for viewing a modified race.

[Jaws]

I hope you are talking about Chemung's race schedule for that day...here's the schedule on my entry form:

LI here you go.

[ThE sHaDoW]

I think Nascar get the money up front, but why start that?

because Jaws, I'm starting to hear stories too. I live far enough away that if stories are getting to me, I have to believe there might be some merit to them. I was told NASCAR does not get the money up front, but in this case have asked for it. if true, I applaud NASCAR for protecting it's car owners. let's face it, if they are asking, they must be concerned too.

[RGeeProductions]

Not sure about that being totally accurate.
Where's Hossfeld?
79 Silk??

[limodmaniac]

Was Chuck racing at Chemung? I figured he'd be at Dunn Tire ( Lancaster)

[RGeeProductions]

Not sure but it could be a possibility...

[uticamike]

Crew Chief Kenny Troyer reports Chuck will be supporting the Druar/Jankowiak
Memorial at Dunn Tire this Saturday in the 22. Jimmy Zacharias is however looking to make his first ever start in a WMT event. Should be a mid-twenty car count I think. 30 might be tough.

[MHOSS]

Chuck will be racing this Saturday at Dunn Tire Raceway Park.

Check out http://chuckhossfeld.com

for all Chucks upcoming events.

RGee, not sure if it got updated after you saw it but the 79 is on the list with Silk but I guess that would not be Civali driving after Monday's announcement.

[kinserfan11]

Pickem Time :cheers: I am going with # 16 Mike Stefanik

[SUfan]

Should we assume that there is no Sunday raindate, since it is not mentioned anywhere? With a 70 percent chance of rain on Saturday as of now, it kind of matters to know if it may be run on Sunday.

[limodmaniac]

Not looking good... I'm so sick of rain. Hope it avoids Chemung like it stayed away from Seekonk last week. But it doesn't look good. I hope I'm wrong.

[MOD11RACER]

I hate to report this, but I just called the track and was told that there is NO RAIN DATE !!! and it doesn't look good for a new date if this event is rained out.

[Jaws]

I hate to report this, but I just called the track and was told that there is NO RAIN DATE !!! and it doesn't look good for a new date if this event is rained out.

With the crowd they had last year the track may be praying for rain!

[worm]

will they cancell on friday?

[uticamike]

The ROC date got rained on too you may remember. No make up there either and they had some open Sundays to race it. Stubby and JW just might be smiling with this news.

[gmac19]

it sucks to say but they really dont get anybody in the stands period. even with shangri la or however u spell it not racing saturday doesnt really matter..the track owner/promoter is praying for rain i bet..it sucks to say ....forcast keeps changin also

[chrome horn]

I heard they will be making a decision tommorrow around noon. Not an absolute , but that's the word I'm hearing

[kinserfan11]

I just watched the Local News Weather and they said ; a chance of a morning shower Sat Morning:cheers:; they some peeks of sunshine in the Afternoon:cheers:; then after 8pm another chance of rain after 10pm :mad: TS Danny should be out of here by friday nite:cheers: and whats left is another system out to west:mad: to bring that Morning Shower:mad:

Rain Postpones Whelen Modified Tour's Trip To Chemung

CHEMUNG, N.Y. – Due to a forecast for heavy rain Friday and Saturday, NASCAR and Chemung Speedrome officials have decided to postpone Saturday night’s NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour Chemung 120.

A makeup date for the event will be announced at a later date.

With this postponement, up next for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour will be the Budweiser 150 at Thompson International Speedway on Thursday, Sept. 3. The second of three trips for the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour to Thompson was originally scheduled for Aug. 13, but was moved because of weather.
