Best quote in a long time...........


"It was hard to tell how many fans came for the Modifieds, but, right after the Modified race people start leaving," Barber said. "That was the clue for me."

Thanks to LImodmaniac....lol

I like the Sept date but 4.5 days from Limerock to NHMS qualifying? That's a tight squeeze.

If Stafford and the MRS play along they'll schedule a race that Friday night so LI can stay in the same hotel for the whole weekend.

Yes! My dream is starting to come true.... next thing the million dollar point fund goes to the modifieds!!!

I was so sure South Boston was going to eliminate the K and N series also!!!!

LIModManiac makes things happen folks.

As someone who has spent many years going to see the Bush North/East and subsequent K&N Pro series at Lime rock, I'm saddened by the loss of the race, but maybe more so with what they did to the series in the last few years... Once the big money came in they killed it as a series a weekend warrior could run...

I did enjoy watching (and shooting) the Modifieds at Lime Rock and looking forward to seeing them run the road course again in 2011...

IMO, they need to bill it as an all Nascar weekend and run the track in reverse which would make it all left hand turns except for 1...

Billing it as an all NASCAR weekend would kill it. Notice the attendance at every other NASCAR Top Three race? There is an obvious divide between fender fans and open wheel fans. Fender fans just don't get it ;-) JK...Sort of.
