Great START IN 2010 FOR ROC AND MRS

[MOD11RACER]

Maybe. But why would a big tour like WMT get a race date at Monadnock? IMO, one of the crappiest facilities in the northeast. They are competing for track time and fans. Rumor has it that the MRS has for many years tried to get race dates at Stafford but were told no because WMT reps had threatened to pull out of stafford if they offered them any dates.

The forty car problem is gonna be a real problem, no doubt.

MXCHAMP04: You are kidding right ? Larry and his staff have done a great job with that race facility and they run Tour Type Modifieds every other week. To call it one of the crappiesy facilities in the northeast is nuts and don't forget the MRS used to race there 5 times a year and the races were all pretty good.

The Stafford quote (Rumor ?) is also ridiculous if that statement was true then way hasn't NASCAR left Thompson. I wonder if you are a fan of the Modifieds or you are a fan of the Outlaw Late Models who are being replaced by the Modifieds and is sore about not racing at Monadnock anymore.

SUfan: You are correct about the combo deal. Would have like to see the two tours do two separate races on the same date.

'The track would never be considered for a WMT race since they are not NASCAR sanctioned"


SUfan, not sure that matters, as neither is Lime Rock and the WMT is racing there

Sounds like they could have a b main. I was wondering about the restarts ROC has single file 'the only thing I hate about ROC series' and MRS has double file, hope they go with MRS way. Went to Albany on ROC weekend, wasrunning late didn't think make it to oswego on time was pretty nice didn't relise was seeing last dirt race. can't wait to see it as asphalt should be pretty racey. I have seen some pretty good races at Monadnock also looking forward to WMT race there been awhile.

The R.o.C. Tour actually has double file restarts up to the half way point. I am sure that something will be figured out as far as any rules that need to be adjusted. This is a real cool idea. It is a smart move making it race #1 on the year for the R.o.C. Tour. If the rest of the events are in Central & Western NY, having the race with the longest travel in April may allow for more teams to chalk it up and make the trip. Teams tend to start the year planning on running the entire season, but crashes and bad finishes which lead to less money, tend to change the plans mid season. I think this is the best date to get as many C & WNY teams to ENY.

Monadnock facilities are crappy IMO. The pits are small. Not sure how they are gona fit all those big rigs. The stands are practically falling apart.

Not a mod fan. Are you kidding. I went to every WMT race this year except Bristol and Martinsville, and almost every True Value race that did not conflict with the WMT. And I said that WMT reps made the threat, not NASCAR, so you might wanna be careful what you say without reading properly. I don't even know what outlaw late models are.

Roc, roc, roc, .....

I think calling Monadnock crappy is off base. No, its not Stafford, Thompson or Seekonk but crappy?....no way. The pits are fine and the stands (falling down???) where did you get that?. The promotor there is working very hard to keep weekly Mod racing going and should be commended. You wanna see crappy? I'lL show you some real crapholes in NYS if you want crappy.

OMG........lol Did I hear Geoff Bodine mention crappy when he talked about Monadnock during one of the races on TV this year...... Let me tell you they have awesome show and even if the old riverside bleachers were falling apart I'd risk it!!!!! My only complaint about the place is it's easier to get a beer than a burgar there and since I don't drink I may be in the minority with that complaint........lol Was it Rick Fuller that went over the wall out of turn 2 the last time the tour ran there and if I remember right it was Jeff that dumped him. I also remember Ed Spencer putting a floor jack though Jeff's hood on the scales...........OMG what I'd give for the old days sometimes!!!!! Make sure the JET has 4 stickers for this race!!!!!
