Looks like Saturday will be a washout. The most recent report I heard called for clearing late morning on Sunday with sun in the afternoon.
If Saturday is a washout (I don't even plan to drive up there from R.I. tomorrow) will Saturday tickets be honored on Sunday with eliminations pushed to Monday? It seems to me that Saturday is the biggest draw at Epping drawing lots of families for the Night of Fire. If they lose Saturday's gate up there they will be taking a real financial hit.

Thanks for the kind words Steve, but we won't be running this year...Jack should be running Box ET

IHRA this season stands for It Has Rained Again.
Those guys have been taking a beating with the weather at almost every single race this year. It sucks.
Hoping for a miracle this weekend up in NH.

How thin was the crowd, George, given the late announcement of the Friday nitro round?
Stayed home today. Watching the radar, hoping I bet right and I get my $90 back. It was a very wet night and they are trying to dry the track up there with 100% cloud cover, fog and 95%+ humidity hoping to get on the track around noon and squeeze in one pro round. One good shower and they will be done for.
My apologies to anyone who headed there, but today I'm pulling for the rain.

First cars hit the track @ 11:30, Pro's moved up to 1:00pm, looking good so far, guess we'll see what the day brings.
Been @ this too long I guess, raced too many days when the forecast was 100%, been rained out too often with a 20%. Best remedy I've ever found is be @ the track and ready to race.

David, the crowd was very thin. There were no people sitting on the left side of the track and there were still plenty of seats left on pitside. We arrived late, just about 6:15 and we got to park in the front lot, with about 5 more rows to fill behind us. Didnt see anyone having to park in the upper lot. I raced 2 Nostalgia events there this year and it seems people dont have the extra money to go to the tracks this year.

5PM, Hanna has arrived, day @ Epping is complete.
One Pro session completed today, fields are set, schedule for tomorrow is to start approximately 10am (conditions permitting) with sportsman cars and then the Pro's at 11 has scheduled. Forecast for tomorrow looks to be good, and we'll run till we're done, see you then.

Your wish of luck worked and cost you your $90.00.
I applaud the decisions of IHRA to move the nitro sessions up and give everyone as good a chance as they could to qualify and to get the event ran this weekend to save everyone extra travel expenses. I know it is hurting IHRA's profits, and that is why the decisions are so worthy of merit in my book.

Sunday had the biggest crowd for eliminations that I've ever seen for this event. The stands were full. Normally on Sunday it's close friends and family.
New England Dragway staff did a great job getting the place ready to race after 3 inch's of rain.
Unfortunately there were no ScubaSteve sightings. Didn't get to ask Unkefer if he could do a "scuba shot".
