Glen ridge
« on: June 04, 2017, 04:00:49 PM »
I'm not sure what's going on with this track but in my opinion it's complete bull that this track was awarded an imca sanction and skyline had theirs revoked.  By no means is this a slam against any imca supporters of glen ridge but it seems the class is already on the chopping block.  Skyline should get their sanction back it's the best thing for the survival of the class in nys it gives another option for those southern tier drivers on Friday that don't live anywhere near outlaw or the hill.  I know skylines numbers have not been great but with a sanction I think it would recover this season. Just my opinion.

I wish they would sanction any track which requests it, but that's not how they operate. It's my understanding they avoid sanctioning tracks within 100 miles of each other and Outlaw has a sanction and is closer to Skyline than 100 miles. Don't ask me to explain the whole Five Mile Point/Skyline sanctioning deal when they both ran Saturday nights. As far as Glen Ridge is concerned, it makes sense from the perspective of IMCA, it's not near any other track that runs the class so it would reintroduce the class into the Capital Region. As far as I know The Hill doesn't have IMCA sanction so they are in the same boat as Skyline.

I could be wrong, but I don't think that The Hill is IMCA sanctioned either.
