I didn't realize tracks covered drivers until I broke my back at Outlaw. An area track owner called me the next day and said "you know that piece of paper you sign every week when you go in the pits that you never read? Some of your costs will be covered." My health insurance from work covered the majority of the helicopter and hospital bills, and then the Outlaw Speedway insurance covered the rest.

Unless I'm mistaken, Brewerton and Fulton had some pretty open rules for FWD cars. Preludes are close to 200hp stock, and Acura RSX is close to 250 stock. Lots of aftermarket parts available. Unless the RWD are also open, I would think the FWD cars would walk all over them. If you get ahold of Donny Rider on Facebook, he might be able to give you some more info, he runs there in a FWD.

It also didn't help that the Suprick rig parked on the main road to the pits. Literally in the driveway. Apparently he didn't want to park in the mud, and threatened to leave. So it basically created a choke point for haulers trying to get through.

I've always said that tracks should have a handout of the general layout and directions that haulers should be parked when touring series come to town. Would cut down on the cluster in the pits.

The track was definitely the roughest track I have ever been on, not sure why water was being put down when it rained in the morning on Friday. I asked an official at about midnight if our 4 cylinder race was going to happen ( I had to work in the morning), and was told most likely because small cars could be ran late. At about 12:45 we were called to lineup, and they told the sportsman on the radio that they had 9 minutes to get as many laps in as possible and then it was going to be official. They ended that race at the curfew, and never came back on the radio to tell the 4 cylinder guys we were done as well. We left lineup when we saw the flagman packing up his flags.

There is another thing that the 4 cylinder guys need to know about and haven't received an answer on yet. The postponed show was an open rules show, using the same rules they used at the Dutch Hoag race at the end of the year. Pretty much open rules with show up points. The race this week is supposed to be normal rules and points. I messaged the track on Facebook to find out what rules are going to be used for the shows this week, and haven't gotten a response yet. Takes some time to switch things over, so hopefully they come up with a plan soon.

I always wonder why Outlaw does series with a track so far away, when Woodhull is much closer to Outlaw, runs on opposite nights and has the same classes with the same general rules. Just wish Woodhull and Outlaw would work together more often.

The old amateur class. Full body, stock location for suspension, $500 claimer on motors, street tires etc etc.

Clauson would definitely put on a show. That would be pretty cool.

Once we get my motor back to working the way it is supposed to, I will definitely make a trip down. I had a blast there. Well except for that one time. That wasn't much fun.

I think the 56x was Doug Kline. I saw a picture of the aftermath on his Facebook. I'm trying to remember the other cars involved.
