Has there been any thought as to the schedule for Friday? I'm probably "spoken for" that weekend, but would like to make the Stock Car race. It would be great if it was in the evening.

I was just in the area on business yesterday. About 20 minutes away at the Rt.73 interchange off the NJ Turnpike, there are a few decent-looking hotels in the $50-$60 range (Rodeway Inn and HoJo's)

I also stopped by SpeedZone to test my Stock Car. Turned in the 6.6s with a little too short of a gear. These things will be interesting at high speeds...

OMG, if his is the same Rodeway I, Larry, and Chris stayed in, remove it from all lists. The rooms are better described as closets, they never made the bed in three days and with a broken rollaway, you could not open the fridge, or sit at the table and this was, are you ready, "The Bridal Suite", buwahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh with a round bed, pillars, and mirrors on the ceiling. OMG! The biggest room they had too! ZERO service for three days. BAD MOTEL!

Don't think so, Rick. You were on the other side of the state.

Yeah, you were in the one in or near Beachwood. This one is closer to Philadelphia.

BTW: if anyone has family that's interested in tagging along, Philadelphia has a lot of interesting sight-seeing type stuff, including the Mutter museum (a lot of creepy medical artifacts...).

You may want to stay away from the duck boats, though.

Ask Jay Kisling what the hotel was that I stayed at when I was out there last April.... I don't remember the name, but it was really nice for the money.

Guys,

I cleaned this thread up a bit and the schedule is updated in the first post. The Friday schedule is the only one with changes where the racing will start later.

I will be donating a JD sports chassis to a random selected finishing position that I will provide Noose when I send the finished chassis to him.

This is the main event for East Coast Retro racing for 2010.

Mike would like to see everyone in Retro Racing come race in this event; it will be worth the trip. There is Da Sano, the Checkpoint Cup, now the Fall Brawl. Mike and Jay will welcome all and give you the best Retro racing environment you could ask for.

In these tough times for slot racing we need great raceways like this one. Come and join us.

I know Howie Ursaner is coming, hopefully maybe Tony P., Ron Hershmen, and others will attend. There are lots of Retro racers I haven't met yet, it would be Sano to see new faces show up.

All the speed, parts, comfort, and hospitality for a super race is at SpeedzZone hope to see you there! :good:

Nice picture.

Super-cool flat track.
I wish I was there running on it humming "Jungleland" or "Incident on 57th St".
