We are not camping, but will be there all 3 nights. Always a good time. Tri City is turned into a really nice place, and the staff is real nice.The racing is good.

I would be disappointed if you weren't Bob.

Enjoy the show this weekend.

Has anyone seen a micro run at Tri City? Do they put out on a good show, or are they too fast? (one lane racing?)

racenut69 · 10/2/13, 9:25 AM

I think the Micros would be better w/o wings..JMO!..

Very jealous of you guys making all three days, we're only making it down for the Saturday show, guess I need to plan my vacation days better lol. Hope weather cooperates all three days, but does anybody know if Sunday would be a rain out day if the Saturday program doesn't run? I know in the past if Thur. or Fri. races rain out they haven't gotten made up, but didn't know about Saturday since it's the big money day. Other thought I had was wish they could have incorporated the rained out Hut 100 race in some how, but just glad to catch another race yet this year, let alone one of the best events of the year!
