With the august arDC/usac races coming up.... any chance of guys bringing some small cars east in June?

I doubt there will be many. can't sayf or sure. Doesn't ARDC ban the Toyotas?

ARDC opened up the motor rules before the 2014 season.

ARDC is only running at Grandview and Port Royal during Eastern Storm. Neither of these tracks are on the eastern midget swing, so I don't see them bring a midget along too.

dang, that stinks, i thought they were together more than twice.

They had been in the past but ARDC and Susquehanna had a major disagreement last year. Susky still has TBD listed for their support class for the USAC Sprint race.

Bring a midget to those races from the Midwest... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA We were considering racing for these races..... until I read their rule book. Get out ur calculator. Ready. Set. Go:

Temp permit for driver: $50 .... for one race
Temp permit for car owner: $30.... for one race
Buy expensive Hoosier tires, all for corners including SP 3 or 4 which is the odd ball out: About $700
Start in the rear of every race including the feature. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Cost of travel, fuel ETC: $400 or more.
Pit pass: $60-?

From what I have seen so far this season, ARDC car count is WAY, WAY down. Like in the low teens. Gosh... I wonder why......

How bad do you want to see my car show up out East? I'll be glad to take ur sponsorship money and fund this trip. Private message me. THX!!

at one point, the toyota and "stewart" chevy were the exceptions to the engine rules update. they were banned in the rulebook. i just checked and the rulebook doesnt say anything about them being banned.

counts are off so far this year but 21 cars raced at grandview saturday and there are more sitting idle (so far).
as far as the expenses, i am going out on a limb here and saying that since the usac/ardc show is co-sanctioned, if you are a member of either club, you wouldnt need a TP and in the interest of a fair fight, handicapping would be restructured to allow non members as much of a chance as ardc members. tire costs....both clubs run the same tire except that ardc mandates a 3 or 4....maybe that will be waived as well....either way, some folks are gonna have to buy tires and if you plan to run up front, no matter where you race, you probably would buy at least 1 new tire anyway. pit passes anywhere are in the 20-35 range. nothing different there.....whittle it all away and you are left with possible travel costs and realistically not much else. hope to see you at the races.

Thx for the invite but we will not be there in June or for the ARDC/USAC races. Read my original post again for the multiple reasons, especially starting in the back. That is just totally laughable to say the least. And I had planned on racing at Mercer which is almost in my backyard but you will see a snowball in July before I start every race on the tail. You will need cars for that race. Count us out. Thx.
