This works great for me (and a few others)... Not so much.
I couldn't make Kenosha so I was looking forward to going to Cordova and bringing a trailer full of parts to sell off. I may just go anyway. Less the trailer full of parts of coarse. |

Some of us are still planning to go to Cordova for that weekend, NAMDRA or not. The Friday racing was always the usual time runs and gambler's races anyhow. The Saturday morning runs may not happen if we don't have enough cars for them to pay their track officials. But the afternoon program and the Sunday start for the Hot Rod Drag week should make it worth the trip. Hope to see you there!!!!

BRING THE PARTS. Like many others dozens and dozens I go for the swap and show. Besides, my race car is still on stands waiting for me to get time to put the front suspension back together with disk brakes from my donor car. It's obvious to those who choose to observe that the swap and show are big draws. Compare numbers - cars on tracks vs. show cars vs. swap/vendors. (Some will refuse to see the other parts as important, of course) I know a pair of fellows who for the past two years came to the meet from the NY area- so tell me the swap does't draw a diverse and large group of people. |

And that's where there is confusion - some say cancelled at Kenosha, while others say no, that has changed since then.
Which is it?? Some say it's one, some point clear back to Kenosha and a sign saying cancelled. I talked to a postal worker at Kenosha who said she carried mail related to NAMDRA, etc. (didn't say WHO was on her route) but she said "looks like it's on" and others at Kenosha also said it's on. It seems even NAMDRA members are giving mixed signals. I've been on boards of clubs, and have served on business boards including Farm Bureau (and talk about things that could get heated) - and have never seen anything like this. My wife did a Google search the other day as she wanted the dates and found SEVERAL sites showing it as still on, listing dates, etc. so on or not, there WILL be many people there. To not have it an official notice has to be mailed out to all past attendees - otherwise people will be doing what she did and finding the dates - and going since there is no official cancellation other than "I saw a sign" somewhere. Until or unless an official notice goes out, people WILL go and if it's been cancelled and people not duly notified, there will be #%@$ to pay for sure. Trust is already gone. |

You are right Bill, it is hard to keep up with the confusion.. LOL! From my understanding.... Jock cancelled the NAMDRA Nationals 2017 in Cordova - (I wonder if the track knows this). There was rumor that some people are going anyway just to test, tune and have some fun. I am one of those going anyway on Friday for the Friday night and Saturday drags as a spectator. New rumor! - I hear that there is a AMC Drag day scheduled for October 8 at Great Lakes Dragaway in Kenosha. I guess this is on facepage. I am not on there much so, I don't know for sure. |

Confusion is an understatement but here is what I understand. NAMDRA president officially cancelled 2017 AMC Cordova event. Former NAMDRA V.P. confirmed the track has been notified of cancelled event. Some members/people are still going unofficially. Local Kenosha racer Joe B.has confirmed Oct.8 at Great Lakes Dragaway for end of season AMC racing.
One thing worth noting is I received my NAMDRA membership renewal notice by mail two weeks ago. It did not contain any information about recent developments- good, bad, or otherwise. Edited by steinercj5 - Aug/29/2017 at 8:35am |

I don't do fakebook all that much. Now and then I hit it for things - but not often. It gets totally annoying when you get a thousand messages that Joe Smith posted a picture of his puppy and Sally responded. Ugh. (and you can't shut them off, really shut them off or filter them like it says you can. |
