Thats' awesome. I'm glad it was a good event. it would be nice to see something good happenning race-wise up in the Northeast. E town might be nice to get in and out of, but the 4hrs of driving before the local traffic means i don;t go much. I'm sure Epping will get it figured out - as I said - the firs time I raced there ('88 I think?) there was one set of stands that was at the starting line and they were wood. Trees covered the entire "far side" of the track which helped block the winds on the big end. The pits were dirt and ran only the length of the track on the tower side... Very nice people but it was not a great entertainment experience. It was a place to race.

Exactly it's a place to race! People forget that without NEDW there would be nowhere to race at besides the streets. I applaud the effort and the good time I had.

As for traffic, I have no idea what the OP was talking about. I ended getting there kinda late yesterday and had to park in the rear most parking lot. It only took me 20 minutes to get out onto Route 101. I think they did a great job getting people out of there quickly. Has anyone been to Loudon for a NASCAR race? It takes a good 2 hours to get to the nearest highway not to mention the hour getting in the parking lots.

It's the first year for this event and i'm sure there will be major improvements and renovations to the track for next years race. They have put into place a 5 year improvement plan that includes: More seating, better RV/Camping area, A permanent big screen, local infrastructure improvements, and a small hall of fame/museum. Considering the way the track was years ago, its come a long way and going to be even better in the future.
