            Great News Dino. I Am The Person Responsible For Pushing These Folks To Come Out Here To Dragrace There Real Nostalgia Type DragBikes 😎 Nobody I Know Was Happy Seeing Snowmobiles And Anything Newer Like The Streetbikes That Kept Showing Up Each And Every Year In What Was / Is Supposed To Be At True Nostalgia Dragbike Only Class. So Before All Those 2016 Dover Dragstrip Nostalgia Dragrace Flyers And Posters Are Made Or Go Out. Would It Be Possible To Advertise The Motorcycle Class To Show A Cutoff Of Motorcycles That Are 30 Years And Older Only. Thanks FASTLANE 😀 A True Nostalgia Dragbike Competitior And Owner Of Three 1976 And Older Harley Dragbikes 😉

                Chris…It’s specifically stated on Racer Info..NO STREET BIKES…And last 2 years NO OPEN Track Test & Tune…All Cars Must be entered in a DOVER Elim Or…Be with NETO-NENDRA or East Coast GASSERS> …We Will Have A Sign AT TECH lane stating those regulations No ‘Tuners-Imports-Street Bikes-snowmobiles-ATV’s. .OUR Bike ELIM >is For Drag Bikes Only…no year cutoff…that would cut out half of them…These Guys are not Running In Elim…unless they want to.Wayne said they’de do their own Exhibition Runs with Match races.They Jus comin to ‘play” .

                    O.K. So Then I Guess My Question Would Be Do They Pay Just A Regular Racers 35 dollar Entry Fee ? Or Because There Exhibition Only Will There Be Any Or No Charge For Them To Race That Weekend ? Anytime There Were Exhibition Vehicles At The Dragstrip The Track Booked Them In And Paid Them From What I Remember. Not Saying That They Should Expect Or Recieve Any Funds 😆

                        This Ain’t Dover…I don’t own the track, and don’t have Track budget like Dover Did and Lebanon does.If you remember …Dover charged more to Spectators for Special Events…Little History Here…If the Show-series or match race was high…the Spectator Gate Fee reflected that.Same For any Track.Lebanon’s “Night of Fire” cost big bucks …so the Spectator will pay to cover. All our groups come in with no charge to the track….Or Me,cause I ain;t got it. We have never have and will never raise Gate prices for The Dover Event and Wayne -the Track manager has agreed to charge the LOWEST race car/bike entry fee,that is his cheapest Test & Tune rate for our Race..Look at track schedule…you’ll see higher fees for different events.They Called and wanted to run..They’ll pay regular entry fee and go through regular Tech,Just Like NETO, Nendra & East Coast Gasser’s. First question I asked ,was “will All bikes pass NHRA tech? They said Yes,have done it many times before ,out in midwest. AND what do you need to attend….His Answer was> Nothing.They like the other groups can decide for themselves ,how they run their own program.I will, as a courtesy ,’take care of them’ in some form or fashion….That’ll be between Me and the Groups director.
