Whoa!

Important Notice: Due to insurance regulations and Northeast Dragway policy, spectators will not be allowed to be on the racing surface, including water box. Only 2 pit personnel will be allowed per race vehicle on track with wrist bands. Also no spectators will be allowed on either side of track guard rails. This is for the safety for all spectators...let's keep it safe.

Of course, it will depend on if it is actually enforced. It would be easy to make happen. Simply stop all the ontrack action until the spectators back off. Hope they stick to it. Take care. Tom Worthington

Tom.....I totally agree!
I was at OBX one time and they would not clear the line until you were rolling through doing your burnout and someone could have easily been hit.
People on the line hollering distracts the driver because he has no idea if they are hollering at him or the other driver.....just my observation.

Tom, I'm really glad that has changed. Might see you before the year is over.

Well, if the ground dries out (had rain today, Thursday), Northeast may be able to get their first bracket race of the season in this coming Saturday (March 30, 2024). Take care. Tom Worthington
