Ed Pensyl (who sponsored part of Eldora's race) sponsors/runs an independant event in Feb - see info below & register online effective today. it is in Harrisburg PA at the Farm & Horse Show Complex - on concrete - indoors (& usually heated). It's a fun 2 day event! There are a lot of other auto related racing and events this weekend.
www.motoramaevents.com Motorama 2011, takes place on the weekend of Feb. 19 & 20, 2011
This is the 15th Annual Event!
Last year we had a whopping 245 cars. Online Pre-registration as always, will again start at 12:00 AM on Nov. 1, 2010.
This year, we are proud to announce that we will be using an electronic scoring system! There is a place on the applications online for you to put your transponder #, if you have your own. Transponders will be available for the weekend rent of $10.00/weekend also, and a box on application for this also. A valid driver's license WILL BE REQUIRED, to rent a transponder. This will happen Saturday am, upon arrival.
We will again, as last year, limit the number of entries, due to space in building. 250 cars max.
The same format as always, will apply:
1 - We run off of the previous years rules.
2 - If your driver has moved up in class at the end of previous year, apply for current class(es) running.
3 - Although we do offer Jr. & Sr. novice classes, we due expect your driver to hav at least 3 races ran, as we DO NOT offer novice training.
4 - Full Tech & Safety will be enforced.
5 - Upon arrival - it is the Handler's responsibility to make sure the brakes and throttle works, and the belts are w/in 5 yrs date. We WILL NOT be inspecting cars. ALL cars must be safe by the Pit Stewrd's call
6 - Any helmet is allowed - D.O.T, or better, NO SMOKE TINTED SHIELDS allowed, AMBER/Yellow is ok
7 - Gloves - Must be worn! ANY style/brand. Race Jackets are strongly recommended.

9 - At current time - only QMA classes are available. There are no Brigg's Animal/Usac classes at this time.
10 - Only 87 octane/Pump fuel is allowed, except for classes that allow alchohol.
11 - Transponder location is -------------------as per QMA rules --------------- front leading edge of transponder @ 40 - 44". I always reccommend 42" to front leading edge - from front edge of front bumper.Tarnsponder clip - MUST BE securely attached - i/e - pop rivets or bolts

For my 2 cents - this is our 3rd year doing this race - it's fun. Also:
There are several hotels around & they sell out quick, but right next door (within walking distance literally) is Staybridge Suites - for convenience I recommend this (has free bkfst & heated pool too).
