When do you think you might have the format posted with times, entry fees, etc?  I found the Thunder format from last February.  If it is there, please point me in the right direction!

We are working to get it posted ASAP. In general everything is the same as prior with the exception of entry fee are now $40/car do to rising facility costs.

The indoor format sheet has finally been updated and is posted on our website.
www.bqmra.com

The biggest change will be load-in/parking on Friday: starts approx 3pm. You need to line up side by side at the top of the hill next to the dirt floored shade shelter. Do not block the road or park in front of the Voinovich building. Note- as has always been the case prior; SSS Racing will be the first one in the bldg regardless of line-up order then it is first come first served where permissable based on assigned parking spots.

We look forward to seeing everyone this weekend- Safe travels to all!

If you are coming from the South or West do not take I 670 Eastbound to I 71 Northbound.  The detour will run you across city streets.  Take I 70 Eastbound to I 71 Northbound through downtown.  Hopefully you like orange.

Format/Schedule Correction:

We had a typo on the format sheet and website prior regarding sign-in schedule on Sat morning. The correct info is: CLOSE AT 0900 NOT 0930 as listed prior.

Good luck to all this weekend. Thanks!

I've been missing the handlers meetings due to my little guy in novice so I'm not completely up on the latest.  Was there a rule implemented that puts lapped cars to the tail during a late race restart?  Any body have any insight if that's right or not?

Jeff,   NO there is NOT a rule that puts lapped cars to the tail anytime during the race.

That's good.  More rumors I guess.  Thanks Eric.

Maybe more than a rumor at one time. But after further discussion they decided not to have that rule for 2012.

I have a friend coming to race and he wants to know what right side tires are good for Jr. cars.

Thanks,

Mike-

Greetings to you sir, "a friend coming"... I think you should change that to "we're bgring an entire convoy of families and coming to race the Buckeye Indoors..." Now doesn't that sound much better!!!

To answer your question: first there is NO spec tire rule; as long as it is NOT treated, you can it! Second, The main tires we have been seeing are A35, D20, D30 and Burris... so I guess choose your poison and bring it on!

Take care and safe travels on your way to Columbus!

A note to those looking to attend the final indoor event of the year Feb 25/26 and may be needing a hotel. Apparently there was a question prior regarding the Baymont Inn and the # of rooms reserved: originally they were holding up to 15 rooms for our events. That has been increased to 20 rooms AND if they have vacancies beyond our 20 room hold, they will honor the discounted rate for our event participants. Interpretation: IF they have a spot for you then you are locked in at the discount rate for your stay. Just be sure to use the code: Buckeye Quarter Midget.

RESERVE YOUR ROOMS EARLY!
