This November 10th, Sunday is the rainout date for the Buick Performance Weekend racing at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ. It will definately be a packed day as there will be two other rainout date events being held on this day. We were advised to get there early. Entry fee I believe is $30 and there is no extra fee for the Quick 16 Program and there are no by-backs for first round losers. As always the race program is run by the track where as we have little control over the logistics of the day. On the flip side they do work with us when there are any problems. The racing like always on Sundays, is open exhaust if you so please. The posted Buicks classes and winnings are as follows: V-8 Buick Bracket Class: Winner, $100 Runner-Up $ 50 V-6 Class: Winner, $ 100 Runner-up $ 50 Quick 16 Bracket Style Buick Class: (Must be Buick Powered and door slammers, and no corp. engines, can run juice and all electronics) First Round (8) losers get: 0 Second Round (4) Losers get: $ 100 each Third Round (2) Losers get: $ 300 each Runner-Up (1) gets: $ 700 Winner gets: $ 1,300 Low Qualifier: $ 250 Total Sponsored Payout from the Club is $3250.00 The Buick Bracket Class payouts are sponsored by Raceway Park. The Payouts in the Bracket Style Buick Quick 16 Class are sponsored by 13 Major Sponsors of the Buick Performance Weekend. All sponsorship moneys to the Northeast GS/GN Club are 100% payed back into the Quick 16 Program. Now I believe there will be a Quick 8 or something of the sort with the GN v. Mustang Shootouts. The winnings of this is pre-set by the track and organized by the track. Also any participants running in the Mustang v. GN Shootout cannot also run in the Quick 16 Program. This rule is pre-set by the track. Hope this info helps out. Hope to see you all there! Rick Martinez
