Oktoberfest Classic Features Cancelled
Dear Race Fans, Competitors and Sponsors
It is with heavy heart that I must inform you that we will be unable to run the Oktoberfest second day events this year. Due to the enormous amount of rain in the past month, the pits and parking lot are in a flooded condition, and it is impossible to stage the event. Several of the Series are unable to return past this weekend, so it is not possible to reschedule to a later date. Any person that has a two day ticket for this event may use the ticket for entrance at the beginning of the 2007 season. I am very sorry for any inconvenience. I hope to see you all in 2007. Lets hope it will be a much drier season.
Why can the ticket only be used at the beginning of next season?
This is just another in the long line of decisions made over the years at Flamboro that has turned away so many fans and competitors.
Agreed, just another fine example of poor decision making at Flamboro. I guess the weather last week wasn't good enough for them ? Couldn't have had a better fall day than last Saturday. I think it is because many cars had decided not to attend that it was cancelled. BTW, Casselle has all of our 2-day ticket money now but is he going to pay out any purse money ? And now my $45 ticket can get me into a regular show at the start of next season ? BS. I didn't pay that price for low car counts, few out of towners and no SLM and an admission to next years openner. Another fine example of why I don't travel to Flamboro very often. Sure, weather was a problem but that's no excuse. Like I said last Saturday was a great day for racing, why was it called off ?????????? 😡 👿 😈
Last Saturday was wet in teh Waterdown/Flamborough ares, but Sunday wasn't. Methinks John got his wish and will make a few extra buck without runing the features. He better be paying out to all teams that qualified.
How about the Limited Late Model drivers - they are not even a regular class at Flamboro - when will they get to use their pit passes?
