Division Stickers

Division stickers are now available at the tech area each night. All divisions are required to place them on a BLACK visor on the race car as stated in the rules. Some of you are trying creative ways to git away from the black vision but it is a required rule. You will be told to change it if you want to compete for points money. This is a very important item for the sponsor of each division. Scott

More info on the April 14th race

It has become apparent from the emails and the drivers that I have talked to that a few racers are not happy about the decision to reschedule the hobby main. First let me say that in the 5 years that I have operated the race track this is the first time I have came into this situation. Let me also say that I've have never been close minded in anything that we do at the track either. Because of this I'm looking into another way to make up this race then the first decision we made. The problem is no matter what we decide to do someone will not be happy or it will not fit someones weekend plans. Please bear with me as I will have a solid answer at the drivers meeting this weekend for another solution to offer for the hobby's and jr mini's. Thanks Scott

Rescheduling of main event from April 14th

Well it is safe to say mother nature got the best of us Saturday night. Due to the fact of not running main events puts us in a situation of trying to do whats best for all the drivers involved. We have made the decision to reschedule the main events for the Jr minis and the hobby stocks. The street stocks have not been determined at this point because I must talk with the director of that class to see what will be the best plan for them as they are not a home division. I have already spoke with IMCA and because we didn't run any heat races we will have to scratch the hole event and reschedule it for another date. I will look at all the other track schedules to see the best possible date to reschedule this event. We are in the process of working out the best situation to deal with the pit pass issue to give back what each teamed has already payed for. I will post up what we came up with and I will also send out a letter as well. Please understand it is not my intention to take any ones money that didn't get to race, but it will take a little time to review the sign in sheets and figure out what is owed to who. The main events for the Jr minis make up race will be May 12Th, and the hobby make up event will be May 5Th. We will start 30 minutes early on those nights and run the make up main events first then start the regular scheduled event after that. I would also like to thank the drivers that came out and helped get the track back ready to race after the first rain, with out that we could not have been able the complete what we did. Thanks Scott
