I hope everyone had a Happy new Year and everyone's ready to race this year.  Our season will kick off on Saturday, May 6th and Sunday, May 7th.  we have cut down on the amount of races this year because of the high cost of fuel and expenses.  Hopefully everyone can make it out to all of our races.  If you look at the schedule, we only have one weekend of racing in July and two races in August.  We did this because of the heat.  I know it is hard on drivers, cars, and track employees.

We will be holding two 4-speed races this year.  We will be holding a king of street race again this year.  Big O Tires of Sterling has decided to do away with the Big O Tire Top Eliminator race this year, and instead will giving a gift certificate to the winners of Sportsman, Pro, and Super Pro of every points race redeemable at their Sterling store.

After doing a survey of the local tracks around us on their payouts for Sportsman, Pro and Super Pro, we will base our payouts the same way, which depends on the car count of each class.  Car count will be based on a 16 car field per class.  You may at this time, reserve your parking space for 2006; cost is $25 per space.  You may also pay your membership for points now - cost is $30.  Remember you will not receive any points until it is paid.  Any points earned before you pay will be lost for the season.  You can send your payment to the address listed below.

I have put together a summary of what it costs us to run a race and the car count needed to break even.  If you are interested in knowing what it takes to run a race, let me know, and I will send you a copy or it will be available at the races.  For a recorded track announcement before each races, call the track number at 970-474-3779.  Or you may call me for any track questions or any other matter at 970-463-0923.  See all of you at the first race and good luck this season!

Thank You,
Bill Schneider
