I am just curious, what do we INEX classes get for our entry fee each week? We are paying more this year, have no purse and now do not even get hardware for top 3 finishes as in years past?
So far the changes are not agreeing with me! That charger in the garage is looking more like a dirt or Havasu car every week!

I talked to Tim today on the phone. He told me that as far as he knew, as for trophies and plaques, nothing has changed. He said as far as he knew, only 1st place ever got hardware. I explained that Friday 1st and Saturday top 3 has been the normal. He is looking into it.
I also asked him about possibly running the bando's 20 laps in 12 minutes. He said he would look into that as well, but was doesn't think the "fan" would want to watch 20 laps. More to come on this, perhaps even some questions to others of us to get an idea of everyone's thoughts.

I like the 20 lap idea for sure, but don't think that will ever happen. Hopefully asking for 20 will get them 15!

As of sunday afternoon, they plan on running both age groups together. They will find out how bad that could be. When the 19 and 34get hooked up drafting, they will be gaining on back cars by 15mph. That is a huge difference for an 8 year old to understand.

we as well talked to tim about trophys for top 3. If LVMS wont pony up for the kids, were working on a sponsor to make that happen. It takes 4 minutes of green to run a 12 lap bando race. Its not our fault the fields are small. In 5 1/2 years of year round racing, we've missed 1 race. We supported 600 & LVMS on all fridays, saturdays, sundays, even wednesdays. Bullring, road course, 1/4 mile. We paid the pit pass fees, transponder fees, track fuel fees. Myself as well as many other dads have gone out of their way to help other kids to get up to speed so they dont get dejected and quit. I've loaned out our car several times just to make sure no kid misses a race. ALL I want is our 4 minutes, after the national anthem, not at 5:30. Come to Havasu, guaranteed to have a good time!

I agree with underdog!! We have benefitted from their generousity in loaning us their back-up car to get us out there. It took longer last week to have the Jelly Belly wheely car out there than it did to run the outlaw race! Keep them apart and after the national anthem. If you guys need some more money to rustle up the plaques for 2nd and 3rd let me know and I will talk to my sponsors. Also, it seems Tim has is excuses down already. Pretty impressive to be able to talk his way out of things like that, and in only his first season. If some one says to me "As far as I know" that is one sure way to tell if some one is lying. If they guy does not know what is going on, then he shouldnt be running the track! Mike Stafford where are you?  |

As was announced @ drivers meeting, our sponsors have pick-up the tab for trophies and/or plaques for second and third. Couldn't wait for LVMS for a decision. Thanks to all those involved with ENEOS oil. I thought it was great that they got something for the last place finisher as well as the winner. It looks as though our "bandit" obligation fell through. If anyone knows an "outlaw" driver who wants to drive, let me know. Gotta keep car count up!

Thanks guys! You went above and beyond going out to secure a sponsor for the trophies. I know a bandit that may want to drive, unfortunately there doesnt seem to be too many outlaw age kids out there ready to drive.
Let's talk next race if you are interested in putting a Bandit in the second car!

What you get for your money. A wrist band made out of paper for two days not a plastic one like the old days. Your kid gets 12 laps or 12 mins. The old days the kids got 1st 2nd and 3rd place plaques. This year 1st place only.
You also have to pay for a transponder You have to buy track fuel at there price and the kids can get plaques up to third place.
ENEOS is mine and my sons sponsor for the 911 Bando & 69 Charger
I would like to thank John Keller at John Keller Race Engines & Jardon & Josh at ENEOS OIL for a great idea. If anyone needs Eneos oil I have it at my pit or John Keller has it at his shop. Eneos oil reps are at the race track in the pits if you have any questions about the products.

I got a driver now to run our other car for the rest of the season. May still need another for friday nights. Trying to work out a deal to rent out one of the 29 cars O hanley has. I know its tough for everone to make it on fridays. Just trying to get max points for nationals. Vinnie... THANKS again to your sponsors!! It wasnt long ago when we were the slowest car out there. Winners get all the glory, its cool to see the other kids get some recognition. As times are tough for you guys, if you need anything for jr's car, please dont hesitate.

understood. If it weren't for our sponsors, we wouldn't make fridays as well. Hopefully car counts can improve, but its tough.
