News From The Director's Desk!
I wanted to take this time to personally thank EVERYONE involved in making our races a success. The drivers and car counts have been above expectation for the first year of this series. The fans have been coming to our shows in amazing numbers and support. These are by far some of the best fans I have been associated with in a very long time. For this, I thank each and every one of you for your support!
Now, for the behind the scenes information. The Feathers family at Elkins Speedway has postponed the August 29th date due to a scheduling conflict with Tyler County. When we signed this date with Elkins, Tyler County had not posted their schedule yet. Of course as fate would have it, that is the weekend of the Hillbilly 100 at Tyler County. Wayne Feathers and I have both agreed that it would be in the best interest of the track to postpone the date and try and schedule something for September. Hopefully we can work a date into the schedule that works for all of us involved. On another note, there has been a huge interest from drivers and fans for us to go to Potomac Speedway. I have been in contact with the speedway and will work hard to make this happen. We are also interested in a possible North Carolina swing again in September. At this time, we are undecided on eastern or western Carolina. Eastside Speedway has approached me to discuss a possible return before the year is out as well as Natural Bridge Speedway. We will work on this also as to the possibilities of scheduling. Our next Scheduled event will be Winchester Speedway on August 30th unless we can secure something for the 29th. We are discussing additional sponsorship and awards for our Winchester event as well.
Plans are starting to get into full swing for the Xtreme 100 on October 17th and 18th at Winchester Speedway. We are looking forward to a FULL weekend of racing both nights. Look for some "xtreme" additions to the weekend.
It has also been brought to my attention that we had a new addition to our membership during the Eastside Speedway race. Greg Roberson had become a member and the paperwork had not been turned in to me for the points. After I had released the points already I feel like it would not be fair to go back and alter everyone's points after that event. What I have decided to do is keep all current positions at their amounts and give the 73 car his points also. By finishing second in that race, Greg would be awarded 200 points as our top finishing member. I will update the points as soon as possible. I apologize to Greg Roberson for the confusion and everyone else for not updating the website as frequently as I like to.
Thank you all and see you at the next event!
