And for the news...for those of you who haven't heard by now, as was announced at the Jasper driver's meeting, Brady and I along with Shawn McNary, have decided to work together to arrange a Summer Series. We all agree that in order to keep growing dirt track racing in Florida we need to help each other. We are stronger working as a group. In order to grow the dirt track community everyone needs to tell a friend about our racing and get them to come out and take a look. At the driver's meeting in Jasper, it was announced that the winner of each class would win $50 along with their plaque. In addition, Wade the track owner, drew a random number and awarded that rider $50. That rider was Dare Rambo of the Quad Open class. It was also announced that Shawn will coordinate and communicate classes and rules for the MC classes. As for me I will continue to negotiate race details with various tracks to fill out the racing calendar. I will also post a poll asking everyone what frequency should races be held; every weekend, every other weekend, every three weeks, or once per month. Now is the time to speak up. More news to come.
Dave
