2 S/SS races November 2-3 Hagerstown MD, $2K to win Nov 3rd

[Mike Carr]

Yes, it is a 1/4 mile track. We've had several 145-155 mph cars, with no stopping issues, in the past.

I want to thank D-1 Comp racers Ronnie and Jeff Boyd. They are posting $250 into the race purse(s) for the weekend. Fifty dollars ($50) to the racer with the Long Distance Tow for the weekend, and $100 into each days' race purse. Thank you guys so much for your support!

Also, if any other racers or companies want to get involved, let me know.

It only looks short because the timing and mph boards are located at half track.

I just got off the phone with the Super 8 in Hagerstown (on U.S. 40, aka Dual Highway, same road as the track, about 5-6 miles or so west on 40). Rooms are $59.99 plus tax for Friday and Saturday night. But, if you mention the Mason-Dixon Race, the rate is $54.99 plus tax for those nights, so be sure to mention the Mason-Dixon Race for that lowered rate.

Phone number is (301) 739-5800 for the Super 8.

I want to thank Carl Schodde Jr for his support this season. He's been tied up with work and projects and has only been able to race once with us this year. He has generously contributed his entry fee into each race purse this year, and is doing so for Hagerstown too. So far, with Carl and the Boyd family, we will have an extra $400 for the weekend purses from them; the Boyds are contributing $250 ($100 into each race plus a $50 award for the weekend's Long Distance Tow) and Carl's $150.

Also, be sure to thank our sponsors Jim Evanuik, Jim Lydon and Jan Cavacini. These gentlemen each posted $800 into our Association ($2,400 total, divided up into individual race purses and year-end Points Series), so with their help, there is another $300 into the weekend races ($100 Saturday and $200 Sunday).

And, if anyone else is interested in posting any money/awards for the weekend, please let me know.

I know we are still five days away from the weekend. But, as of this afternoon, weather forecast looks really good according to wunderground.com

Sunny Saturday, 61 high/43 low
Mostly sunny Sunday, high 54 low 37.
Best thing, zero % chance of rain either day. I will take that weather.

With the extra money, if we can equal our best ever car counts for each race, payouts will be:

Saturday $50 race with 41 cars
3rd round - 50
4th round - 100
5th round - 200
Runner-up - 500
Winner - $1,000

Sunday $100 race with 63 cars
3rd round - 100
4th round - 200
5th round - 500
Runner-up - 1,300
Winner - $2,700

All for a total weekend entry fee of $190 (30 Sat test and tune, 50 S/SS race, 10 Sunday tech card and 100 S/SS race).

And, as always, more cars/sponsors = bigger purses = better payouts

We are looking for a big turnout this weekend for our Lee Sherman Memorial stock / super stock combo event. Elmer and all of our staff have been looking forward to this event for weeks now. All of us love class racing and nothing beats hard charging wheelstanding stock / super stock cars going at it on our track. This year track prep has been outstanding in just about any racing conditions, the hook should be there! We have talked this event up over the PA and on our website for weeks and our race fans know what is coming this week. We gave out half price pit passes for the event to all race fans that attended our very big well attended diesel truck event this past weekend. This year we made some track improvements, scales now are operational but the biggest upgrade is our new Daktronics LED scoreboards, these boards are terrific. We all look forward to seeing all of you this weekend, we are counting the days!

I will likely be up there on Sunday just to spectate. We were having some brake issues with the Bounty Hunters '64 Polara NSS car and had sent everything back to Aerospace for them to go through since I don't know the history on any of it, and 2 days later I found out about this race. Might have to make it to a couple of events next year as time/money allows.

[Matt Welker]

Looking for crew help on Saturday during the test and tune. Must be able to operate a video camera and old enough to stand on the starting line.
