...and I will hand off what's left of the money after a trip to Sephora :P

Jk....just look for the Silver Camaro with the .90 Nationals logo on the side. I have a stacker and a green motorhome and sometimes a yelping puggle. I will be at the Maple Grove Divisional all three days and Englishtown Wednesday afternoon and on depending on when we're done for the weekend. I will gladly take your entrance and hand it right off to Rob.

Just throwing out a friendly reminder that we are slowly approaching the 1st cut-off date for the Nitroplate 90 Nationals. The first cutoff date is June 1st and the amount is $165.00. I know a few people don't like to pre-enter in-case something comes up or the weather is ugly and that is totally understandable. After the June 1st cut-off the amount goes to $180.00 and the next cut-off for that is August 1st and then at the gate is $200.00.

I will be at Maple Grove this Sunday for the Lucas Oil Event to do some promoting and collect any entries just in case after that I will be at E-Town on just Thursday to watch the sportsman guys and girls at the Summernationals. I will mostly be hanging out at Kelli Barbato's rig or just driving around in the golfcart so come find me or her. She and Chase Fahnestock are also sporting the .90 Nationals Stickers on their car for the next few weeks...So a big thanks to them for helping to promote the event!

For all those who haven't been to Numidia since the 90 Nationals event last June, once again Bob and his crew have put more money into the track for you - the racers! New Concrete Burnout boxes were installed in early May and the staging lanes on the tower side were extended all the way out to the concession stand is. Still awaiting to see the final product but, I'm sure it will be awesome. Bob has also extended the fence out on the cold side of the track and cross our fingers we will be parking overflow there this year!

Look for Super Gas Racer Kelli Barbato & Super Comp Racer Chase Fahnestock this weekend at Maple Grove & E-Town who will be sporting the .90 Logo on their car and Crazy Keith Mayers who will sport the logo at the Pittsburgh IHRA Race next weekend. All 3 were at the event last year and if your on the fence just ask them how much fun they had.....

Congrats to Chase Fahenstock and Kelli Barbato who went deep at the LODRS at Maple Grove. Both drivers were flying the .90 Nationals Logo on their cars. Chase went to the finals and came so close to winning against Lee Ream and Barbato went to the Semi's in Super Street.

Look for those 2 at E-Town this weekend and Keith Mayers will be sporting the logo at the IHRA race at Pittsburgh this weekend!

Remember boys & girls tomorrow is the last day for the 1st cut-off on the 1st pre-entry of $165.00! It maybe only a small amount but, hey $35.00 bucks is $35.00. If you want to pre-enter at Englishtown this weekend you can stop over and see Kelli Barbato. She is located over on the pro stock pit side right where the smaller grandstand starts. Silver S/G Camaro (Park next to Tom Stalba's Comp Car and SG Car). If not you can mail it to me.

One of the bigger complaints I hear about when we go to Numidia is that there is no hotels close to the track for those of you who don't have the big fancy RV's in today's racing to stay at. Over the past few days I've struck a deal with Hampton Inn in Bloomsburg to offer a discounted rate to all the racers who are coming up for the 90 Nationals who travel back and forth to the track. The hotel is about 12 miles from the track. You will have till August 25th to reserve a room at the special rate for this event. The phone number is 1-570-380-1020 and refer to the "90 Nationals" when you call to reserve. They will have 30 rooms set aside for us for the event.
Thanks to Stock Racer Jeanne Linke who gave me this idea to look into!

Also I spoke with Rob Jackson - aka Robzneed4speed Videos's will once again be joining us up at Numidia on the 13th & 14th. Rob will spend the morning of the 13th (During T&T) to go around the pits and talk with the racers about their cars. He will then bunker down and shoot the Comp Cams Shootout on Friday Night and then as he did last year Rob will do all the videoing for the 90 Nationals along with winners interviews like he did last year.

Sorry guys about not posting sooner...got some mid-spring flu bug that's kept me down the past 72 hours but, the 1st cut-off date has past for the pre-entry into the the 90 Nationals and I must say a very nice outlook so far for this event. The next cut-off is August 1st for the entry of $180.00. If all goes well this weekend I should be at Leb Valley the following weekend for the Lucas Oil Event playing crew for a buddy of mine in T/D.

Happy 1 year anniversary to the 90 Nationals! It was today 1 year ago that the dream became a reality as we opened the gates for the free test and tune and Comp Cams Shootout! What started out as a little joke on Classracer back in 2011 as Lee & Brian were putting together the Combo in the Hills event to a "Why isn't there a big .90 race for us" to where we are today has been a big dream that I only hope that gets bigger.

Of course I have to thank all the racers who made this happen because without you showing up and supporting the event there would not be one. So a big THANK YOU to all the racers and sponsors who have made this possible. Also to the Dimino family and Numidia Dragway for taking on my dream and making it a reality. Bob was one of the 1st people I called when I was thinking of putting this event together because he is a "racer" and understands what we go through week after week. For him to push everything aside and make this event one of his top priorities means a lot to me and thanks for taking on a young promoters dream and making it become what it is today.

Last but, not least I have to give special THANKS to the Donhausers (George, Linda, Ashlee & Friends), Big Al, the Crew at the Moose Lounge and Harple Family for all their support for this event. To allow me to place this event in "Uncle Bucks" memory was a special thing for all of us. You may have never met "Uncle Buck" but, to just be near this crowd for 10 minutes and you will realize that he was one special guy as they welcomed everyone in with open arms. Thanks for all that you do for us racers to make us feel like one of the gang!

Also thank you to anyone whom I may have forgot along the way. Also thanks for all the help in promoting (Keith Mayers, Kelli Barbato, Chase Fahenstock) who carried the logos on their cars to help get the word out. Thanks also to stock racer Jeannie Linke who has helped me on the marketing side of things and steered me in the direction of avenues that I may have not tried.

3 months to go before we open the gates on year # 2 - I hope this year is bigger and better then last year and this event becomes one of the best on the East Coast!

I figured since we have some time off between the next pre-entry cutoff of August 1st I'd go over some of the cool give-a-ways we will be giving out at this years event. In the 1st round in all 3 categories (Super Comp, Gas & Street) the driver with the best loosing package will receive a $100.00 Gift Certificate from Auto Meter.

Thanks to Marc Erickson and his crew out of Sycamore, IL for the continued support.
