.90 Nationals @ Numidia Dragway - Page 8

BKSG1198 · 02-25-2011, 09:30 AM

Welcome Back John!!

On that Note I like to welcome Mr. John Asta to the .90 Nationals along with Big Oak Fuel as a sponsor for the race. Thanks John for the support!

Yes John is correct from now on if you have nothing to say positive about this race then don't say it! If you want to discuss something you can PM me or e-mail me and I'll be glad to talk to you about it. I will not reply to anymore negative comments. I've already talked with the Class Racer Admin about this and any post will be removed if it has anything negative to say in it.

That's the difference between Us and the Stk/SS Board. You see nothing negative coming out of their mouths about Brian and Lee's race and the racers are jumping on board left and right with entries and sponsorships to support it and make it work. I'm trying something that has never been attempted and I'll be dammed if I will fail at it. As John said go to your local speed shop or local store and see if they will become a sponsor (It's $150 dollars were not asking for your 1st newborn child) or if they want to do something like Joe Eckel did and put 50 bucks up for a perfect run or best reaction time or longest tow. All these little things add up and are an added bonus for people to attend.

In closing and from now on it's all about being positive and if you want to be a Yahoo and downgrade this race then keep it to yourself or come find me at the track and tell me because their are too many racers actually looking forward to this race then to have a few yahoo's rain on their parade.

We have 2 new sponsors added to the Mix. I would like to thank Bryan and Dave Sorce of Sorces Trailer Sales who have come on board for the .90 Nationals.
Also I would like to thank Roy from Hoosier Tire Mid Atlantic who is going to offer not 1 but 2 sets of "Buy 1 get 1 free Hoosier rear tires". More great adds to come shortly...

Entry List so far
S/Comp - 1
S/Gas - 6
S/Street - 0

Companies remember that and come the next year when I call up and ask again there going to tell me to go pound sand. I have to go with what they are offering me. I would be happy that I'm even searching for sponsors. I could have just said "OK 5K on the table, winner take all, no contingency...good luck".
I mean it's also only February I still have 6 more months to work on stuff like slicks, more stuff towards racing and motorhome gas (yes I've thought about the travel that the racers put into this and I plan on giving back)...Numidia is a 4 1/2 hour drive for me so I'm not just stepping out of my house and at the track! Remember all these sponsors are putting up money for the race...
Ken Moses Race Transmissions
Lucky’s Race Cars
GAS – Goldman Autorace Specialties
Motorsports Innovation
Select Transmissions
Numidia Dragway
TRC - Total Race Components
Hudson Performance
S&W Race Cars

The "Enhancements" that they are putting on us is insane and everyone keeps taking and taking it. Trust me I will put money on it that even with 5k on the line some D1 racers will still travel to Charlotte and Bowling Green because it's NHRA and they want a wally. I talked with a fellow S/G racer the other night on the phone and he told me to get to and from Charlotte last year was over $600 in fuel! You add that onto entry fee, crew fee, food, sitting around for 5 days so you can win $1,800 plus contingency's that come 6 months later or because your converter was built in 2005 and is out of date they are not going to pay you....so sorry that I make my stuff last. I know it's a "Poor Man's Sport" and if we did it for the $$$ we must have been drinking too much the night before but, I love the family atmosphere the bonding that I have with my father and the competitiveness that we all share inside to win. I mean it's time for some of us to stand up and have a voice and balls and venture out on our own. I see the writing on the wall for .90 racing and it's very very bleak and as far as I'm concerned I still have a good 20 to 30 years of racing left in me and I want to see the .90 classes survive and the only way it will happen is if someone takes a stand now.

I applaud you for this post. You are correct...some will travel to the NHRA race just because its an NHRA race. If I had a S/G car I would go to your race rather than put up with NHRA's BS.

Terry thanks for the compliments...hopefully everything comes together and we get a good turnout for the race. Maybe tough with Bowling Green, Charlotte and Richmond all on the same weekend but, as any political officer does I will be out and about handing out fliers, kissing baby's and good looking woman to get them to attend....haha. The way Gas is climbing it maybe putting a damper on a lot of peoples racing schedules for the year.

BKSG1198 · 03-07-2011, 04:18 PM

Ok I had a few days off to get some R&R and race cardboard sleds down a snow-tubing hill but, it's time to get back to work and get this race going. Over the past week we've added a few new sponsors along with some more entries to the list. First off I would like to Thank and Welcome aboard these sponsors for the .90 Nationals....

Marc Erickson at Auto Meter. Auto Meter will be giving a $200 product certificate to the winner and a $100 certificate to the runner up.

Kevin Cradduck at Nitroplate who is giving us a Certificate for a Free Header Coating (Value of $385). This will be part of the prizes given away to anyone who is pre-entered before July 17th

Kyle Koretsky of Nitro performance who has come on board as a primary sponsor and he also is going to put $ 50.00 up to the first Super Comp Driver who cuts a perfect light in eliminations.

Super Gas Racer Pat Iaonne will be giving 3 of his Suspension Rescue Quarter Turn Fastener tools to the winner of each class. Thanks Pat!

As far as entries go the Super Gas guys seem to be determined to meet the quota and want the $ 5,000 payout as we are up to 9 entries so far. As far as the other classes go we only have 1 Super Comp Entry and 0 Super Street guys...

The new additions to the field include:
Super Gas :
John Asta
Bob Keister
George Smith
Don Knoblick

Super Comp:
Jeff Serra

Remember May 31st is the 1st cutoff for entry into the race at $155.00 after that the fee goes up to $170.00. If you would like to pay in person I will be at the Atco D-1 National Open in April 7th to 10th, MASGA Race at Cecil County May 21st & 22nd and the Maple Grove D-1 Race just on Saturday and Sunday May 28th & 29th.

BKSG1198 · 03-11-2011, 12:47 PM

I would like to Thank Pat Versace of Competition Tire East (Goodyear) who is going to commit to product certificates to be awarded to the winner and runner-up in each class – S/C, S/G, S/ST. The value of the certificates will be as follows:

Winner - $100.00
Runner-up - $50.00

We keep adding to the list of great items to be given to the racers.
