[EricArrow]

Rob...great job!!...This is shaping up to be the race of the year for class racers...

[BKSG1198]

Thanks Eric...and I have 2 more announcements to add to the list on either Mon or Tues! Just have to wait for the contacts to get back from the Gators but, they are already sign, sealed and delivered.

I was going to wait till Tuesday to announce the 2 new sponsorship additions to the .90 Nationals but, I think this could not wait....

The 1st one is Jim Kelly and VP Racing Fuels have come on board as a sponsor. Jim and I are still working out the details as far as the amount that will be given out the racers but, for you to be eligible for the Certificates you must have the VP Racing Fuel 5x7 Sticker on the side of your car along with a Proof Of Purch. I'm announcing this now since were in the off-season and most of you have not bought race gas for the season as of yet...so save those receipts, they will come in handy down the road!!

The 2nd new sponsor is Jennifer Woods and Brodix Cylinder Heads. Jennifer and I have worked out what I think is a pretty cool deal. Brodix is going to provide me with 2 Gift Certificates valued at about $1,600 each. These certificates can be used towards any Small Block or Big Block (4.840 bore spacing, 9.800 – 10.200 deck) block. Basically if you win these certificates you can get a one of these Brodix Blocks for $3,500.00 (Usually they are valued at around $5,000 to $5,500 dollars). These Certificates will be raffled off to the Pre-Entry Drivers that enter before July 17th.

I hope these 2 announcements have made people even more excited to enter into the .90 Nationals. Any questions feel free to e-mail me!

Rob, Thanks to IHRA for moving the DIV 1 race @ Richmond, I will be looking forward to this event!

[BKSG1198]

Rich,
I just read it on the IHRA Website. Guess too many people complained about Charlotte being scheduled the same weekend as Richmond. Now if we can just do something about the gas prices...haha. I sent you a message via Facebook also, I have no problem with you doing 3 classes, just be prepared for any hot-lapping cause Bob doesn't fool around up there. Thanks for the support!!

Congrats on taking on such a huge project. I know people have said someone should do this for years. You have stepped up and done it. I don't know how much racing I'll do this year, but I will be coming to your race.
