Tech Department now open for business.

When I took over the track I had received many calls and emails concerning Tech. I am happy to announce that the Tech division under the direction of Ed Crilly is now open. Last week we were allowing some things to squeak through in some classes and some others in the Mini Stock class to use  equipment which was a breach of the rules. All of those racers have been told what was wrong and must be changed for this week.

Due to many years of neglect in Tech for the mini stock class we will allow some gray areas to exist for 2011. New rules for 2012 are being worked upon now so we can bring some control back into this class. We expect to have them completed by seasons end.

For all other classes, rules will be strictly enforced to make it fair for all racers. This is the only warning that will be given. Please note that there is no allowable percentage of error, or 1/8 here or there, or a pound here or there. Please adjust your scales at home to reflect the ones at the track. The scales at the track are the ones we are going to use. If you scales show a different number then adjust your numbers to reflect the track numbers.

Please make sure you build in a safety factor for all your cross weights, weight, heights etc. We do not want to disqualify anyone. We do not like to do that and we find no joy in doing it, but, if you want to run that close to the tech limits, that will be your choice and you may suffer the consequences.

Thank you for your cooperation. Now, Lets have Fun.
