VENDORS. You will be able to set up as a vendor for absolutely free. In these hard economic times we need to pull together and support each other. Just pay the entry fee at the gate ($15) and you can set up any size display you like. PM me to confirm you are coming and I will add you to a list for people to know you'll be there.

CLASS SPONSORS. Always interested in having new sponsors on board. Each class is $1000 to sponsor. This gets your name on the trophies, announcements throughout the day about your business, your company display in with vendor status and 5 people. Saturday at our open house a limited size display can be put up at our open house. Your display space is unlimited on Sunday at the track.

**The plaques that will be awarded at the shootout are all MADE IN THE USA. Doesn't seem like a big deal but trying to find trophies/plaques made in the USA, wasn't easy to do.

**In 2007 we paid out over $6600 in CASH to the racers. Payouts are based on the event turn out, just as they are every year.

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#1. In the past we've done some small parties/get togethers at my house. This was a big thing to be involved in with a lot of people and I got away from doing it in the past. This year for the first time in about 10 years I am once again going to do a night time get together that is open for anyone who wants to stop out. This will be done at our shop on Saturday night. We'll have a small fire here in the parking lot to hang out around, I'll supply some hotdogs to roast over the fire, buns/mustard/ketchup/chips and soft drinks. You are welcome to bring your own beer or alcohol here IF YOU ARE OVER 21 YEARS OLD. There will be a police roaming around from time to time so keep that in mind. It's just a chance to hang out, talk, tell some stories and relax. I will NOT supply any alcohol as much as I'd like to, liability is just too high. Keep in mind I am sure the local police will be looking very hard to arrest someone for DUI, so use your brains and if you drink don't drive.

Next we have the class payouts all settled and I want to list them.
