Dago Red and myself are working on a schedule for next year. We have a friend that is in the advertising business helping draft proposals to sponsors and tracks. We have made a tentative list of track that have shown interest in having us race at their facilities and some that we think we could draw a crowd to come watch us race.Abilene Raceway Abilene, Texas(1/8 mile) This track is next to Dyes Air Force Base and draws big crowds. Very nice small track.Mo-Kan Raceway Joplin, Mo. (1/8 mile) Good track, makes it easier on the Missouri bunch for a change too!Cherokee County Raceway Rusk, Texas (1/4 mile) Very nice track. The track owners are great people and have done a great job building this out of the way track.Houston Raceway Park Houston, Texas (1/4 mile) Good track, when prepped...... Could be a return visit to the Lone Star Shootout.Tulsa International Raceway Tulsa, Ok. (1/4 mile) Good track ( too damned hot in June! ) Possible return to the Tulsa Roadsters fuel meet.Red River Raceway Shreveport, La. (1/4 mile) Never been there.......Texas Raceway Kennedale, Texas (1/8 mile) Good track with good bite. Could be a tie in with the BHRA Nationals here..... their own nostalgia race. Maybe we could get Cindi to race her dads (Bill Hielscher) Corvette in NMC?Pine Valley Raceway Lufkin, Texas (1/4 mile) Seen lots of photos of this track.... very nice looking! Don't know much more than that.San Antonio Raceway San Antonio, Texas (1/4 mile) Good track to draw spectators from Austin too!Redline Raceway Caddo Mills, Texas (1/8 mile) Probably the nicest 1/8 track in Texas. Great people at the track, nice facilities.We are also working to get sponsors for each race. That means we get paid to race! We will also try to provide the racers an event tee shirt at each race. We are going to guarantee a minumum of 8 cars per class so we will need some people that can and will race at as many events as possible. We may look into double eliminations format to extend the program also..... give the spectators more chances to see us! (just thoughts..... input is valuable)How many races should we try to schedule? 5,6 more?Unless things change between now and next season, we will not use Contengiency Connection next year. If we were to find a corporate sponsor that would want to pay the fees for it, things could change.Where are the GM racers? That is something we had a big shortage of this past season. George..... build you a NSS or NMC car and come down and play!If anyone has any thoughts or ideas..... let us know. This is all being done for YOU so your input is valued and higly appreciated!
