1. There my be a rear tire issue as the vendor at Bakersfield may not have
availability for us this weekend. I just spoke to Scott at Bakersfield
Speedway and Hoosier Tire West and they are working on the problem. Hoosier
Tire and the vendor are trying to work out the issue, but be prepared that you
may have to get your right rear RC-3s or left rear RC-1's before race day,
from a local vendor, as they may not be available at the track. We will only
allow the RC-3 and VRA Tire on the right rear and RC-1 or D-12 on the left
rear no exceptions. Jack at High Tech has a few available and can get them
overnight if you let him know asap you will need them and pick them up from
his shop before Saturday.
2. Pits will open at 1:00pm. All Sprint Car drivers must pill pick their
qualifying position as soon as possible to help us get the line-ups ready. In
any event the pill must be picked prior to drivers meeting. Time to be
announced. Failure to do so will result in being placed at the rear of the
qualifying order.
3. All drivers who are not registered 2007 VRA members must fill out an
event entry form and W-9 tax form in order for VRA to issue their purse
checks. Failure to do so will result in possible delay in, or possibly not
receiving, their check.
We will keep you advised on the tire issue. If I get any new information I
will immediately post it for your viewing, so check back often if you are in
doubt.
We are looking forward to a great event this weekend. Past year's racing
has been outstanding and this year should be no exception.
See you all Saturday afternoon,
Cliff Morgan VRA Director of Competition
