Just to break up some of the monotony.... I uploaded a winter news break! :-B
http://www.neetsracing.com/press/2010-02-04.htm
Just a brief review of some new procedures and such for the 2010 season!
I do want to touch on 3 items here though....since I know they will be discussed anyways!
1, Driver Profile Sheets....
New season = new info... Everyone MUST fill out the profile sheets. The info provided is never shared/discussed, but in the case of an emergency...may be what saves your life! If we don't receive the sheets filled out with ALL required info after the 2nd event, we will stop awarding points to the driver.
By "filled out with ALL required info", I mean ALL info....not just first name car number and division....if that is the case, driver will not qualify for points.
We ask for car info so that, between races we can research car parts and such to check for legality...if we have no info provided for the car you are racing and we feel that the part in question is illegal....it will be deemed illegal and you will have to remove the illegal part. If we can research it for the next event and we discover the part is actually legal....it will be to your benefit that you can keep using the part....
2, Tech! Tech this season will be post racing in the infield. The first race top drivers will park their cars in the infield and head into the pits....the second race will take place then the officials will inspect the cars from the first race. Driver + ONE crew member are allowed in the tech area ONLY. After all of the warnings we gave out in 2009, if you are in tech when you don't belong there, you might as well hang around since we are not going to tell you to back up....we're just going to DQ you.
3, Transponders. I am not happy having to put a system such as this in place, but it is for the best interest of the series. When a driver leaves the speedway without returning a unit to the officials, the series becomes financially responsible for the $600 replacement cost of the unit. So, for 2010, everyone who rents a unit will also provide credit card information and a signature on an authorization page for charging their credit card for transponders not returned. IF you leave the speedway, you will be charged immediately. Again, I don't like doing this, but there were too many scares and actually replacements the series had to incur...
That is all for now...please take some time to read through the update!
Thanks!
