We have a frequency!
First off, Speedway Communications has set us up with new radios for the officials and I personally have a whole new radio to both race direct from and use to make announcements! We will be using the following frequency to broadcast our race signals and directions: 154.600
The V-25 Safeceiver can be purchased from Speedway Communications for only $89...AND it comes with the foam ear plugs! If you already have a scanner, just make sure it can receive this channel.

Secondly, I made a boo boo... I spoke too soon when it came to announcing the transponder rental info. The cost per unit to rent will be $20. If you have your own...still free! Please understand that these units are expensive and to rent them outright costs a lot of money...money I don't have or else I would have just bought them myself. We are renting two cases (64 units) from GPsportstiming.com The owner, Gregg, is an old driver himself and understands the pain we all feel when it comes to transponder rental and purchasing... The units come in at a whopping $420 EACH to buy them outright...he charges us a mere $20 each.
The ability to score each car fairly and accurately is a blessing! Not only does it guarantee accurate and fair timing and scoring, but it also relieves us and you to find people to hand score. Plus, would you want just a finish order at the end of the event...or a full blown print-out of times per lap, speeds, fastest times and number of laps ran for each event???...all of which can be downloaded on mylaps.com.
Please take a look at www.gpsportstiming.com and browse through the site...you will see how much it costs us to score you... It would be cheaper for me to hand score...but you would have to bring someone along with you into the pits to score you...($30 pit fee vs $20 rental fee)
Next up...Time!!!
Grandstand open times will be posted on the Grandview Speedway website...I have not been told what time the stands will open yet.
I am still working on moving the race up a half hour...that needs to be approved by the appropriate people before that can be done, but expect an early start anyways and all should be fine!
8 AM the pit gates will open! We will begin tech inspecting cars as they roll in as soon as possible. We will work to get the registration booth open and in business as quickly as we can so if you are waiting for the gates to open, we should be able to move you right on through!
No change on pit admission and grandstand admission pricing.
More info to come as well! See you all very soon!
