NOTE: YOUR NUMBER WILL BE ASSIGNED AT THE FRONT GATE ONCE YOU ENTER AND PAY INTO A CLASS. THEN FOR THE REMAINDER RACES YOU MUST GIVE THEM YOUR ASSIGNED NUMBER WHEN YOU ENTER A CLASS AT THE FRONT GATE. Remember- Be Patient and Come Earlier! Your tech-in process and front gate process will take a bit longer than normal for the first time. But in the long run it will be faster. The first time you tech-in you can be teched in for the year. Then each race afterwards you will still need to check-in with your tech card at tech so you can be arm banded in.

Points will be awarded as follows:
Attendance 10 pts - You must stage during 1st rd to receive these points. 10 pts will be awarded for every round you win!
Points will be awarded to driver. You cannot Substitute drivers during the season.
Current Points sheets will be posted 3-4 days after the race in the Red Barn.

We have 2 Volunteers who will be assisting in helping answer questions at the track. Prescott Phillips ( The Underdog Green Drag Beetle) will help with Pro Classes.
Jacob Bierer ( The Orange Grand Am) will help the the Super Classes Classes.

Top 5 Finalists for each category will receive Trophies and be invited to GLD's Year End Banquet Held in February of 2009.

Good Luck ! ! !

Hopefully my ACR. Still gotta get it out of the barn :lol:

Shouldn't take more than 4 days to put it all together working non-stop I'd think. Then 2-3 days to break in motor, then a day to wire up MS, and then some tuning. As long as I get it out by next weekend I should be good to go.
