Hello Race Fans!

This is the weekend of racing. Our 3rd carpet race for 2007 and it is going to be hot - but not at the track as we are racing inside in the A/C. It doesn't get much better for Florida with Minnreg. Check out the awesome points battles going on here: http://www.snowbirdnationals.com/FCC.htm

Hope you can make it! Julie is cooking in the kitchen with the family and we have mom's brownies. Lots of fun planned this weekend. Get those racecars ready. We have a ton of classes - something for everyone! Spread the word - let's get a record crowd on the carpet.

Road Course racing on Saturday and Oval racing on Sunday.

Friday doors open at 6pm for pits and practice from about 7pm-1am.
Friday lights off at 1:30am.
Saturday doors open at 6am
Saturday racing at 10am (3 heats and a main)
Saturday night oval practice from about 7pm-1am
Saturday night BRISTOL Nascar party at the track
Sunday doors open at 6am

Sunday we will have a free expo race with Losi Sprinters - BOX STOCK!!!

Looks like I have the key for the showers. Bring soap. This is for the guys that want to crash overnight at Minnreg. Every bit of $$ helps. More $$ to pay entry. Lights off for track at 1:30am and doors locked at 2:00am. Doors reopen at 6:00am.

We started a novice class for oval last time and had some girls... would love to do the same this time for road! Thanks for bringing some new racers. This is awesome!

If your coming in from the Tampa side, Ulmerton road between US`19 and 49th St is tore up. The alt route is to go to 118 th Street exit ( next one after Ulmerton). Take 118 down to the light, go left. stay on 118th till you hit US 19, go right first exit is 126th St. bottom of ramp go left. Minnreg is about 1/4 mile up on left just after the stop sign.

I am staying there. I know some of your stay there - no problem.... just practice and the big lights off around 1am. Doors open at 6am Saturday. Registration 8am-9am. Racing at 10am.

Same for oval. Oval track should be ready around 7pm with practice until at least 1am... same drill.

Lots of new faces coming. Flyer and all has been posted on our site for awhile. Few points - CS27s in rubber, 27 turns in stock, 10.5 and 19s OK together.... mod will be up to majority. CYA soon!
