At this time we will elect next years officers and then hand out awards from this years results. If you ran in 4 or more races you will recieve an award. While this is going on our FORGASS Chefs will be preparing some food for your pleasure. We will have Brats, Burgers and Chicken. With some Chips, Beans etc.

Special Prize Award, We will be having a contest on the best paint scheme. The winner will have his paint scheme on the FORGASS web site for the next year.

I would like to have as many of the people getting awards as possible for pics for the web site. So make sure to have those clean shirts, nicely painted bodies etc.

One thing to remember everyone. Here is a remainder about how next years race will be set up according to our by laws:

X. GENERAL RACING
A. Heats are organized according to current series points as accounted from previous race.
i. Race day entrants are added to heats on a first come first serve basis.
ii. Halfway thru the Series the DROP will be factored into the points and the qualifying grid set accordingly.
iii. First Series race is organized according to previous years finishing results from the "Sour Grapes"
iv. There are no re-sorts being the heats are set up by points.

If any track is intrested in hold a FORGASS race next year I need you to email me at [email protected] as soon as possible.

Thanks again everyone for your support.

Dave

Default Friday

I have received several different stories on Friday practice. Will the track open? Also, can I set up a trailer on Friday? What is the closest hotel to stay in?
Thanks, looking forward to the race!

That schedule was for the regular state series races. Please read the top post in the thread for this weekends schedule. You can set up your trailer on Friday but I do not believe the track will be open for practice.

Guys just a remainder to have that special body ready for judging. Also make sure to have a clean shirt and what ever you need for pics when we hand out trophies.
