AZ Stock Super Stock - Feb 18-19 2023
 

We are going to have a double in Tucson, February 18th and 19th, the week before the Phoenix divisional. Come on down and get 4 races in two weeks to start the year off. We are still ironing out the details on what payouts etc will be, but we will follow a similar format to prior years where we pay back to the early rounds. This is probably the only race we will be able to do in 2023 so we are trying to see if we can bring the purse up a little more. We will release more details and a full flier as we have them.

This might be the last one for a while...Who's going?

Let's make it the best yet!

We’ve talked with Jim Hughes at Tucson Dragway and you will be able to leave your rigs in Tucson or stay at the track between this race and stacking for the Phoenix Divisional the following week.

The track’s gate fee has gone up $5 to $45 per day this year. I am still finalizing some sponsorship info to finalize the full purse structure but it will be a minimum of $1,200 to win per day with payouts starting with first round winners as we have had in years past. We are looking forward to another great event to kickoff the 2023 season!

Looks like four so far, for the $ CASH

Five, with John and Jon

Jon's wife put her foot down = We can't go!
He has 8 month old twins to take care of and I
am not willing to go by myself anymore with
all the issues with people that I have been having at the track
as of late.

John, No worries..We've got several of our brethren who are current or former LE officers.
We'll get them to come and we'll all park together.
Better yet. We'll just hire Mike

I totally plan on being there. My life has been so busy the last 5 months taking care of parents. One weekend of maintenance and truck and car should be ready for the trip.

Re: AZ Stock Super Stock - Feb 18-19 2023
 

were probably coming with 2 or 3

Re: AZ Stock Super Stock - Feb 18-19 2023
 

Here is the full flyer. Huge shout out to UEM pistons for staying on board and being the primary sponsor for the association since day one helping make the association great and allowing us to put on these events.

We have some prizes for best losing packages in the first two rounds each day. Meziere Enterprises is giving a gift certificate to the runner up each day, California Car cover is giving a gift Certificate to each winner. AZ Differential Specialist, Advanced Automotive, and Bill Nelsons Automotive have continued their support to help us guarantee the purse no matter how many cars show up. Finally, TMM Precision (The Metal Man) donated all the metal and welding for the newest version of the custom "Cactally" trophy that will be given to each winner.

There is a track hosted test and tune on Friday night for anyone looking to get a few test hits or wanting to arrive early. We should be parked down at the last row near the scale/return road. Come see us Saturday morning to pay the association fee and so we can get your class and weight info.

We look forward to seeing everyone in a couple of weeks!

Add "Shark Bait" and I to the Sunday (2nd race). I hope these races will convince Jim to next year bring Tucson Dragway back into the D7 LODRS divisional fold, since WHPMSP, won't be on the schedule after these two months?

Re: AZ Stock Super Stock - Feb 18-19 2023
 

Good money won by Mr Cotton on Saturday and Mr Hampton for winning Sunday. Congrats. Tried to load videos but could not. If you go to Matt Hawks Facebook page and I have about 25 short starting line videos.

Re: AZ Stock Super Stock - Feb 18-19 2023
 

Congratulations to Mike and Paula Cotten and Gary Hampton!

Does anyone have a link to Matt Hawks Facebook page? I could not find it.

Congrats to the winners. Big shout out to "Shark Bait." I love it when a slow car wins. Nice start to the season Mr. Hampton.

Here are some photos from Sunday’s race. The link to my page where Jeff posted the videos is: https://www.facebook.com/matt.hawk.77 I’ve also tried to share some from the association page.

Thanks to United Engine & Machine for their continued support of our races and allowing us to put on some great events for the west coast class racers. Special thanks to Steve Valdez from UEM for his help keeping everything organized, running the scales, and helping out wherever possible! If you are in need of some pistons, give him a call and see if he can help you out. Without them, these races would not be nearly as successful as they are.

We had 20 cars on Saturday and 16 on Sunday. Congrats to Mike Cotten for his win on Saturday over Tom Oloughlin, Gary Hampton for defending his win from last year with another Sunday win over Mike Graham, and Mike Graham for taking home the membership Calcutta by winning the most rounds for the weekend.

Congrats also to our other winners:

Paula Cotten, Saturday’s #1 qualifier with a .001 light. - Paula won a California Car Cover duster for her efforts.

Dennis Alvey, best losing package for round 1 on Saturday. - Dennis won a duster from California Car Cover as well.

Craig Saurbaugh, best losing package for round 2 on Saturday. Craig won a Lucas Oil slick mist detail kit.

Mike Graham was Sunday’s #1 qualifier. Mike won a duster from California Car Cover.

Doug Bidwell, best losing package for round 1 on Sunday. Doug won a duster from California Car Cover.

Dennis Alvey, best losing package for round 2 on Sunday. Dennis won a Lucas Oil slick mist detail kit.

Thanks also to Meziere Enterprises for providing a gift certificate to each day’s runner up finisher, and California Car Cover for providing a gift certificate to each day’s winner. We also would like to thank The Metal Man for providing the awesome “cactally” trophy, AZ Differential Specialists, Advanced Automotive Inc, and Bill Nelson for their continued support of the association.

Good luck to everyone racing in Phoenix this week!
