Today was a very tough day for the WFCII. We did not receive any pre-entries by phone or mail. Steve and I did talk to several people that we trust that said the check is in the mail. With what we have in hand and what is coming in the mail , that we know , we are at 97 pre-entries. As you all know , that is well short of the 125 needed to have the event. Steve and I are not promoters. We are "good ole boy" Footbrake racers that love this sport and the racers that make it up. We do not have the disposable income to hold an event like this with a guaranteed purse without pre-entries. Last year's success had us believing that we would get all that we needed to make the event happen again but we were wrong. With that said , we believe that people will come if we just man up and have it. We don't know if 10 more or 100 more will show up but we know there is only 1 way to find out , so .........

Coalburg Racing Promotions is proud to announce that the 2008 JEGS/BTE World Footbrake Challenge is officially on. Steve and I have decided to take the risk of our lives and make the WFCII an official event. We are forced to make a change or two in the way that we put the event on but it will be seamless to the racers as it applies only to the small details of the event. The purse is 100% guaranteed and that will not change at all. We can't afford to do some of the things that we did last year such as water in the lanes , internet updates , free RFM's and some other small things. We can assure everyone that you will get paid whatever the flyer says you are owed and that is really the main thing that we must do as the event promoters. In doing this , we feel the necessity to open pre-entries up until May 1st. We still need help to make the event get to the level that it went to last year. We know you great racers will get us there. We are scared. We are nervous. We are fat .. at least one of still is . But , we are confident that more racers will come forward and enter this race and help us make it great. Tell everyone that you know .. or at least the one's that will care , that the WFCII is on. Thank you to those that have pre-entered and gambled on us. We appreciate it very much. See y'all in Bristol.
