Requesting Assistance from the ClassRacer.com Gang...

Bret Kepner · 03-19-2012, 09:59 PM

Hi, folks!

I'd like to ask for the help of the board in corralling the teams who plan to compete in the SuperCar Showdown at the ADRL season-opener at Baytown on March 30-31, (Friday and Saturday).

The ADRL pre-entry process has proven excellent but I have received a dozen or so "second-hand" notices of cars/teams planning to run the event but who have not officially sent confirmation of their plans.

If any of you know teams who plan to go, please have them contact me so arrangements can be made. I can be reached at BRETKEPNER@Prodigy.net.

The "arrangements" which need to be made concern parking for the teams and rigs. Back in December, we decided to park the SuperCar Showdown teams where they are the first vehicles visible to the fans when they enter the pits. The SCS cars will be the first to interact with the spectators to both showcase the machines and help with any souvenir sales for the entries. Nobody will be parked in the "north forty" at these events.

Because we plan to arrange the SCS pits in direct correlation to the manufacturers' midway, we REALLY need to know how many cars to expect beyond the current entries and we need to figure trailer size into the equation.

By the way, the SCS is already prominently featured in the TV and radio advertising for the race and they're even the headliner on the event T-shirts!

Also, we'll be opening up entries this week for ADRL events at Bristol (TN) April 20-21 and Maple Grove (PA) May 4-5 so please spread the word on this, as well.

Thanks for your help. I'm just trying to organize the first race as best we can.

We are bringing two Challengers from the Southland Dodge stable. Joseph Teuton and Kevin Helms at the Wheel.

Thanks, Kevin; while you were racing at NPR, we were busy promoting you into oblivion:

By the way, are you planning to run any of the east coast races, Bo?

Well if they don't show up for a deal where they're treated like professionals, then shame on them.
