Dan , the event is indeed 1/8th mile. We appreciate your interest and we hope the '08 WFC fits in your schedule. Thanks again and happy holidays.

Racers , we are getting very close to the amount of pre-entries needed to make the WFCII happen. They have been very steady today but we need a good day tomorrow. Don't forget that the deadline is midnight April 1st so we still have 27 hours to take entries. Who will be the racer to step up and put us over the top? Will it be you? Don't let the media stop you from coming to this great race. Enjoy Memorial Day weekend in beautiful Bristol , Tennessee at "The World's Greatest Footbrake Race". Take the easy ride home on Sunday night and rest on Monday before returning to work. The sponsors are lined up , the cash is waiting , the track and weather will be perfect and the racing will be insane. If you plan on coming , save the money and pre-enter. You won't regret it.

Come on "classers" stay over from the national event and enjoy the absolute best bottom bulb race you have seen.

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.

Hey Racers,

How would you like to be a part of the 2008 World Footbrake Challenge for only a $60 investment? London Dragway in London, Kentucky is going to give one lucky (talented) racer that chance. On Saturday night, April 26th, they will hold a 16 car shootout for a weekend entry into the WFC. Entry fee is $60 with the winner receiving a free weekend entry to the '08 WFC and the runner-up will receive $100. This will be a pre-entry deal and it is expected to fill up fast. Racers can enter by check, money order, or credit card. To reserve your spot today please contact Craig Boone at 606-877-3188.

Racers , only 41 days until the Footbrake race of the year rolls in the gates at beautiful Bristol Dragway. Pre-entries are being accepted until May 1st. The race is on and it is GUARANTEED.

Don't miss this race folks. The purse is the largest guaranteed purse ever for a footbrake only event. You start winning money with a 3rd round win. 1st round only buybacks. On-site showers so you can stay at the track. The month of May is arguably the best weather month for the Northeast Tennessee area. Round prizes. Cash prizes. Not a bad parking place in the house. Clean restrooms for your family. Great promoters (tried to slip this one in)

. Footbrake only. No dragsters taking YOUR time. Great racing and an electric atmosphere. Come join the fun. See y'all in Bristol.
