4-17 Southern Speedway

[chassisdude]

Heard there was a practice at the old Charlotte County Speedway this weekend, does anyone have any info on this or if they have a web site up I could check info on. It sounded like they have stands up and ready to race, I sure missed that place.

It looks like practice is this Saturday from 10:00 AM thru 2:00 PM depending on car count. I'm not sure on admission prices. I saw it on their Facebook page
Hope this helps

Thanks, I guess we will ride up there and see if anything is going on, sure wish they would post something on here and let people know what they are doing

[L.R.E.]

Practice entry is $10 per person, $10 per racecar. There should be a few super late models there tomorrow and I'm sure some other classes as well. Last week had 2 supers, an open wheel modified , street stock and a few others if I remember correctly.

It's great to see that the first race night is getting closer. If anyone is needing race fuel, all eight Palmdale Oil Company locations have race fuel in stock.

[Ricky Brooks]

Track will have the OFFICIAL fuel available which is SUNOCO and will be checked at events.

Everyone should be familiar with fuel check procedures in the the rules. Some racers might not realize that with a spec only race fuel, their entire fuel system will need to be drained completely if they used another brand of race fuel the night before, or the weekend before. Any residual race fuel in the cell, mixed with the spec fuel, would make the competitor illegal if the fuel testing is accurate.

This is just sad. Tracks already dictate car rules and tire rules, but if a team tries to save a few bucks by buying their fuel by the drum, you are screwed. Then there are crate motors that run pump gas... SMDH...

we will see how this works out after the post a payout. Will the money be there for the extra work

[Ricky Brooks]

I said OFFICIAL fuel not SPEC fuel. You can still buy your drum but Rick Williams will sell you a drum also. Minimum purchase on race day mandatory and we will test. Never said it had to be 100% sunoco because it can be tested 3 different ways. We will have 110 and 102. Crates run well on 102 on the dyno and the track . SUNOCO gets you to the winners circle on American Racers....

That's a good decision. Racers should always have the choice to use the best products at the best prices.

gas it

]If the track didn't sell fuel most of you would be mad.
There is no money in fuel they do it for you. You might save .25 buy stopping at a station or getting a drum. Then put 10 gal in your trailer and its off to the track. The dot will tell you why you shouldn't do this. Yep you saved a few bucks and got around another track rule.
The fuel and tire suppliers will sponsor a few things at the track to be the spec tire or fuel.
Give them a break.
Don't let your greed put all the tracks out .
Now im sure this will crank a few of you poor greedy racers way up..lol
some one has to stand up for the poor failing tracks.
