Ladies and Gents,
Gulf-Coast Motorsports Park will be back in action this Saturday with our 5th Points Race of the 2009 season.
Noon - Gates open
2:00 p.m. - Practice begins
3:45 p.m. - Drivers meeting
4:00 p.m. - Heat racing begins
We will be qualifying 3 classes this Saturday. Those classes are: Stock Lite, Stock Heavy and Sr. Champ-Flatheads. All other classes will draw and run a heat race.
Also, we will practice BY CLASS on Saturday and the running order is posted below. For the 3 qualifying classes, you will qualify BEFORE we start the heat races in the other classes.
For the 3 classes that are qualifying, y'all will run 15 lap features. The other classes will run 8 lap heat races and 12 lap features.
Rookie Drivers and Crew Chiefs - We are going to try to start the Rookie Heat and Feature races with a 'rolling start' (instead of the 'dead start' in turns 3 & 4) this Saturday so plz talk with your driver about this change. Ronald is going to meet with all of the Rookie Drivers after the regular drivers meeting to help explain this in a little more detail.
Also, ALL Micro-Sprints will pit on the back-stretch (behind the fence) starting this weekend. As you know, these guys need a rolling, push start and this will give them plenty of room to 'get going' and allow them to drive back to their pits. Karts will NOT be allowed to pit on the back-stretch, only the Micro-Sprints. I know that several kart racers have recently purchased Micro-Sprints and I would encourage you to call Ronald if you plan on running a kart AND Micro-sprint so y'all can work out the 'pit logistics'. If you don't have his cell number, it's 228-669-3324.
Listed below is the practice and race order for June 13th.
Sr. Champ - Flatheads Qualify

Heavy Qualify
Purple Plates
Jr. Champ - Blue
Clone Flat Karts
