'09 Grass Lake Nationals fast approaching...

[mercguy]

The Pre registration is for your pit space. Not for APBA race registration. Sorry I didn't make that clear. Due to the size of the park the layout of pit space has been professionally surveyed and marked off for trailer spaces. There is a on-line application (at MHRA web site) to fill out ragarding information about your race programs size,# of crew, trailer size ect. This will help the club with maximizing the area of the park to its best potential. Move in starts on Sat. the 25th of July at noon.

Tom, the pre-reg for pit stalls was explanined clearly (and taken care of), so thanks. Just curious if ON-LINE pre-reg for entrys is gonna be available?????? It always saves a LOT of time having ON-LINE pre-reg........especially for the scorers........

I really want to race DSR at the closed course nationals and I'm trying to fit it into my budget.
I highly doubt elims will need to be run for this class. Is there any way I can come for just a day or two to race and then leave? I can skip the trap shooting, golf outings, dinners, banquets, media days, etc.
Do I have to commit an entire week to race a couple heats?
Thanks.

Here's another one with fear of commitment...

Here's another one with fear of commitment...

I often tell myself I need to be committed to be in this sport.

My question has been taken care of. Thanks to the race committee for their help.
Sorry for sounding bitter about the event. I really am looking forward to Grass Lake. My campsite and pit reservations have been made.

'Grass' Lake

The weed treatments are doing wonders. I'm not sure it can be called Grass Lake anymore

[L. Allen]

Weed treatments????
Tell us more.

Two weeks and counting...
Let's hear some chatter!

[sponsonhead]

Hey, I had weed treatments back in the 60's and 70's and look what they did for me!

What? You have sponsons growing outta your head?

[jeff55v]

An injustice!

So at Constantine I was handed a race program for Grass Lake. Here I am thumbing thru it, looking at all the photos, classes, and class sponsors. I see so many great sponsors like, Brown Tool and Machine, Wendy's, Amsoil, Lifeline jackets, and so on. Then I look at my own class (DSR), and I see it's being sponsored by Wild Sanitation. Great! So many wonderful sponsors, and we get stuck with the Shi**er company! So was this blind luck? Or is somebody trying to make a statment here?
So does the National champ get to take home a port-a pot?

DSR Sponsor

Hello Jeff,

Rest assured, the class sponsor is not going on the trophy. However, Porta cans are one of the largest expense items for a nationals. The folks at Wild stepped up and significantly cut that expense. In turn that has allowed us to buy everyone free pizza, beer and provide great live music on Wed, night. We are happy to have them as a class sponsor. When you are tipping one of those free beers think Wild Sanitation. I am just glad we will have enough DSR to take advantage of having another class to sponsor.

Jeff I thought all you DSR drivers went and used one of those before your first heat. so you wouldn't do it later
