The format will be the same as last year and each participating club contribute $100. I’m sponsoring the POA & any other Prowler group that wants to play. We'll run on the 1.8 mile Road course in the morning and move over to the Drag Strip around noon. Event Fee same as last year - $15 car & driver; $10 for Spectators and kids 10 & under are Free.

Tentative Schedule - Sunday, Mar. 16th, 2008:
8:00 AM - Track Opens
8:30 AM - Road Course Laps Begin
11:30 AM - Road Course Laps End
NOON: - Drag Strip Time Trials Begin
2:30 PM - 1st Round Bracket Classes Begin

There will be Three Classes for Drag Racing (Race Car, Street Car, & Vette/Mopar Only). Trophies for 1st & Runnerup in both the Race Car & Street Car classes. Trophies for 1st, runnerup, Semifinalists & Quarterfinalists in the Vette vs Mopar/Prowler Class. The Race Car Class will be limited to Two Time Trial runs. The Vette/Mopar Class will get unlimited time trial runs until the start of 1st round of Bracket Races. All Car Club members should enter the Vette/Mopar Class. The Race Car Class will be limited to 40 cars (same as last year). We've had this class for each of the 1st four years and is open to people who want to help support the Event's Beneficiary and hopefully brings out more spectators. It has never been a problem in restricting track time for club members.

Each year the Beneficiary is selected in consultation with NPR Management. This year's Beneficiary is Sharee Lanoux (she's the EMT that staffed the ambulance for our event last year). Sharee has lung cancer and mid November discovered she has four Tumors on her brain. The prognosis is not very good. Sharee works as an EMT at the track often and was there for our Grand Bayou Race on Sunday. In addition she works as a Special Ed. Aide at St. Amant High School. She is a real outgoing person and plans to fight this against all odds.

Last year we had a Large group of Prowlers & owners. If your schedules permit, we love to see you again in 2008. I’ll setup a block of rooms at the Best Western in Donaldsonville in January. Mark your calendars… Thanks for the consideration and here’s link to No Problem Raceway.

Tami, hopefully this time we won't red light in the first elimination round. I still say they changed the tree sequence for the elimination's. At least a lot of "professional racers" also red lighted last time. So I did not feel as bad.

Oh yes, and I am going on a diet and lose 25 pounds.

I need every advantage I can get to beat Tami.
