N.E.W. Dirt Winter 2000-2001 Newsletter

January 26, 2001; Seymour, WI -  MINOR RELEASE FORMS: Insurance requires that NO ONE UNDER 16 be allowed in a restricted area (pit area) without a current minor release form on file at the track. If you have a minor you want in the pit, ALL forms MUST be COMPLETELY filled out AND NOTARIZED, before the minor will be allowed in the pit, NO EXCEPTIONS. Call Lynn at 920-494-5884 to get the forms so you can get them filled out BEFORE the first race on May 6th.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT PARKING:  YOU HAD UNTIL JANUARY 8th CLUB MEETING TO RESERVE PIT SPOTS IF YOU WANTED THE SAME SPOT FOR 2001. ANY FRONT ROW SPOTS LEFT AND OTHER SPOTS IN THE PITS CAN BE RESERVED BY CALLING YVONNE AT (920) 231-1157.

NEW STOCK CAR REP: At the January meeting, the Stock Car group discussed the rep position being combined with the Modified division. John Bohl was elected to both positions in October. The drivers present felt it would be better, especially with the changes in their division this year, to have their own rep. Because it was brought up in the group meeting, no action was taken. But, it will be brought up at the February 5 meeting for discussion and any possible changes will be made at that time. ALL DRIVERS SHOULD ATTEND.

AT THE NOVEMBER MEETING, PLANS WERE IN PLACE TO START MOVING CLAY TO THE TRACK. HOWEVER, THE WEATHER TURNED AND FORCED THOSE PLANS TO BE PUT ON HOLD. THIS IS STILL A PROJECT WE WANT TO DO BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS. BUT, WE NEED YOUR HELP.

IF YOU CAN PROVIDE A DUMP TRUCK FOR A DAY OR KNOW OF SOMEONE WE CAN CONTACT, GET IN TOUCH WITH BOB ZEGERS AT 920-494-5884. THE MORE YOU CAN HELP, THE LESS WE
WILL HAVE TO HIRE OUT.

MODIFIED RULES

There was a discussion at the January meeting about the new IMCA rule about a weight rule for the mods. During the discussion, a set of scales was offered for the season if the rule is adopted. It sounds like the other tracks will be implementing the option for this year. it will be discussed and decided at the February 5th meeting.

DON'T FORGET, N.E.W. DIRT IS A CLUB, AND ALL DRIVERS NEED TO BE MEMBERS TO RACE. OTHERS CAN PURCHASE MEMBERSHIPS TO RECEIVE THE DISCOUNT AT THE BACK GATE DURING THE SEASON, AND TO VOTE AT CLUB MEETINGS.

MEMBERSHIPS SHOULD BE PURCHASED BEFORE THE FIRST RACE TO HELP SPEED UP ENTRY TO THE PITS. ALSO, IF YOU BUY YOUR MEMBERSHIP AT THE TRACK YOU HAVE TO PAY FULL PIT FEES THAT NIGHT. BUYING THEM NOW ALSO HELPS THE CLUB GET THINGS IN PLACE FOR THE SEASON.
