6/6/10

I had put on Facebook before last two races bonus point would be given to Jr drivers that submitted their definition of "Sportsmanship". One last chance, Email or submit to me on Facebook the same question.. only those that did not submit one at Waco are allowed.. You have till 6/14/10 to get it to me.

My favorite one that was turned in..
"Fairness and following the rules, conduct and attitude torwards others, courtesy and grace of losing. Having respect for your peers and others on the track, and congratulate them. Have fun!"

Schedule has been posted. A couple of dates will be added. Looking at tracks, such as Grayson County Speedway, another date at Kennedale Speedway Park, and possibly 85 Speedway.

Bonus Points...
YGS will be adding bonus YGS points. Each event or action that is eligible for bonus points will be announced in advance of eligible events.
First bonus point event - 5 points to each driver that attends YGS event at Cowtown Speedway on March 13th AND also competes at Kennedale Speedway Park (next door) on the same night. This is a regular points night at KSP, and is NOT considered a YGS event. Races will be co-ordinated with each track to allow for time.



11/10/09

The '09 YGS Banquet will be Saturday, January 23rd in Mesquite, Tx. Prizes and awards for the '09 season will be given at that time. We are going to plan for a few hours of events, including good eats!! More info as it becomes availible.

I would also like to announce, KR Motorsports is the new title sponsor for the Young Guns Shootout Rookie of the Year awrds. Make sure you stop Kevin next time he's workin at Smiley's and tell him thanks!! (he really works for the city, not sure how Smiley's gets him... lol) Thanks Kevin, we really appreciate it!




11/08/09

WOW. That was a pretty good last race if I have to say so myself!!

Congrats to ALL of us. There were 60 different Jr Mini racers that competed with each other over the course of the '09 season. That's awsome!

We had a great finish to an overall good season, I appreciate all of your support.
There were 12 different Winners over 14 events, that's pretty good in itself.

Look for 2010 rules to be out in the next week.

Parents and car owners: If you were in the pits at Grand Prairie Speedway, you witnessed what the ultimate goal is for this series. It was kids being kids! This series started with of all things knowing the cars were not equal, nor would they ever be, due to many reasons. I still want you know that I dont care how much money you spend or how fast you can make your car, I care about the kids and their driving abilities and their willingness to compete in a responsible athmosphere. I want them to be able to compete periodically with kids they would not be able to compete with, without a series such as we have. Folks, we have kids in Houston that have become best buds with kids from BIG Tom Bean, Texas... that is worlds apart and relationships that would never have come together.
I have elvoved from wanting to see them all on the race track together to wanting to see their interactions with one another in the pits. It's simple things, not about how mad we can get at each other.

I also have to be the one to keep in mind, these kids do not build their cars. I really want you to keep that in mind before you send your Jr driver to tech area. I am here for the kids, however, in taking the next step with the series, in the end I can only hope you don't give me any reason to take from the kids. Folks, if its in our upcoming rules, it will be something that can be inforced!

We are again talking of venturing out into different areas of the state and reducing the number of events on our schedule. More info on that later.

Our season banquet will prolly be early January, more on that as well.

Thanks all, 2009 was good year for us all.
