Date: August 6th, 2010

Hello Everyone -- Rock Falls Raceway  has a huge weekend of drag racing in store for everyone!!   We hope you'll be able to join us whether it's coming out to race or just to watch!!  We have a couple of special programs going on this weekend that you won't want to miss, so again we hope you'll attend.
 
First before I get to the details of the weekend, I have a couple of announcements:
 
Rock Falls Raceway has re-done the burn boxes in both lanes with brand new concrete.  We have also removed 33 feet of asphalt in each lane at the end of the existing concrete pad and replaced that asphalt with 33 feet of new concrete.  The transition from the concrete to the asphalt is now as smooth as ever!!  Come on out to the Rock and check it out!!
 
 
RACE SLICKS -- We're checking to see if anyone has any used slicks that they do not want anymore.  We could use them so if you want to get rid of them and don't want to have to pay to dispose of them, we'd be happy to take them.   Just bring them with you to the next event that you attend.  We are only in need of DRAG SLICKS ONLY, NO OTHER TYPES of TIRES!  Thanks much.
 
 
E.T. FINALS -- The Division 5 E.T. Finals is just around the corner.  It will take place in Topeka, KS the weekend of September 17-19.  If you are interested in attending on behalf of Team Rock Falls Raceway, the signup sheet is located at the Souvenir Window of the Concession Stand where you normally purchase your tech cards.  Now, in order to be able to attend and participate in the E.T. Finals you MUST be a member of Team Rock Falls and a member of our Gold Rush Points Standings.  Also a new rule to the E.T. Finals is that anyone who attends on behalf of any Division 5 Race Track MUST have ATTENDED at least 2 points races during the course of the 2010 race season, NO EXCEPTIONS.  So, if you have not attended at least 2 points races yet but are interested in going to the E.T. Finals, you have 2 races this month in which to get those in.  The team will be set after the last Bracket Race in August (the 29th) based on points tot als.  The Race of Champions spots for each class will be determined after the September 11 bracket race, the weekend before the E.T. Finals.  Any questions, please see Jennifer.
