Hello Everyone!
There have been many calls and emails over this past week about Evergreens rules and schedules. It is our intent to finish and post the rules in the coming week. Many of our meetings at WARPA, the RPM Conference in Reno, and this past week in Charlotte have one universal theme in mind. Try to get it right the first time! As everyone knows in today's world, travel is no longer fun. Working with local and regional tracks on scheduling and rules has been our mission from the start. We are close on all classes, with NO major changes for the coming year. As we have stated from our first meetings, let's get the 2011 season rolling without increasing expenses with rules and parts that exist now, and to overlap and honor area track rules if possible. The goal over the next one to three years is to work closer and communicate with neighboring tracks that benefit everyone. Everyone is the teams, the fans, the sponsors and the tracks. Lowering costs and raising car counts is the ultimate goal. It is in the best interest of our sport, if the quality of racing is good at every track.
There are plenty of reasons that teams are not running. The economy and the cost to run on a regular basis have to be the most obvious. We believe some of the areas concerning cost controls, front and back gate, purses,and car sponsor incentives will be addressed when we announce our new policies. Being driver friendly is as important as being fan friendly. Actually, more so. We have not finalized the tire or fuel vendors. Every sponsor will be charged with giving back to the drivers and teams. Whether it is point funds, weekly contests, or simply rewarding consistent attendance at the track, Evergreen and its sponsor partners will make it fun to run!
