Facility / Upgrades / Super Figure 8 Tires / Rules

A big thank you once again to our staff and volunteers who battled the cold, the wind, the rain or otherwise a typical weather week!  All of the barrier walls are stripped, the bleachers, the stairs and the frontage to the track are ready for paint. The track sweepers / vacuums removed 4 loads of dirt, rocks and debris from the track today. With the brief weather break, we could have ran a tire test!

Work continues on the office to be open by March 1st.  The safety lights that are up will be enhanced next week by four more new Whelen's.  New light fixture areas will create a new look for the SF8 drivers with visibility coming from four sides and great presence coming through the intersections. Replacing the UKE tires will be better driving lines and plastic barriers. These easy to move barriers will be front end friendly while maintaining the integrity of the track dimensions.

Nu-Tread tires today made the commitment to produce tires for the 2011 season should we choose them to do so. Prices for the Nu-Tread would remain the same as 2010.   We continue to negotiate a New tire in the 80 dollar range.

As a reminder for 2011, the SF8 amendments were posted some time ago.  This is the complete rules should there be any questions.

NASCAR Green Initiative

 

NASCAR Track Operators Business Meeting in Daytona, FL

by Shon Sbarra

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR Whelen All-American Series and NASCAR Touring Series track operators and promoters kicked off Speedweeks in Daytona Beach with their annual business meeting Saturday at Daytona (Fla.) International Speedway.

The event got underway with an address from NASCAR President Mike Helton, who explained how important the developmental levels of the sport are to NASCAR.

“Everyone here is as critical to the health, well being and future of NASCAR as the company’s senior management and its most high-profile personalities,” said Helton.

He also asked the tracks in attendance to join the effort in becoming more environmentally aware.

“I ask each and every one of you here today to join (NASCAR) in becoming a good neighbor to the environment and engage yourselves within your community,” he added.

The environmental initiative was part of an announcement that the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series programs are going to join the campaign headlined by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series to plant trees in select markets based on the number of green flags waved throughout the season. The goal is to help combat the carbon footprint made by NASCAR events.

The markets selected for 2011 are Seattle, Wash.; Denver, Colo.; Columbus, Ohio; Minneapolis, Minn. and the state of Connecticut. They were selected due to the presence of a NASCAR Whelen All-American Series track and not being a market currently involved with the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program.

In addition to Helton, Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR’s senior vice president for racing operations, spoke of the need for a combined effort to help grow the sport.

“If something works for you, then chances are it will translate and work for NASCAR’s highest levels,” he said. “You all have great passion for this sport and NASCAR wants to hear from you.”

Following that session, the track operators and promoters attended an afternoon seminar on the growing importance of social media in today’s marketplace.

Later, the attendees were on hand to watch the Budweiser Shootout in the first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event on the recently repaved track.

Thank you Volunteers

I would like to thank over 30 volunteers who came out Saturday morning and helped in the restoration process of Evergreen Speedway!  Pressure washing, sanding, and general clean up duties began at 10am and lasted until dark. The pride of community and the track are alive and well, of which I cannot thank everyone enough. We will have work parties over the next few weeks.  We completed the 5/8s barriers and moved to the inside walls of the 3/8s.  The Grandstands and walkways are being freed from layers of wind, water and sun spots. The Officials and VIP booths are being updated with a new face lift.  The race office should be done this next week.  Will be nice to have a desk!

Next Saturday we will continue on pressure washing, sanding, and weed eating!  If you would like to assist in the project please send at email to stefanielamascus.@yahoo.com
