Forgot, could someone try to open up some files under 2009 race results
and let Jayson know if they open? They work for me. He is working on a new
website for UTAC and needs the files for class. Just go to files and you will
see 2009 race results. Let him know, he is member js_
hanks. Thanks

Hey Gang, The track is ready to run same  track design for the Hanks 50 as every

cars. Got 44 new cars in at ProRail and some parts come check em out pretty cool

John to UTAC
Pictures of the Busscher 50 are posted, I put them in with the 2008 photos to
save space.
  Incidentally, Ed and Eric were last years winners of this race

John Busscher hear:  I probably won't make the race because of a previous
engagement, Shriners Bass Tourney on Rend Lk. I have to be on the water by 4:30
am to check in. I just don't think I can stay up all night racing and fish all
the next day.

   Sounds like Hanging Rock Speedway is putting on a heck of a show, I will
certanly miss competition on the massive oval. Just don't let Murder Inc take
everyting, someone give em some competition!!!!!!!!!!!!!

up for sale with no takers as of yet. The track is a blast for certain classes
,BUT if i want to finish the garage off soon and i'm not wanting to put it back
up afterwards do to it requiring me to move out 3 cars to use it. Thus during
the winter time it doesn't get used. This could mean it gets sold or just not
put back up? A few racers missed the last race that usally come and i want to
let everyone know that the money payout was good the last time it will be even
better on the 26th with 3 - 100 lap feature races!! WOW

Hey Marty, Jeff and I plan to attend, and maybe Jason. Love the food and the

Got the track set up for the 7th Annual Busscher 50. The Busscher track is the
narrowest of all UTAC tracks we run on ever year, having just one 9" straight in
between the turns. The track is 41ft on the inside lane.
  ProRail will have some great deals on LifeLike T-Chassis cars tomorrow
as we try to move some of those with bodies that no longer qualify for the Late
Model class including
#4 Kodak Chevy $13,
#22 Cat Dodge $13,
#10 Valvoline Pontiac $13
#32 Tide Pontiac $13,
#24 Dupont, #44 Kelloggs Twinpak $20
all chassis except #4 have the newer red arm,
and the #24 & #44 are still eligible for LM
this year, all the bodies will race in the
Challenge class.
Also have the new SG+ grey chassis in stock.

Hey man, do you have a new number? Nobody can get ahold of you.
Call me at: 618-599-5731. Need to talk about the Winter Series.

first place trophy for each class. This year marked the 20th running of the Mid

Hope everyone enjoyed the races and look forward to another big event next year,

The MidSeason Championships kicked off last Sunday with the Sportsman Special
300 and Ed Holtz walked away with all 3 trophies in the marathon event.
  A record crowd showed up at ProRail Speedway with 16 drivers and 91 cars. Ed
won the Sportsman and Modified features from lane 5 and the Late Model Sportsman
race from lane 6.
  Ed is not the first to achieve this feat as Gary Boyd also won all 3 races in
2007.
The wins moved Ed into first place in both the Driver and Owner Point Standings
in the 3 classes.
  Hopefully John will have some photos posted soon. The Race Results, Point
Standings and Driver Standings can been seen in the Files section.
Thanks to all who participated in this historic UTAC event.

Good to hear from ya, hopefully Zac will get back into racing if you do. Scott.
