Purple Mafia meeting notes......so this is what we will do. Let's get the racers excited and after they all register lets announce tire rules where at least all the locals will need to go out and buy new tires! Hey, these racers will have some Xmas monies so let's get that before the holiday...
So Slick Sammy Driggers and his partner in crime Brian Carter are now convinced that 20s on the LR and RF will work at every track. Eldora had unusual weather and is a far different track than others. In addition, I will say that there were more tires sold at Eldora than any previous year...
just curious...when is the last time any of you racers, pit crew members or racing fans have seen tires being tested? Seems like UMP has given up on this. Will this be the final straw for the low budget teams? Your input please.
Many of you probably know Chuck Smith from Stealth Carbs/Performance Race Engines.He hangs around some of our tracks during racing season. He owns a classic GTO Judge that will be featured on this show on Weds night at 8:30. The show is entitled "THE hippie and the Judge". It should be a hoot!
Rodney Standerfer (#28) has decided to concentrate on his modified this year. I am happy to announce that Jon Ripperda will be driving our Mastersbilt in 2014. Jon's schedule is not set in stone but we do expect him to race at Belle-Vegas, i55 and Highland.
Good luck Jon!
What a great race! Timmy Hill drove the wheels off that thing. All those guys did an awesome job!
Thought for a minute that Timmy was gonna get two feature wins.

Please keep Mike in your thougths today. He is sorely missed. I miss his humor and his always positive attitude. I will send some pics for Jimmy to download and asking you guys to do the same.
Linda is featured, standing under an umbrella at Belle-Vegas, in the "One To Go" section of the Speedway Illustrated October Issue. It is safe to say that is the best picture of Linda that I have ever seen.
Duck your heads boys. Incoming!!!
