Thursday practice canceled. Race is still ON for Friday night!

If you like that, go 'Like' the Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ark-La-Tex-Speedway/211681355569776

This race was originally set for Feb 24th & 25th (like last year) but more of last year's participants than we expected will still be racing in Florida then so the race was moved to our rain dates. According to the 2012 Late Model schedule at www.DirtonDirt.com , we still have that weekend to ourselves so let's race! It was a GREAT race last year!!! 100 laps of 3-wide Late Model racing with just 3 cautions and a last lap pass for the win by Ray Moore! The picture below, was the battle for the lead around half-way.

 
The clock on the wall at www.HooksRPM.com says 60 days to go!!!

And we're only 25 or so 'Like's away from 600 on Ark-La-Tex Speedway's Facebook page too! Come join us there...

From Ben Shelton on Midsouth:

"Klint Byars and Ross Camponovo are making their first trips to Ark-La-Tex for the Pelican. A full host of other MSR Mafia members are already planning on being there including Leon Henderson, Scott Creel, Billy Moyer Jr., Jack Sullivan, Bub McCool, Morgan Bagley, Timothy Culp, Ray Moore, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Clay Fisher, and more.

Canadian driver, Mike Balcaen, told me in Arizona that he would be making the trip down again.

Can't wait to get back down there for what was possibly the best race I saw last year.

- Ben"

Like last year, support classes at this year's Pelican 100 will again be restricted to two:

Factory Stocks & Limited Modifieds

We think 3 classes is enough for a Late Model show like the Pelican 100 as opposed to running 4 or more.

Agree?

The 2012 Pelican 100 Late Model rules are the same as they were in 2011 -

LOLMDS-type Car & Body rules. 8-inch max spoilers only. 2300 pound weight limit. 2200 pounds with steel block motor. Tires: Hoosier 1300, 1350, 1600 or any shoulder plated 55.
 
CHILDRESS RENTALS SECOND CHANCE race!

Adding one more qualifying race/non-qualifier deal this year.

On Friday the Late Models will time in and run heat races. That will lock some cars into Saturday's Pelican 100 and the rest into Saturday's B-mains.

Like last year, after the B-mains there will be a break. The first 10 rows of the Pelican 100 will be set by then. The 21st 'Lucky Dog' starting spot (worth at least $800) will be drawn from the non-qualifiers. Then the 22nd starting spot will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. So far, this is just like last year's format....

***NEW -- Then... 14 more names will be drawn from the non-qualifiers and lined up, 'heads-up' off of their Friday times for the 14-lap, $200 to start, Childress Rentals Second Chance! The top 2 cars will earn the 23rd and 24th starting spots in the $10,000 to win, $800 to start Pelican 100 -- $38,200 total A-main purse! The rest will be getting at least $200 just for having had their name drawn and having tried to race their way into the Pelican 100! Total payout this year is well over $40,000.

That means 15 cars in all that missed the top 20 in qualifying will get at least $200 back and it could be anybody. 3 of them will start the Pelican 100 -- one by draw and two by finishing first or second in the Childress Rentals Second Chance.

The rest of the non-qualifiers will get at least $75 of their $100 entry fee back. There will be another prize (prizes?) drawn by a non-qualifier too. They will draw another non-qualifier's name for a drum of VP-Plus Late Model fuel (a $500 value) thanks to Fast Fuel. More prizes could be added by then. So far at least 37 cars will go home with more than the $75 minimum but only ONE gets $10,000 and 'The Bird' of course!

Also new this year...

The NASCAR-style 'Lucky Dog Rule' will be used during the 100-lap race. When a caution comes out, the first car one or more laps down gets a lap back!

Thanks once again to Childress Rentals for kicking in even more at this year's Pelican 100 event!

Practice is one week from Thursday on March 8th and we race one week from Friday! March 9th & 10th! See you all soon!!!

[h=6]Due to the high cost of fuel, we don't want folks to travel for nothing. If you had plans of traveling today, stand-by. A decision will be made around 6PM tonight. We really want to get this in this week, but...well, we'll see later.[/h]
 
Thursday night's practice has been cancelled. Friday night's racing is still ON for 7PM. We want to give mother nature 24 more hours to be sure. Check back here tomorrow night for more information.
