LATE MODEL NEWS
1. LATE MODELS WILL BE RUNNING FIVE TIMES IN 2017, PLUS THE FALL BRAWL. WE WILL BASICALLY BE RUNNING ONCE A MONTH. THE REASON BEING THAT WE CAN NOT SUSTAIN THE CAR COUNTS TO RUN A FULL SEASON. WE HAVE TALKED WITH MANY OF THE LOCAL TEAMS AND THEY SEEM TO THINK THIS WILL BRING MANY CARS BACK TO THE TRACK.
2. WE ARE GOING TO BE RUNNING 9" HOOSIER TIRES THAT WILL BE THE SAME PRICE AS THE 8" AMERICAN RACER TIRE. MANY OF THE TOP CAR BUILDERS AND RACE TEAMS THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.
3. WE WILL BE INSTITUTING A STRICT TIRE PROGRAM BEING:
1ST RACE – 4-6 TIRES, 2ND RACE – 2 TIRES, 3RD RACE – 4 TIRES,
4TH RACE – 2 TIRES, 5TH RACE 4 TIRES. TOTAL TIRE BILL $2,000 - $2,250
4. PRACTICE TIRES CAN BE PURCHASED AT WILL, BUT THEY WILL BE PAINTED AND SPECIALLY MARKED.
5. 3 RACES WILL BE 100 LAPERS, 2 RACES WILL BE 75 LAPPERS.
6. BUMP STOPS WILL BE ALLOWED THIS YEAR ON A VERY REGULATED BASIS. THERE WILL BE STRICT PART NUMBERS YOU WILL HAVE TO ADHERE TO. MANY OF THE TOP CAR BUILDERS AND RACE TEAMS THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA.
7. GREAT PURSES. SEE 2017 PURSES ON OUR WEBSITE.
8. RACES WILL BE HANDICAPPED. FIRST RACE DRAW, HANDICAPPED BY POINTS THE REST OF THE RACES.

TIGER SPORTSMAN
1. FREE TIRES, AMERICAN RACER TAKEOFFS.
2. BRANDING FEE IN 2017 WILL BE $20/INVENTORY TIRE. NO FEE FOR PRACTICE TIRES. ALL INVENTORY TIRES MUST BE BRANDED. DQ'd IF NOT.
3. ALL BRANDING MONEY GOES TO TIGER/SPORTSMAN POINT FUND. REALISTIC POINT FUND AMOUNT FOR 2017 LOOKS LIKE THIS: IF WE HAVE 15 CARS A WEEK BUYING FOUR TIRES EACH, THE POINT FUND WILL BE IN THE NEIGHBOORHOOD OF $18,000 TO BE DISTRIBUTED BACK TO YOU RACERS. IF THIS HAPPENS, WE WILL SEE THE CHAMPION RECEIVING EXCESS OF $5,000, UNHEARD OF FOR TIGERS. NOONE ELSE IS LOOKING AT THOSE KIND OF NUMBERS THAT RUN THE SPORTSMAN TIGERS. 2017 PURSES CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE.
4. TIGERS WILL HAVE 3 SPECIAL RACES IN 2017.
STREET STOCKS
1. AS YOU HAVE PROBABLY NOTICED ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, FOUR CYLINDER STREET STOCK DIVISIONS HAVE SEEN SIGNIFICANT DECLINES IN CAR COUNTS. IN OUR AREA THERE ARE TONS OF CARS SITTING AROUND ROTTING BECAUSE RACERS CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY THEIR TIRE BILL. AS WE LOOKED AT OUR ROSTERS FROM 2016, AND REALIZED THAT SEVERAL DRIVERS ARE MOVING UP DIVISIONS IN 2017 LEAVING US AN UNSURE CAR COUNT FOR, WE FEEL NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO GET RID OF THE $80 TRACK TIRE AND GO TO SOMETHING MORE AFFORDABLE. THE TIRE WE USE WILL BE A SHAVED TIRE, AND PRICED AFFORDABLE. WE WILL BE ANNOUNCING THIS NEW TIRE RULE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
2. A BIG $$$$ STREET STOCK SPECIAL WILL RETURN IN 2017
DAREDEVILS
1. DAREDEVILS WILL USE THE SAME TIRE RULES AS STREET STOCKS IN 2017.
2. DAREDEVILS WILL NOT BE AWARDED POINTS IN 2017. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, AND THERE SHOULD BE NO PRESSURE ON PERFORMING AT THIS YOUNG AGE.
CYCLONES
1. CYCLONES WILL BE A SPEEDWAY DIVISION IN 2017. THE RULES WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE NORTHEAST CYCLONES RUN BY JEAN LEBLANC AND DOUG SHANNON. THIS WILL BASICALLY BE A BONE STOCK DIVISION EXCEPT FOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS, CAMBER, ETC. WE WILL BE WORKING CLOSELY WITH THIS GROUP. CYCLONES WILL RACE AS A REGULAR DIVISIONS WITH CAUTIONS.
LADY ANGELS
1. 2017 WILL SEE THE RETURN OF THE ANGELS SERIES FOR WOMEN RACERS. THE RULES WILL BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE CYCLONES, AND WILL BE RUN ON THE SAME NIGHTS THAT THE CYCLONES RACE. AS WE RE-INTRODUCE THESE LADIES TO THE SPORT, THERE WILL BE FEATURES ONLY UNTIL CAR COUNTS ALLOW FOR HEATS. LADY RACERS MAY RUN A CAR FOR A CYCLONE DRIVER. THIS IS A GREAT HUSBAND AND WIFE TEAM PROGRAM. ANGELS WILL RACE LIKE A REGULAR DIVISIONS WITH CAUTIONS AND A LIMITED PURSE.
PURE STOCKS
1. NO CHANGES SCHEDULED FOR THE PURE STOCKS. WE NEED MORE CARS. TALK TO YOUR FRIENDS.
