Nebraska racing June 12 and 13

[rck]

Three events in two days, it will be wall to wall racing in Nebraska June 12th and 13th.
The weekend starts with a regular GPFTS program on the 12th at Butler County Motorplex in Rising City, Nebraska a 3/8th mi. track.
This will be the first time for motorcycles at this venue. As always there will be a 150% pay back in all the pro classes. Pro and amateur quads will run at this event. Sign in 4:00, practice 6:30, races 7:30.
Try to get a good nights rest because Sunday will be a busy day.
It's on to Nebraska Raceway Park (I-80 Speedway) on the 13th. NRP includes a short track and a wide, fast half-mile. The day starts with a short track which will be a regular GPFTS show with all classes including quads, this program will be shared with go-carts. Gates open at 7:00 AM for go-cart sign in, motorcycles and quads can enter at this time if they wish. Motorcycle and quad sign in is at 11:00 AM, practice 1:00 PM, heats 2:30, mains 4:30, with go-cart action in between.
Sunday evening there will be an abbreviated motorcycle program on the half-mile.
This show is in conjunction with two classes of late model stock cars (don't be alarmed the promoter assures me when the late models are finished with the track it's smooth and fast with rubber from top to bottom).
The classes for the evening are:
Pro 450, purse $800, $500, $400, $250, $150
Vintage Open Pro: $400, $200, $100
Open Amateur: 1st, 2nd, 3rd trophies
Pee Wee: This class will race around cones on the front straight (this class may not run depending on time restraints and the safety of the track). This show is a non-points paying race.
One pit pass will cover both shows on Sunday.
Entry fee per race: $25 amateur, $30 pro.

Randy,

Just an update. I spoke with Donald at I- 80 on Thursday. The posters and flyers were not finished yet. I explained that it would help get word out to more racers if I can get my hands on some before I leave for Gas City. He is going to do his best to finish them and get them down to this area by Tuesday.

As of right now, from what I can tell, both of these races have not been advertised at all. Kind of unfortunate....But if anybody wants to know why the stands and the pits are sparse, you'll know why.

Also, the little track at I80 that we'll be racing sunday is a 1/8 Kart track. You're gonna' need them deeeeeep gears kids.

Yes they are points races for the overall series.

And yes the race after that is the same weekend as Lamonte. (Note: ORIGINALLY when I spoke to Rick Yeager Lamonte was scheduled in JUNE)

I would think they would be our regular Vintage rules, 1975 and older.

[xl350]

Only 3 rules in that class, NO Hawbakers, NO Hondas and NO Yankees. Just kidding, Pat Orman.

The rules for the half-mile at I-80 for the Vintage Open class are the same as the GPFTS vintage rules. '75 and older or of like design, riders must be 30 years of age by date of event.

get him to come to a race early n
have a "tech" on suspension set-
ups.. many, myself for one ..run.
nice shocks and struggle w/ set-
tings as far as where and when
to adjust shocks different air pre
ssure in the tires, ect.. it would.

the riders would benefit with add
ed control= more safe racing, ect.
