JFYI Everyone.......(Letter from Larry)

THURSDAY: We will be able to get into the track at 4pm Thursday afternoon. Please do not try to go in before that time.If you need to drop trailers or rigs before 4pm, they will have to stay outside in the Gate 1 parking area.

ENTRY DURING THE WEEKEND: Firebird will have drag racers coming in thru gate 1 as well as us. 

YOU MAY GO TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENTRY ROAD AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE FIRST GATE, TELL THE SECURITY GUARD THAT YOU ARE GOING TO THE PROAUTOSPORTS EVENT ON THE EAST TRACK. 

That should get you in without getting caught with the drag racers.

FUEL: We get our fuel from SPEEDWAY FUELS. PLEASE BUY YOUR FUEL FROM THEM AT THE TRACK. We need to keep the sales level up or we risk loosing our fuel supplier. IF YOU WANT TO BUY A 55 GAL DRUM, CALL 602-276-9250 TO ORDER IT. They can deliver it to you at the track.

HOURS AT THE TRACK: Fuel will be at the track from 7:30am til 2pm each day. Make sure you have your fuel before they leave.

AGAIN, PURCHASE FUEL FROM THEM AND THEY WILL KEEP COMING OUT TO SERVICE US.
