FE Race & Reunion Update and Request
« on: January 11, 2013, 12:02:03 PM »
Doug Bender and myself are having a meeting with the Beaver Springs Dragway track owner, "Beaver Bob" McCardle tomorrow morning. This meeting is just to discuss the progress of he event as we move towards 4-27-13. My question to you guys is there anything you would like to see happen at this event? After all the event is for all of us FE guys and we want to make it something you guys enjoy!!

Just to recap this event is open to ALL FE powered vehicles. The entire facility will be devoted to nothing but FE powered vehicles. We won't be over run with 5.0 Mustangs!!!!

There will be a FREE car show for FE powered vehicles with trophies awarded. There will be three drag racing classes, Hot FE 0-12.99 and Street FE 13.00-and slower. We will also have a quick 8 dial in race for the 8 quickest FE powered vehicles determinded during time trials. There also will be tons of time for those who just want to make time shots without worrying about eliminations. Grudge races are very welcome!!! We are also working on a few match races involving some very cool and fast FE cars. The track prep will be on kill and "Beaver Bob" will be racing his own '63 427 Galaxie!!

Oh, yeah it's free to be a spectator too!! What other event does that???

Our own Barry R. and his Survival Motorsports have come on board with the title sponsorship of the event and will be there to discuss and show his new heads along with hopfully racing his own car.

There will also be numerous other vendors there with their FE related products.

BangShift.com will be there and covering the event for their awesome website too.

So to get back to my original question, is there anything you all would like us to discuss with "Beaver Bob" tomorrow? (within reason) LOL... No, we can't make Beaver Springs Dragway closer to your home.....

I used to help with Tech at BSD ( my Home track ) Helmets are required on 13.99 and quicker , or any convertible, should be Snell approved , but I would bet if you have any good helmet ( for the 11.50- and slower classes it will be OK , faster is a more strict ruling ( as it should be )

Check out our website for many event updates including race purses.  Some of the highlights from our meeting are below.

Track owner "Beaver Bob" McCardle has offered an extra $50 in appearance money to those Nostalgia Super Stock cars that attend both the FE Race and Reunion and York US30 Nostalgia Nationals held on 7-14-13. The appearance money will be paid at the July race. That's $50 bucks just for racing at two of the coolest events around with your FE powered NSS car. Check out the linked website or our FB page for more information. If you have any questions let me know.

We are still looking for more sponsors for this event. 100% of ALL sponsorship dollars goes to the racers purse. Beaver Springs Dragway is not taking a dime.

A $100 sponsorship gets you an event t-shirt, fed for the day (great food!!) and the ability to post a banner at the track if you have one. You will also be recognized over the PA for your sponsorship during the event. You do not need to be a business to sponsor.

Thanks

That would be great guys if you can do it.  Jay has already graciously offered his great book for a door prize. 

Remember this is Spring Carlisle weekend.  Beaver Springs is 45 minutes or so from Carlisle.  This is a great opportunity for you out of town guys to come in for Carlisle on Thursday and Friday (best two days) and then hit the Beaver on Saturday.  We have discounted motels listed on the Beaver Springs Dragway website.

50 years of the 427 on 4-27!!!
