8/31/10
Proposed 2011 Rules Package 600cc


inline image
Gentleman,

The time has come when we need to look at the fall meeting, which is to take place in September. 

We are proposing a rewrite to the rules, to make them be a list of items that can not be done to an engine. This will help eliminate many gray areas that now occur. The goal with the rewrite was to make the rules be the exact same, but eliminate the language used in the original rules that open up many gray areas. 

I attached the 2010 rules and the proposed 2011 rules to this document. Review them, make any suggestions to me by email. 

We would like to take a vote on this rewrite before the fall meeting by conference call with all the U6SA members. We would then approve or disapprove the rewrite. If the rewrite passes, we will then make our proposed rule changes based on the new rewrite.

Please let your track rep know how you would like him to vote.

Thanks,

Paul McCollum takes career first at Bridgeport
Paul McCollum started on the pole Friday night on the quarter mile dirt at Bridgeport, NJ and led the first eleven laps of the 20-lap Zmax – Keystone Legends Tour headliner. When Brian Weitzel and point leader, Pat McDermott, motored past on lap twelve, McCollum maintained his composure and took up the chase in third position. Two laps later Weitzel lost the handle on his #248 and spun in turn two, taking McDermott along for the ride and returning the point to McCollum. Even when Tim Bauer slipped under the leader off turn two on lap sixteen, a timely caution for a spinning George Abt put McCollum back in charge. On the restart McCollum reeled off the remaining laps with Bauer at bay to claim his first career Keystone Legends Tour win. Bauer crossed the stripe a solid second with Justin Grim, Clinton Penkauskas, and McDermott rounding out the top five.
Heat races for the sixteen car field were won by Brian Weitzel and Clinton Penkauskas..

With twin 15's on the docket for the all mighty 600cc Micros we saw the 026 of Jeff Hartman pick up where he left off 3 weeks ago after winning 2 in a row, then getting involved in a wreck the next week getting a dnf, and with the rain out last week. Jeff started the first feature this week in the 11 position and once again worked his way to the front winning the first of 2, 15 lap features on the night.  For the second 15 lap feature Jeff Hartman started in the 12 starting position and like clock work once again worked his way to the front and won his second feature in a row and 4th on the year at Bridgeports Fast and Furious Fridays on the Ό mile. It makes us wonder can Jeff be stopped?

We just heard 5/17/10 from Joe and he requested that we post this to let the racers know he is concerned and listening to them to try and do what he can within his control. Joe said he spoke to Jay and requested some help to get the track in better condition for racing for lack of a better wording. They will try and work it more this week and try some things and try to put a little banking in track to try and form a better second groove amoung other issues, etc. Joe also mentioned he will once again speak to the racers at the drivers meeting this week and once again for racers to help self control themselves when out on the track and not be running into other cars.
P.S. Racers speak to your class reps and let them know your thoughts and concerns and hopefully we can address our problems in a positive manner that is good for all parties involved, Teams, Management and the Fans.

TRACK OWNER JAMES ADDRESSES LARGE CROWD AT BRIDGEPORT SPEEDWAY MEETING

BRIDGEPORT, NJ (March 8, 2010) - A crowd of nearly 200 individuals  
assembled at the Holiday Inn in Swedesboro, NJ on Sunday, March 7th to  
pick up important documents including rules and hear track owner Jay  
James speak about the new season.

After thanking the crowd for taking time out of their schedule to  
attend the meeting, James spoke about a variety of topics including  
some changes for 2010. The major adjustment is going from a four  
division program to a three division show with the combination of the  
Crate-1 and Crate-2 cars into a Crate Modified class. ?Fans told us  
our shows were too long,? declared James. ?Going to a three division  
show will decrease the length of a show.? Also, James spoke about a  
consistent and fair method of enforcing the rules for 2010. For the  
upcoming season, each division will have a representative that will  
approach management with any issues. The drivers and owners present at  
the meeting were asked to vote on one person to become a spokesman for  
their division.
After paying out nearly $50,000 in 2009 point fund  
monies, James stated that the goal for 2010 is $100,000
. In addition,  
James informed Bridgeport Speedway Big Block Modified drivers about  
the new American Racer East Coast Modified Cup which will be 
officially unveiled in Syracuse, NY on March 13th.

The first laps of the 2010 season at Bridgeport Speedway will take  
place at the end of the month. On Saturday, March 27th at 1:00 PM, a  
practice session will take place on the big 5/8th mile track with the  
pit gates opening at 9:00 AM. A test and tune session for quarter mile  
competitors is on tap for Sunday, March 28th at 1:00 PM with the pit  
gates opening at 10:00 AM. If foul weather should occur on Saturday,  
March 27th, practice will take place for both ovals on Sunday, March  
28th.

Bridgeport Speedway provides a safe and secure family atmosphere, free  
parking, giveaways and fan participation games. Billed ?The Fastest  
Dirt Track in the East?, Bridgeport Speedway is a banked 5/8th mile  
dirt oval, featuring a dirt 1/4 mile oval embedded in the center, and
