Not all racers and spectators monitor this web site so please pass this around so noone will be caught not knowing. Thanks for helping. I know the question is coming so here is the answer. No we are not adding in make up races for the rain out 2 weeks ago. It was called a wash out and won't be made up. We appreciate all our people, both front gate and back, and hope we are doing our best to make CCS your favorite speedway. As always contact me by PM or by phone (352-400-3425) if you need anything.

Our owner, gm and tech man were there and answered any and all questions the 50-75 people that turned up had to offer. Many things were addressed and here are some of the rulings set forth. EFFECTIVE TODAY 08-13-09 1. THE SPIN RULE Nobody is happy with the way the speedway makes "the calls" when a car spins during a race. There are no more spotters. The track will no longer determine who is to blame for a spin. If your car spins during an event and brings out a caution flag, you will go to the rear of the field. It does not matter how or why you spun. If more than one car spins then all go to the back. If you stop on the track because the racing surface is blocked by an accident and you don't make contact then you will get your spot back. If you make contact and stop then you are "involved" and you go to the rear. We no longer use spotters or make calls so only the stopped and involved cars go to the rear. Bumping, pushing, rubbing and grinding are all part of short track racing. Car control is what racing is about, whether you are leading, following or side by side another car. This is not an open season for rough driving sign. The flagman, at his sole discretion, will black flag drivers for rough driving. A bumping incident does not constitute rough driving so don't complain to the flagman or the track staff that someone hit you and he should have been black flagged. Rough driving requires multiple incidents in a race. The flagman will clarify what it will be and it is " his discretion". 2. PROFANE LANGUAGE Anyone using profanity or "cussing out" an employee of the race track will be removed from the property. Likewise, if any employee "cusses out" someone at the speedway, they should be reported immediately to the gm for disciplinary action. All employees at the race track will be treated with respect and they will treat everyone there with respect also. Many topics were discussed today. Don went over rules and race procedures. Travis went toe-to-toe about tech. When you have more than 1 person in a group, not everyone is going to be satisfied all the time. The speedway and staff are open to suggestions on how to make it a better program. Don't just scream that something is wrong, tell us how it should be changed to make it better. Don't just show us the problem, show us the solution. CCS is 50+ years old. Many people here are 2-3 generations deep at our speedway. You've grown up here and have family here or think of each other as family. Families fight, families make up then they have fun together. Go have fun together. =================================================================== CLASS RULE MODIFICATIONS Posted by Johnny on June 7, 2009, 10:01 pm Message modified by board administrator June 28, 2009, 2:21 am 06/06/2009 - Addendums PURE STOCK & V8 THUNDER STOCK & 4 CYLINDER BOMBERS ---------------------------------------------------- Coil Spring must match coil for coil. 1/4" tolerance of free height there is a .035 tolerance for difference of wire diameter.
