For the 2017 season the Lonestar 600's presented by K&K Earthworks LLC has set a goal to make driver's safety it's top priority. We are extremely proud to announce the 2017 Ultrashield Racing Products Safety Crew. With their partnership we are able to take the idea of fire safety to the next level. We have also been in contact with a local fire equipment vendor to help drive down costs so we can acquire more equipment. The Lonestar 600's will be taking the first steps to show how important driver safety is. We will be working to purchase fire extinguishers that are made to fight methanol fires. These extinguishers will be placed in each corner of the track. Along with purchasing several more to outfit several officials. With the help of Ultrashield Racing Products we are also going to be getting several firesuits to have the ability to fight a fire and work to get a driver out in extreme cases.
The importance of driver safety is at our top priority. We travel to several different tracks and we would like to have our own safety crew on hand to be able to assist and add extra help to the tracks crew. Knowing that no matter what, our extinguishers that we will have will be reliable and made for our application. The idea of having our own couple of guys that know our cars and drivers will be fantastic. With that said we are by no means are saying any of the tracks are in the wrong or not prepared. We are simply giving our drivers just that much more safety.
We are actively looking for donations to be able to purchase all this equipment. We are also seeking a 4 wheeler of some sort to be able to allow the Safety Crew to respond on. We have a few family's that have already stepped up and started the donations. We currently have $540 in the fund. This is a great start and lets us here at the Lonestar 600's hit the ground running. Also we are looking for several volunteers that are willing to travel to the races with us. We would like to have 4 volunteers to be at our call in case one of the volunteers cant make it that night. If you would like to be on our Ultrashield Safety Crew contact Scot.
If you would like to donate there are several ways. You can send money to our Paypal acct at scotmaust@gmail.com as well as contact Scot to arrange for a donation.
