This weekend Mar 25th the Lonestar 600's presented by K&K Earthworks will finally hit the track. With the end of the 2016 season being the best season we have ever had we are now ready for the 2017 season. During the off season we here at the Lonestar 600's have been working hard to make 2017 like no other. I can say without a doubt this will be a fantastic season. We have new sponsors, new tracks, and an amazing number of new registered drivers. We have more registered drivers to start the season then we had after the season was complete last year. That tells us we are going to have an amazing year. Our car counts are gonna go up this year.
This year the drivers are going to be fighting for a $4600 points fund in the 600's and a $1400 points fund in the Restrictor's. With the help of our sponsors K&K Earthworks, ARX Motorsports, Dragonfly Aviation, Ultrashield Racing Products, Day Motorsports, Smileys Racing Products. Pulse Innovations/EZ Tear System and Lil Tucks Truck Accessories we are able to pay that fantastic points fund.
As most have seen in our previous news release we are fortunate this year to increase our safety program to a new level. With the help of Ultrashield Racing Products we are able to do this. They are the official Safety Providers for our safety crew. We have purchased several fire extinguishers rated to fight methanol fires. We are also having a unit made for the back of our 4 wheeler to fight a larger fire if needed. Secondly we have a jaws of life that has been donated to our series to be able to cut a roll cage if needed without having to wait for the local fire dept to show up. This will allow the medics to care for the drivers faster when needed. Our goal is to improve driver safety and with this upgrade to our series we are able to do so.
With all that said this weekend Mar 25th we kick off the 2017 Lonestar 600's presented by K&K Earthworks at Gulf Coast Speedway. Drivers meeting and Draw closes at 6:15 pm. If you feel that you will be late please call or text Scot at 281-948-3737. We will be doing car inspections for the next several races so please if you can show up early as every car has to be inspected. It can get quite hectic the first couple races. Please take the final chance to read over all the rules and check that car one last time and make sure everything is tight.
Its almost raceday lets go racing.
See everyone at the track Sat night.
