Jack you and Gary have nothing to be sorry for yall tried.Yall just passed on the information that you were giving.They must be fine with their test and tune jackpot races. Waiting for track schedules to come out, but looks like I will be taking some gear out to run 1/4 mile at RPR unless their program gets butchered up.
Goodluck in Edinburg this weekend,bring that money back home!!!!

Like Paul 's comment said hats off to all specialy Jack and Garry for their effort. Most tracks are trying to make a profit there has been talk of a tax shelter,,and not becoming a profit center? That's to is easy to fix promote the fact that all profits go to charity, in these tough economic times. I am sure that many would like the donation from any source. if the ownership will think outside the box there are ways to make this happen !

Hey Folks now you all know me too well to think that I'm just going to lay down because they have made a choice not to have a Bracket program ! I'm not that **** easy to be swept in the corner - I was just passing on what info I received from Bob ! I'm not going to back down one bit about trying to open there eyes as to how we can make this work , you just never know what kinda rabbits I have in my hat or up my sleeve . Jack & I are going to talk and shake things up see what comes out . I think between him and I we can hash out some ideas to present to them that will make it worth there while ! Also on that note you have no idea who I've been trying to set up as sponsers for our program , I haven't even gotting all of them the info yet . Yes we have some great sponser that if presented the right package will shoulder some hefty purses and relieve some expense that the track is worried about . I'm willing to do everything I can to make this happen even if its a little later in the season , I mean it we deserve a place to race and for good once an for all. I will sacrafice every effort to get this done .

I hear you gary, I have an idea myself we can chat about. Like we talked about before, we only need their track, we can keep our own points and get a team together for the finals...I will say this, there is still alot of interest for a program out there. talk with you soon.

Thanks Jack we will make it work ! Talk to me when you have time if you want we can make plans to have lunch and a meeting . This track is key to a lot of great racing and it can be done in a very cost effective way , where everyone will be happy !

This stinks, was hoping to make a good showing out there in 2012.

Jack, Garry,, I know if anything can be done to put togather a racing program at Lonestar you will do it,, but don't think you are alone in this! I along with many other racers will help if called upon. We as a group have a lot of experince. utilize our business contacts to business mgmt experence. Many of us will answer your call if needed. Say the word !

GOOD TRY DUDES. I HAD ALOT OF GOOD TIMES THERE. GOOD TIMES .

Ok just to freshen this up a bit , myself and Jack are working on some details for our program . We will also have an awesome points break down for you too ! We will keep you all posted here , so have some open dates to do some racing at LoneStar .

YALL ROCK.

WAIT SO WE WILL RACE AT LONESTAR?

Yes one way or another we are going to make it work ! Keep checking this message board we will keep you posted . We are going to race at Lone Star like we used to -- points and all with a team . Updates are coming soon after the Holidays.

I hope this works out. I sure am looking forward to running in a bracket program at Lonestar raceway.

Thanks Gary and Jack for your effort on getting this done.

Yes we want this as much as you do so we are going to move forward with this . Will keep you posted and give you dates !

This is great news, but is there any way we can get some form of commitment from the owners? We've had our spirits picked up and then dropped again and again and it's just hard to be sure it's not happening again this time. Some of us have to use up valuable and limited vacation days to make these races and once we commit, we cannot change those dates. I want to race for an IHRA team more than anyone, but don't want to risk starting up the season and then the brakes get slammed on us.

I soooo hope this deal is for real.

I agree with Rowdy, we have to have some kind of commitment from the track. Need some set dates that the track will stick with and not just change at their convience. I appreciate what Gary and Jack are doing and I hope it works out cause I will be there, but the track has to be willing to commit.

Myself and Jack will be getting all the details to you all as soon as we can , showing how they can have a way to be cost effect will be paramount in doing this we are working on a sponser for a commitment to minimize expense . We have a workable deal for them !

Gary, what does it cost to rent the track for a Saturday event? What does that include?

Man, just look at the few different names on this message board. Jack, Rick, Gary,Bobby, Brain! This needs to happen one way or another. Ya'll get a bracket program going and I'll see about making enough races to be on the team. I miss the good ol days, man. CHEVA NOVA.... CHEVA NOVA! I can't believe I said that twice! Miss ya Bruce!

Hey guys any news on if we are going to get a bracket program going at Lonestar in 2012 ? I know it's January but feels like spring,, ready to get the hot rod out.. ( with tracks closing around the state in many cases for lack of suport,, ) we have what seems to be a commited group ready to run and support the Lonestar track ! Please tell me some good news !
