Put the new shocks & brake lines in the car this evening. One car finished, one car 75% and one car at about 25%. Passenger class cars are not even at "The Shop" yet...so we shall see how that goes.

Very true, Aaron...and I buy them 50% done. I figure there is no point giving 110% if I'm getting whooped by Oney Racing every year. I am hard at work on these cars...gone through a lot of JB Weld, zip-ties, and duct tape. Hope they don't fall apart heading to the fair.

Hey everybody, my name is John Gray, I’m the Richland County Fair board member in charge of the demo and have driven it since 1994. There are a few things were going to try this year as a trial run and need your participation and opinion. 1st, please notice the start time was moved to 5:00pm. Past years have always been 7:00.
2nd, we are printing a program that will be passed out when purchasing tickets at the gate (for free). This will include some information about various rules we build our cars to. A small bio about Dale and the inspectors, and include pictures and information of around 10 or so different drivers. I will divide these spots up between adults, a couple of the youth and power wheels kids as well. I have a couple spots that may already be filled, all others will be chosen at random. All I ask is that you make sure your car will be present and ran.
3rd, we will be placing a handful of cars on the track in a fenced in area several hours before the start of the derby. These cars will need to arrive around noon and be completely built. No working on them and must pass inspection on the 1st attempt. They will remain in this area until the start of the derby. Bryan said he will send an inspector over to them. This area will be fenced off so only the grandstand spectators have access to it. This will allow them to see these cars up close if they choose. Maybe a crazy idea but were going to try it. I’d like a variety of full size, compact, youth and a couple power wheels. I will also need to have some info about your car that can be placed with it as well. Make, model, where it came from, purchase price, etc. Entry fees and gate admissions still apply. Gates will be closed to all others until the usual time.
4th, raffle car. I’m not sure on the raffle car Dale has always done. I’ve heard there was one but I can’t confirm. However, my daughter has outgrown her power wheels so were going to offer it up as a raffle power wheels for a little one in the grandstands. If there’s a raffle car being built, please let me know.
If you’re interested in any of this, please text, email or let me know on here. It will be late July before this is put into motion but I’m sending out the information we need now. These ideas may also be scratched at any time. Thank You John Gray #818 bigtandlumpy@yahoo.com text 419-571-4732

I wouldn't have a problem putting a car on display for the crowd, just have a couple points to raise. Will there be someone keeping an eye on the cars? Can we get inspected prior to entering? That will make it a lot easier, in my opinion.

I would be willing to put my 80s stock-class car out for people to see. I would even be willing to hang around and answer questions for the fans if they have any.

Still working on ideas of keeping watch over these cars, that's the 1st thing I thought of. I would like to say I could be down there but I can't guarantee that. Brian (McKeever), if you would be willing to sit there that would alleviate a lot of concerns, also if you have any purple Hatfield stickers left, I'd like to buy two of them. As far as inspections, whenever Mullins and his crew arrive is the best I can say for now. I talked with Brian (Mullins) yesterday and we both agree anyone willing to sit a car out in the open shouldn't have an inspection issue, I just don't what this idea to turn bad if someone questions why certain cars were inspected to early.

All cars will be inspected the same whether or not they are volunteering to display them for the fans. Officials have the final say on when these cars will be done. Obviously these cars will be inspected early to allow time to display them. I see no issues arising!! Right derby drivers?!?!
