Due to the interest already received for this show, even though we stated no changes would be made once the Preregistration began on January 10th until day of show @ the Driver's Meeting, there is one change we felt is necessary to help improve the Midwest Smash Fest! We apologize for not adding this from the beginning & want to thank all you Drivers around the country for always being honest & letting us know what you want. This show is about having fun & making it worthwhile for not only the Drivers, but also the fans! With that being said...here you go:
Special Announcement: *The "B Main" will have $$$ added (Top 5 will be paid) *Details will be posted here @ 6 pm central this Sunday, January 15th
Note for Anyone Sending in Entries: *We don't have a form for the show this year, so feel free to write the 5 criteria on a piece of paper or type it up & print off a sheet to send along w/ your check
Additional Classes (2 more to be announced): *This info will be announced & posted on Tuesday, January 24th by 10pm central

I apologize for not getting this posted by 6pm central...was watching the Green Bay/Dallas NFL Playoff game Here you go: B Main Payout for 1st-5th (technically 2nd-6th w/ the winning Team advancing to A Main) 1st: $1,800/Team 2nd: $1,600/Team 3rd: #1,400/Team 4th: $1,200/Team 5th: $1,000/Team
So, for the Team that doesn't get into the A Main, but gets 5th in the B Main for example...that would be $750 a Driver that Team would leave w/ if all Teams show up & we're able to give everyone their total Entry Fee back. We realize some things maybe should've been changed & in future years, part of the entry will probably be put into the Purse for B Main, but I didn't want to change it this year once we posted the info! Have a great Sunday evening! Going to watch the Steelers/Chiefs game now

ATTENTION:
Special Note: *For Anyone Interested in the "BONE STOCK" Class
Just to make something more clear for this class...
The Top 5 Drivers from the Bone Stock Class will get "Automatic/First Dibs" spot into the BONE STOCK Class ONLY for the "2018 Midwest Smash Fest"
This class is completely separate from the Team Show & Limited Weld Classes, because of the Car Build Rules
If you want a shot @ a Team in the "2018 Midwest Smash Fest", then sign up for a spot in this year's "Limited Weld One Heat Go Class"
Again...the BONE STOCK CLASS is separate from the Team Show
If you make Top 5 in this year's Bone Stock, if/when we open Preregistration for the BONE STOCK CLASS in the "2018 Midwest Smash Fest", those 5 Drivers will have "First Dibs" for that Class ONLY!

Rule clarification:
Have had a lot of questions with automatic transmissions in the past few weeks and days. I am making a formal announcement to make sure all drivers/builders who are wanting to run our shows, are all on the same page.
I will remind everyone one more time: 1. call first, 2. if it doesn't say to do it in rules than don't do it and 3. officials decision is final:
* We will not be allowing the extreme aftermarket transmission cases for any of our shows this year. A stock car case will be totally legit with a aftermarket aluminum bell as long as the case is not from a Copo Camaro for example, this particular make/model was built for extreme conditions on the drag strip.
This should be up for discussion next season prior to rules being posted and decided by drivers if this will be allowed or not. The sport has evolved to more horsepower and extreme comp and conditions. So I will make sure it's on next years agenda for rule discussion.
Call or text if you have questions and sure looking forward to seeing everyone run next weekend at King of the Ring.
Thank you, Vern

Geneva Team Show Rules Clarification(since I have had people bring some things to my attention) :
1. Fresh cars only will be allowed for team show and limited weld one run and done class. No exceptions period. Call with questions if you are a driver. 2. Front clip swap should be asked about like in past and if you have questions call only if you are a driver I can explain what's fair and what's not. 3. 8 gallon fuel cell max, will be enforced as stated in rules. If you are a driver call if you have questions. 4. Rust repairs please refer to page 12 Rule 18F. All rust repairs need to be approved by me prior to making repairs. If you are a driver of the show call first. 5. Transmissions should be stock and only have ultra bell bolted to front pump housing bolts and not the case itself. If you are a driver call first with the questions. 6. Leaf spring max thickness is 5/16".
Looking forward to the show and it's less than 56 days away now.
Thank you!

I heard 16 teams dropped out already, can't say i blame them. Guess I don't have to worry about making the 4 hour drive to watch anymore
