For compact/midsize semi weld guys, there is a correction with the rules that I didn’t interpret correctly. The smaller style of bead locks CAN be ran. Any other type will NOT be allowed. Sorry for the mix up. (Please pass this along, I will fix it in the rules.)

In what city and state is this derby in?

Roberts WI....

[gbr12]

We are just over two months away from show time. We will know more as we get get closer to the event, but with the calls and messages we are receiving, we are telling everyone to plan for heats. So be sure to bring tools and extra parts.

Also, even though you can register the day of the derby at the gate, we are asking if you have full intentions on running, to please pre register. This will help with getting pits ready, less clutter at the gate and will save you some money.

I will attach the link to get the preregistration form and the address to mail it to. (I am getting an updated one, but if you print off the one now, please write on there what class you are planning to run. If running more than one class, please fill out two forms, but may send just one payment.)

Thanks for all the interest so far. Please get ahold of me with any further questions you have.

Wagons CAN be sedagoned in FWD midsize chain and semi weld classes, as long as there is no welding done to them.

Messages have been coming in like crazy for numerous reasons, so once again plan for heats. Spread the word and for spectators and drivers alike, get there early. Seating and pits are limited.

Quick update:

We had a meeting with the Roberts Lions Club last night and there is a lot of enthusiasm from them on what we are bringing to the table and the direction this show is going.

With that being said, we are working on doing some work not only to the track itself, but expanding seating and pits. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like it will be done this year with the way the weather has been and some behind the scenes stuff not having the amount of time needed to do it, but I promise you that we are working hard to make this show one you will want to attend, not only this year but in years to come.

I will make a post now and a few more before show time regarding seating and parking in the pits:

• Seating is limited, not only for the pits, but also the stands, so get there early.

• We are expecting a good amount of cars this year, so we are not allowing any other vehicles in the pits besides trucks and trailers.

• With the pits being congested, impound may be a possibility. If heats are needed to be ran, you may work on them after you run.

• Trucks & trailers will need to be parked close together so no saving spots. This is going to be strictly enforced. If you and a buddy want to park by each other, I suggest you show up to the show at the same time.

• If you want a good spot to park and/or sit, I suggest you get there early.

• Inspection opens at 8am, but we will be there earlier for the early birds if you want to come then.

• If you show up to tech at 11:30 hoping we just pass you through, think again. We will start the show an hour late if we have to just to give everyone the same, fair tech.

• Plan for heats. So bring extra parts and tools. (We will use discretion, based on car counts and track conditions, if heats are needed or not.)

• There was a large amount of clay brought in a few years back to add on the track but with with no derbies the past few years, that has not been truly tested, so let’s hope for dry weather. We will do our best to get the best track conditions but only time and weather will tell. (As stated above, we are working on improvements next year if we can’t fit it in this year.)

***Reminder, preregistration is suggested but not required. It helps with congestion at the back gate and saves you some money. Let me know if you need it. The form on the website hasn’t been updated yet.***

Sorry so long, but wanted to make everyone aware of the situations at hand so no one can say we didn’t tell you. Happy building and hope to see everyone June 4th!!!

Reminder for all the Midszie/Compact Weld drivers, this is NOT a full out mod/5 foot class, so keep that in mind when adding steel. Thank you!!!
