We will again have an OPEN TIRE event
Tire prepping is ok, HOWEVER you must have tires wiped dry before setting kart on grid to keep the grid as dry as possible.
Last year the grid was wet & slippery which is very dangerous for everyone setting karts down & even just walking on grid. "This is for everyones safety"
Last year we also we had way too much prep tracked out from the grid which made a very slippery spot all the way into turn 2 which sent some drivers into the wall.
We will again have FREE ELECTRICITY!!!
We will again have FREE PARKING!!!
We will again have a FAST & SMOOTH TRACK!!!
Conccession stand will be open for food most all day.
THERE IS NO PRE-ENTRY!!!!!!!!!
THERE ARE NO LATE FEES!!!!
I would appreciate an e-mail letting me know,
Drivers name, class, kart number & home town so we can get as much info as possible for programs & pre-race show.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year & wish you all a successful 2010.
On behalf of myself & the entire Swiftel Thunder staff we all look forward to seeing everyone again in February.
Sincerly,
Mike Foster, Promoter

2008 277 kart entries & 1319 spectators.
2009 ??? kart entries & ??? spectators!!!!
Ya baby I'm excited again!!!!!!!

Re: 3RD Annual Swiftel Thunder Speedway Racing Event
mike tryed the clones last yr only to have a poor showing, I myself was suppose to bring 6 with me but everyone came up with an excuse not to go when it was show time. I beleive we only had 4-5, not enough for a good show in my eyes. Give the clones another yr and then invite them again by then their will be 10-15 as the class will be far enough north to draw some from the upper midwest and not the middle of IA.

Re: 3RD Annual Swiftel Thunder Speedway Racing Event
We are coming up with animals and flatheads, but will scab some karts together with two clones also if you decide to have the class.

Re: 3RD Annual Swiftel Thunder Speedway Racing Event
Mr Foster
What is the status of the clone class?
Lack of entry's last year?
No interest this year?
Something you as a promoter don't like?
Under consideration for future events?

Re: 3RD Annual Swiftel Thunder Speedway Racing Event
Actually I have no problems with a clone class & feel they are good for karting.
There are no clones in this area & we have no way to properly tech clone engines & that is why I didn't include them this year.
I am assuming that the majority of clones come from the waterloo area.
Would there be somebody from your area coming who would have tech tools & be willing to tech the clone engines?
I would prefer for for somebody to call me to email me so it doesn't get out of hand on this thread.
Sincerly,
Mike Foster

Re: 3RD Annual Swiftel Thunder Speedway Racing Event
Hi Hesston,
I haven't actually had very many requests for clones & do not have tech tools for clones as there are not any clones in this area.
If the clone racers are serious about coming I need to know ASAP & I will have tech tools.
I NEED ALL THE "CLONE RACERS THAT WILL COME" TO POST ON HERE.
IF there are enough for a good show I can make it happen.
Thanks Mike
