2012 NeFigure8n Season Driver Update

[nefigure8n.com]

Hope everyone is almost ready for the 2012 season to get going and it looks like the first close figure 8 race will be in Council Bluffs in May! Sounds like it is a big track and will have flat corners, but more tires in the corners similar to what we experienced in Lincoln a few county fairs ago.

A few things we wanted to touch base and bring everyone up to speed on.

2012 Points/Sponsors
This was a great week for working with potential sponsors so we have decided to make some changes to the points series this year. All drivers who want to run for the points in 2012 will be allowed to run for free again this year, you will just be required to run the major sponsors decals on your car that will be provided. I don't think this is too much to ask since those companies are paying for the trophies and money that will go into the points purse. AJ Hansen has designed some really cool trophies this year for points and as soon as the final drawings are done we will post it.

With the sponsors that we have gained so far they will take care of all of our expenses for championship race trophies, points trophies, printing of schedule and fliers and other advertising that is done to promote the 2012 season, Any other money brought in by drivers from local sponsors will go directly into the 2012 Points Fund. If you need the advertisement email please email [e-mail] to request it.

Driver Bios
If you haven't already done so please update and make any changes to your driver bio or if you haven't already done one please complete the driver bio form attached below and send back to [e-mail]. Please let any new drivers that you know so they can be included as well. We will be printing some fliers that will be handed out free at all of the races that will include the drivers name, number, town, and if room a sponsor or two. For those that are sending in updated bio information please put your sponsors in order from biggest to smallest so if there is room on the flier we will include the sponsors listed first.


NeFigure8n Website
Currently Mike is in the process of revamping the website that will allow him to customize it a little more. The early pictures I have seen look very cool! He is hoping for it to be up in the coming weeks so keep checking out www.nefigure8n.com for the revamped website.

Is there going to be only 9 in state races this year?

[nefigure8n.com]

I have heard there are going to be some others but I don't have official dates for them yet. I have heard one place (Osceola) that isn't planning on having a race but I assume most of the others will be. I just don't have the info yet.

Been asked if the Council Bluffs races are apart of the NeFigure8n points series. They are not apart of the points this year, but should be fun races.

We have talked to and confirmed that Lincoln, Geneva and Aurora are having figure 8 races in 2012. Mike is working on getting all that info onto the schedule. The Lincoln race will make one weekend have four races in four nights which will be interesting.

If you haven't checked out the new NeFigure8n site make sure you do! Mike has done a great job getting switched over to the new host and creating the new look. He still has stuff to add and is slowly working on it. Should be really cool once he gets it all wrapped up!!!

seward figure8 is on a sunday this year, or is that a miss print?

[racemaster20]

it is on sunday day after york

[nefigure8n.com]

Yes Terry is correct. Seward moved their fair up a weekend and instead of having it the same night as York they are going on Sunday night and the Seward derby is Saturday night.

I believe the schedule posted now is only missing St. Paul that I am aware of but I don't know a date for sure on it.
