Default Childrens Home Benefit Track Day at Steele Moved to Saturday Mar. 1

Everyone is invited to Steele Alabama on Saturday Mar. 1 for a track day benefitting the Babtist Childrens Home located in Eldridge Alabama. The home is in a cash crunch due to the rising insurance cost associated with the vans used to transport the kids. This will be a replay of past events with prizes given for quickest Ford, GM, etc.....

It will be a good time had by all for a good cause. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Just added these gift certificates...

Quickest GM.... $100.00 Thunder Racing

Quickest Ford.... $100.00 Bennett Racing

Best mph ..... $100.00 Texas Speed Inc.

Quickest manual trans... $100.00 Ram Clutches

More to come!!!!

Joe, I've never been over to Steele. What's this I hear about all these potholes?? Is it a well prepped track? Would love to come over for the benefit, so please dispell these myths.

Potholes...haha. I told you that. I have heard nothing but good things about steel. Most say it hooks like no other. I'll head over there after I get my headers and subframes on.

Heard the potholes thing from a couple other guys too. I say it's a load of <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> If it's that bad, nobody would run, so count me in!!

I didn't say it was bad. I'm sure its a dip in the road, which from person to person has become a "pothole"

If you know where it is it's easy to avoid. i'll look foward to seeing you guys there.

We have these big track days twice a year and the track prep is always good. 150 to 200 cars is the norm... Pits are large and are all asphalt.

Hey Joe, That is really cool that you have taken your free time to contact sponsers and set this benefit race up. You are truely an ANGEL. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I wish I lived closer, I would definately attend. Good luck and have fun.

I have the highest respect for him and if he says they need help they need help...
I hope that we get a good turnout. The track owner is giving up a good portion of his gate fee to the home so the more people that come the more money the home gets.

I just talked to Judson at SAM and the school is donating a complete set of Felpro race gaskets to the quickest car of the day...
