Here's some words from me, Jason:

If you are even remotely concerned about money for next year's racing, you really need to attend this seminar.

Unless you're living under a rock or have been practicing for the role of Helen Keller in the community play, you know economic times are getting tough and money won't be spread so liberally - as if it was last season.

If you think that purses are going to go up, you are mistaken. Yeah, maybe Knoxville's looking to bump up their purse but everyone else is going to let them be the first to try. Gas may be going down, but the cost of parts isn't, and remember all the complaining of $2.50/gal gas the previous year as being expensive.

Anyone knows that to move up to the next level, one has to get out of their comfort zone. Maybe you go to a new track, maybe you take on tougher competition, maybe you start investing time and money into making the car go faster instead of just maintaining.

And when the money's tight it takes more than asking your buddy or your boss for a few bucks.

For less than the price of a case of after-the-race beer, (or for only a few in the stands when you run out of money to race), you can get knowledge to reach more people, with more opportunities to get you the money you need to keep going or get ahead. And this knowledge will stick with you your whole racing career.

Dover Destined For 21st Annual Short Track Nationals

By Team Dover Media

SPRINGFIELD, Neb. (Oct. 22, 2008) -- Following a pair of podium finishes
with the O'Reilly American Sprint Cars on Tour National series (ASCoT), Jack
Dover and Team Dover Motorsports will now set their sights on the 21st
Annual Short Track Nationals at I-30 Speedway in Little Rock, AR.

Dover has spent the last two weekends racing in the state of Texas and
recorded a third place finish at the Cowtown Sprint Nationals in Kennedale,
TX, on October 11. One week later, Dover raced the 3D Auto Transport, RMS,
Eckley powered Eagle to another third place finish at the 35th Annual
Devil's Bowl Winter Nationals in Mesquite, TX.

"We haven't had very good luck at the Short Track Nationals the last two
years, but we did learn a lot about the place." Said Dover. "This year we
expanded our schedule and hit quite a few more short tracks and ended up
with some good results, I'm really looking forward to Little Rock."

I-30 Speedway is located off I-30 at the Alexander Road Exit 126, on the
east bound side of the interstate in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Jack and Team Dover Motorsports would like to thank their 2008 Sponsors: 3 D

What's Up

After getting a few emails, I'm alive and well - I just hadn't really had much updating to do, but I haven't had time or desire to go through other track's sites and convert their results from another service to something I can post online.

I hear there's a race this weekend out west, but I didn't get anything about it.

What's it take to just write a simple 5 w's release? And you wonder why the paper doesn't write anything about you...

But I digress.

Anyway, I do have a few things in the pipeline, including a couple of editorials...one has been sitting on my laptop for about 3 months now. I also think I have a few photos I never put online...
