Butler County Motorplex Race to Remember 9/11/09

From Travis Johnson, Flagman Butler County Motorplex

The card for the night will feature 360 sprint cars, A-Modifieds (IMCA rules
no sanctioning), and the GOTRA's. We are working on bringing in what I
believe is a "modern" lite class. I will get more info out on this later on
in the year.

This is a race to remember Nebraska's fallen soldiers in Iraq and to those
lost on 9/11. We will have families from across Nebraska present who lost
family members in Iraq. In the works is a very special tribute the Nebraska
National Guard will do. We are working on getting a funnel cake vendor,
potato spiral vendor, and a sno cone vendor. The 360 sprint cars will pay
$2001 to win and the modifieds will pay $911 to win.

I am working very hard on getting race product sponsors as well as anyone
who will donate something to be raffled off that night. The spectators and
drivers will have to purchase raffle tickets in order to win these products.
All the money will be donated to a 9/11 charity as well that night. We have
businesses who have donated a few things and then some who are sending tons
of products. Anywhere from race tires, headers, car cleaner, restaurant and
entertainment gift certificates, tickets to comedy shows, etc will be given
away that night.

The big plus right now is going for the modified drivers. I am in
negotiations will BMS to bring their 2010 house car to the show and they
could very well give away a brand new BMS modified chassis to the winner
that night. Nothing is set in stone for this though. But I am working on it.
This show will take place during the Supernationals in Boone, Iowa but I
feel what better time to have it than on this date. This will give the
driver who can't compete with all the high dollar race teams in Iowa a
chance to win some really good pay and prizes at this show. We do expect
standing room only and we will try and get something setup on the website
for prepay tickets so you don't have to wait in line to purchase tickets
that night. New information will come along as we go through the year.

We do have a very special t-shirt for this show as well that we debuted at
the Columbus swap meet. We are selling advertising spots on the back of the
shirt for $75 if you would like to have your business's logo put on the back
of it. A portion of that will be donated to charity as well. The shirts will
sell for $15 and $5 of every shirt will be donated to charity too.

Put this show on your calendars and spread the word! I hope to see all of
you at Butler County Motorplex this upcoming season!
