The Speed zone's first practice turned out to be a practice for everyone!  Including the new company that will be doing track prep. this year for the Speedzone.  They had a big job in front of them... Their task was to bring the track back to the original configurations.  They made good progress on doing this, and will continue to do so.  When the practice started it looked like it was going to be a dust out disaster.  Some drivers were quick to jump to madness and some even left.  However, the new track Prep. company seen & learned from his mistake in lack of water.  He quickly jumped into action and after a short delay, he got the dust problem under control.  The racers who stayed had one of the nicest tracks ever at the Speedzone to shake down their cars.  I believe it is a sign of what is to come... The promoters at the Speedzone are committed to being the best track in the state.  Many others promoters would not have went the extra mile to fix a problem!  The ran the practice longer than scheduled to insure everyone got the track time they wanted.    

The Speedzone inspection crew was busy all day with their inspections. They report that the drivers are doing a great job in the safety dept. They are seeing many drivers making advancements in safety of their cars.  The new Speedzone track photographer, Denny from Twist Photography was on hand.  He is looking forward to bringing the drivers a little extra creativity this season at reasonable prices.  He would like all you drivers to help him out by stopping in at the pit pole shed for a head shot.  This will help him in creating cool photos with graphics for you all.  He will be shooting headshots at the next practice before and after the hot laps.  

Don't forget the Drivers Welcome Back Party, right after the practice this coming Saturday.  This is for you!  It will be a good time and a chance for some of the new drivers & the new Speedzone workers to get acquainted with everyone.  So as you can see the 2006 season at the Speedzone is off to a great start and will only get better as time goes on.
