This Saturday will be the first race of Sequoia Speedway's summer season. It'll also be the last race where I supply most of the cars to the drivers. The following Saturday is the kid's race, and 10 of the cars have already been assigned to kids interested in racing. Another 6 will be assigned to last minute sign-ups. Here's the starting line-up:

#00 Burger King M/C Bill Elliott

* Denotes the 16 cars slated to be given away. These are the factory painted cars and a few of the Patto's decorated cars, plus the Dodges which will be replaced by the newer Chargers starting at the conclusion of this series. The other factory painted cars are easier to replace and will be slowly as money allows.

Now before anyone chimes in and says so-and-so don't drive that car, remember these are the older NASCAR stockers. The Taurus' have the oval shaped back windows and half of the M/C's are the 1999 body style. The drivers listed drove the car sometime between 1999 and 2004, that's why they're listed.

This will leave 12 cars in my control to complete the series. The race schedule is posted on the track's myspace site at www.myspace.com/sequoiaspeedway.
