NEWS IS PLENTIFUL FROM URC FOR 2008
The 61st season of the Rislone URC Sprint Sprint Series is gearing up to be quite a season. Twenty-nine race dates including three "big show" events have the world of 360 sprint car racing buzzing. URC's mission statement, "to take 360 sprint car racing to new heights" , is far more then words and undelivered promises. URC has delivered along the way and 2008 will be no different. To get the season off on the right foot, the Annual URC Competition Meeting is set for Sunday, March 16 at the Quality Inn/Grand Versailles 531 Route 38 West, Maple Shade, NJ . The meeting will start promptly at 1 PM with a variety of topics to be discussed including the New Jersey Safety Regulations, New Contingency Programs, the schedule, review of special events, Insurance, Sponsors, URC Rewards Program and teching procedures. Drivers, Owners, Crew Members and new teams coming to URC are openly invited to attend.
URC is also planning a New Members Orientation Meeting for all rookie drivers, mechanics and new members. The New Members Orientation Meeting will take place from 12 noon to 1 PM, prior to the Annual URC Competition Meeting. Topics to be reviewed include race night procedures, rookie status eligibility and handicapping as well as an open forum discussion. Anyone planning to attend the New Members Orientation Meeting is asked to call URC to register at 302-422-1508.
URC membership licenses will also be available at the meeting. The license fee will be $195 for drivers, $125 for Owners, $210 for a Combo Owner/Driver license and $45 for Mechanics. If licenses are purchased prior to March 1st, URC will offer a discount of $20 per license for Driver, Owner and Combo licenses and a $10 discount for Mechanic licenses.
As a convenience to the Car Owners of URC, a FREE Tech Session will take place on Sunday, March 30th from 10 AM to 2 PM. The Tech Session will take place at Fred's Trailer Parts Center, 450 Creek Road Delanco, NJ. Teams wishing to take part in the Free Tech Session are asked to register by calling URC at 302-422-1508. For teams that are not available on March 30th, you may schedule tech inspection at your convenience and at your home or shop. Contact URC Tech Inspector Midge Miller by calling 609-835-2388 and he will arrange a time for your tech session. There is a fee for this service and you should work out the financial arrangements with Midge in advance of the inspection.
All URC car owners are to be aware that no URC motor will be sealed until the heads have been checked. Any seal installed on a motor that did not have the heads checked, will be null and void. In 2008, URC will again take very seriously, inspection and the enforcement of car specifications. Anyone with questions on car specifications, should contact Midge Miller.
To provide the Track Promoters with the most efficiently run program possible, transponders for scoring and one-way radios for line-ups will be required. Orders for transponders and one-way radios will be taken at the meeting.
The Annual URC Spring Competition Meeting will also offer an opportunity for the membership to meet new members, the URC Managing Members and the cast of URC Officials that will be working in 2008. Midge Miller will return as Tech Inspector, Billy Gallagher Jr will fill the role as Handicapper, Flo Fling is returning as Co-Pit Steward along with Steve Peters.
