Maury Nelsen- Sprint 3L I have spoken with Winnemucca's President Mike Scott and they are EXCITED with the prospect that the Sprints want to race at their track. I would like to be able to give him a committed number that we will be bringing. May 21st. Sat. nite. races @ 7:oo Pit meeting at 6:30 pit open at anytime but advertised at 5:oopm. They are talking some money and going to town to get sponsors to help raise the payouts. I WILL DISCUSS the $$$$ with you all Sat. Nite at Fallon Series Race. Please, please, work on your schedules to make this race 5/21 in Winnemucca. They would like to make a good showing so they could be ELIGIBLE for a Series Point race next year!!!!!!!!$$$

I think we should concentrate on getting a decent car count at our local tracks first, 3-4 cars wouldn't be much of a show for the Winnemucca fans, in fact it would be kind of embarrasing to even call it a "series" race. You have to crawl before you can walk..................

It's not a series race. The people in Winnemucca have been asking the sprints to come up there and run for 2years. But couldn't make it work. We are going to try and make it work this time, I hope. If it doesn't go then it doesn't go. Please don't decide against going without finding out what they are willing to do for us!! This doesn't mean crap but when I was a kid and Winn. was running their track at the fair Grounds (I think) they had one of if not the biggest Modified fields going. I think that is what they call the old time hot rods that were the predecessor to the Sprints that developed and are running today. Of course I was only in grammar school but it seemed like every business was sponsoring one. Going to those races marked me for life and now that I have everything paid for this old country boy is trying to keep up. I would love it if by the class going up there 2,3 maybe 4 more old farts could talk some young hot shoes into driving for them also. Perhaps showing up at a few of these tracks would develop enough winged AND OR wingless cars to keep both alive! If we show people we can do it maybe they will try it also. Bread won't spread butter on itself. Only we can make this happen!! Hope to see everybody Sat. at Fallon.
