7th Annual Hillbilly Hustle news
Dear Karters and Crews,
After many
hours of thought and sleepness nights, it is my disappointment
to announce that the $10,000.00 to win purse will not be paid.
I hope you are not disappointed at me as I have funded out of
pocket expenses of thousands and thousands of dollars to races
that have fell short in the past. It must stop here. I personally
am not bitter at the tons of calls from racers thanking us for
switching it back to Raptor. We only have 42 paid entries. Instead
I firmly feel that George Bush is the worst president in history.
We have been at war for 7 years costing us 14 million dollars
per hour, fuel hit $4.55 per gallon, factory sellouts, layoffs
left and right, home foreclosures, stock market crashes, groceries
at an all time high, no one has much if any left over money to
go racing and if you do your scared to spend it and who would
blame you. Oh yes we have a major issue in the sport of karting
itself, TIRES, and which motor do we run Animal or Raptor? It's
a mess anyway you look at it. Well heres the plan, We are racing
Saturday with 2 divisions, Briggs Heavy (Animal) and Jr. Lite.
Gates open at 10 practice at noon. $1000 to win in Jr. or 100%
payback $60 entry fee. Briggs Heavy is $2500.00 to win or 100%
payback $100 entry fee. Camping overnight is free. As for the
Hustle, we will race! Sunday gates open at 10 practice at noon.
We will draw for qualifying on race day and you can sign up that
day. We will pay back 100% with the winners cut at 50% - 2nd 25%
- 3rd 15% and 4th 10%. If you have already paid and choose not
to race I will refund your check on Monday. Sorry for the inconvience.
This still will be a great event and I hope to see you there!
Thanks, Bill and the
L.V.M.S. crew
