FLORIDA DIRT BOWL

As a representative of the Florida Dirt Bowl Board of Directors, I want to thank Raz for all his dedication and hard work for this years Dirt Bowl. We fell short of our goal, but certainly not from his lack of effort. In conversation with him yesterday he assured me, that after a well deserved break, we will get to work on next season. Hopefully we will get to sponsors before they allocate thier $ for the coming year. There were several things we had in mind to include in the Bowl this season we weren't able to do, simply from lack of time. Next year look for great things.
THANKS AGAIN RAZ, YOU DA MAN!!!!!!!!!

What are you talking about?

Thanks Liz..

Great job Raz and Ms Liz. Without you two, Florida racing would be doomed to fail!....We wanted so bad to make it up there, but with lack of communication from the track, we were unable to make it. Luckily the rain didn't hit yall like it did down here!!!
I'm glad to hear things went well, and hope we, as racers and fans, can do more to get involved and help out for the 2009 season!!

raz you have done a great job with everything you for dirt racing. The tech man during the dirt bowl made a bad call about the 17 car. if you wanna discuss it further pm me and i will get ahold of you. as far as bud know the rule book before you run your mouth. motor not set back and roller tip rocker's 100% legal. vsp has been running the 2009 ump rule book for the last three week's of the season. so get a copy and read up

IF THAT WAS THE CASE VSP SHOULD HAVE UPDATED THERE RULES.....SO AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED IT IS STILL O8 BY MY CALENDER.. NOT O9....AND I KNOW UMP RULES, DO YOU??? OH AND ROLLER TIPS WAS IN THE O8 RULES TO, BUT VSP DID NOT USE THEM!!!!! SO YOU READ UP ON YOURS, BECAUSE I ALREADY HAVE!!! REMEMBER I HAD A "TRUE" UMP STREET STOCK......

raz....

No worries. I thought I had done something.........

raz thank you for all you have done for all of us in the dirt racing community........ i came to the dirt bowl to support you and all you have done. i dont run just one track and i have seen you at pcs,vcs, nfs supporting racing. thanks again for all you do for us.

Thanks for the words. I really enjoy doing things for the drivers, fans and crews if I can. It's being a part of it without having to buy a race car....(maybe I ought to be a 50/50 guy......naaaaaaah)

My only disappointment this year was not raising enough to pay a wider field......BUT YOU WATCH US NEXT YEAR!!! We raised $3,217.75 this year and after paying for the t-shirts, were abale to give $2,600 BACK TO THE DRIVERS!

Additionally, we would like to spread the event out to encompass more dirt tracks throughout Florida, with
representatives from each track helping us to manage and organize the Florida Dirt Bowl efforts. Putnam County Speedway, North Florida and Volusia have already committed to assisting with out effort. Hopefully, we can include more Florida facilities as we contact them.
