Attention Sprint and Grand National Drivers and Owners:

    PDTR has had a good year and feels that they can pass something on to the Sprint and Grand National divisions. We can not increase the purse at this time, but as we are coming to the end of the season we feel financially we can do something. We will reward those drivers who have been with us on a regular basis.
    We chose to make this payment to the Sprint cars and the Grand Nationals, the two divisions with the largest car count and the divisions we feel are next in line for an increase. This will not be based on points, but rather on participation. Any one who has raced in 50% of our shows will be eligible. The amount, which has not yet been determined, will be awarded for each night you raced. Someone who has raced every night will receive more than the person who missed 2 or 3 nights.
   This bonus will be in addition to the tire fund money which is paid in these two divisions for the drivers who compete in 75% of our shows.
   We also encourage drivers and owners from all divisions to mail or email (mail@shebcofair.com) suggestions to rule or procedural changes for next year to the fair office.

The Bumper to Bumper IRA Outlaw Sprint Series will be competing at one of their favorite venues this Saturday night,as Plymouth's Sheboygan County Fair Park hosts the 900 horsepower thunder of the regional powerhouse 410/winged series. As a added bonus, it's not too often 410 Sprints & Late Models compete together, but this Saturday they do making this a true special event. On top of that the PDTR Grand National division joins the dynamic duo making for an outstanding 3-division event and certainly providing something for every type of fan.
The IRA point chase has heated up dramatically in recent weeks as defending champ Billy Balog leads perennial series contenders Mike Reinke
and Scotty Neitzel who are certainly within reach of that top spot. 2002 IRA King John Haeni is coming off a solid 3rd place run in IRA's most recently completed event (Cedar Lake 6/21) and sits a comfortable fourth. Steve Meyer holds just a marker advantage over third generation racer Scott Biertzer for fifth. Meyer who resides in nearby Sheboygan Falls has had zero luck on his side most of the season and hopes to turn things around competing in front of his local crowd. There is always plenty of action, and usually wheelies galore, every time IRA appears on the tight quarters at Plymouth. A large field is expected to compete in the IRA portion, other expected entries include Cainen Riemann, Todd Hepfner, Phillip Mock, Billy Hafemann, Scott Uttech, Kris Spitz, Brian Kristan, Nick Alden, Andy Hunt, Matt Vandervere Donny Goeden, Wayne Modjeski, Robbie Pribnow, TJ Luetke, Russel Borland, Adam Miller, Kirk Fehrman, Todd Daun, Jereme Schroeder, Ty Bartz, Bill Wirth, Dave Uttech, Mike Kertscher, Tommy Sexton, Mike Emme, Brandon Thome, Bill Warren, Joe Symoens, Todd King, Scott Lenz, and many more.
IRA is a ASA affiliated series with support from United Trailers, Hoosier Tire, Osborn & Son Trucking, Bar's Leaks, Rislone, TW Metals, Mechanix Wear, Can-Am/BRP, and the U.S. Army.

Pit gates open at 3, Grandstand 4:30, with IRA qualifying scheduled for 6:00.

to make last weeks show a success after the afternoon rains.
A reimbursement will be made to the Sprint Cars to help cover the cost of the extra fuel needed to pack the track.
Thank You!

There has been some concern recently about the roll cage in the Grand National car.
Pertaining to the cage height; if you raced at PDTR in 2008 your car will be legal in 2009.

Nov. 13, 2008

PDTR has received the $4.00 per tire rebate from Hoosier Tire. This will be divided between the 22 cars that raced
75 percent of the 2008 season.

Nov. 3 2008

American Racer Tire Payout

PDTR's percentage of the tire sales from American Racer amounted to $2,839.15. This will be divided between the 31 Sprint cars that raced
75 percent of of the races beginning July 1, 2008. Each driver/owner will be receiving a check for $92.00.

When the switch in tires was made in July, American Racer agreed to give eighteen free tires, two new racing wheels,
and $10 for every rear tire sold.

The switch to the American Racer tire was a joint venture between PDTR and EWSC . Nine free tires and one racing wheel went to each.
PDTR and EWSC have worked out a formula to divide the money from each tire sold. The money will be divided based on the number of cars raced
at each track regardless of where the tire was purchased.

The names of those who competed in at least 75% of PDTR shows since July 1st were put in a hat and a drawing was held,
the night of PDTR’s awards presentation, for the racing wheel. The 51M car was the lucky winner.

The nine free tires were sold during the 2008 race season and that money went into the tire payout fund along with PDTR’s
portion of the proceeds from tire sales.

When the money is received from American Racer for the rear tires sold, it will be distributed to those who competed in at least 75%
of PDTR shows since July 1st.

GOOD NEWS FOR SPRINT CARS

TIRE DEAL

    PDTR and EWSC contacted Hoosier and American Racer Tire Companies asking for a tire proposal for their respective tracks. It was
explained to the tire companies that any offers made would be good at both EWSC and PDTR. This is important because many drivers
would be racing at both tracks and having the same tire requirement would save the drivers money. After many lengthy phone calls
both companies sent proposals.
    After reviewing the options the PDTR and EWSC boards were aware of the importance in choosing a tire that would not burden the racer
witha huge increase in cost.   After lengthy deliberations and contacting several drivers for there input the two boards came to the same
tire conclusion;the tire of choice would be the American Racer.Effective July 1, 2008, a new American Racer Right Rear tire and a Left Rear tire
will be allowed at PDTR and EWSC.
   The cost of the new right is $175 and the left is $160. Ten dollars per rear tire will be paid back to the tracks. There is also an option on
a front tire at $129. Sippel Racing will be selling the American Racer tires. The current Goodyear tires will be allowed for the entire
2008 season or as long as the supply lasts.
PDTR will put the money into the end of the year payout for the Sprint car division. Anyone racing 75% of the season
will be eligible for this payout. Free tires are also part of the new deal, however PDTR does not know what will be
done with them at this time. We want you to know that anything done with these free tires will benefit the drivers not the track.

                 I hope you are all as tired of winter as we are here at the racetrack. Every day we check on the amount of snow still in the infield. We have begun
                 to service our grader and tractor so they will be ready to go to work soon. The reason for this note is to give you some good news.
                       There is money available from a tire deal that was secured many years ago with the Hoosier Company.   We just recently found out about the
                deal and have been aggressively pursuing Mr. Genal for compensation. We were told by his superiors that there was money paid out for the tire
                sales and that we needed to contact him for payment.
                      We were only allowed to go back one year. We realize it is not a large amount but we hope to build on that. As we stated when we went into
                racing any monies secured from tire deals would go entirely to the drivers. We received a check in the amount of $320. We have paid the ten
                top finishers of the 2007 season each $32. Mr. Genal representing the Hoosier Company indicated he had a difficult time determining how many
                tires were purchased from racers at the Plymouth track as he has several tracks on this same tire promotion.
                      In the upcoming year we hope you will help us get the entire tire money the Grand National division has coming. It would help if when you
                purchase tires you could let us know from whom and when you made your purchase. We will then be able to have an accurate number of total
                tires purchased. Hopefully this will increase the amount of money we receive. Good Luck in the 2008-racing season.

A STATEMENT FROM THE SHEBOYGAN COUNTY FAIR BOARD REGARDING THE OPERATION OF THE 2005 RACING PROGRAM ON SATURDAY NIGHTS AT THE FAIR PARK

For several years the Fair Board has been the sounding board for fans and racers. Some of those racers have left because the rules at Plymouth were not compatible with similar divisions that run in the area. These racers noted that with the ever increasing cost of maintaining and operating a race car, one night a week racing is almost unaffordable. After much consideration and several fact finding missions the Fair Board made a decision to promote the racing at the Fair Park and allow all the current participants to continue to race. The Fair Board has hired a Race Director, George Baumann, to oversee the entire racing operation. Mr Baumann contacted several surrounding area tracks and discussed their track rules and under his direction rules for each division were made. These rules will allow racers from the Plymouth Dirt Track to race on other nights at other tracks when they are not racing at Plymouth. NO ONE has been "ousted " from the racing program, all divisions can race at the Plymouth track just as they have for many years. YES, there is a big change in the payout structuring ; YES there will be a Sprint Car Division added to the program; YES there are some minor changes for the Late Models and Grand Nationals, BUT NO ONE IS EXCLUDED FROM THE NEW PROGRAM

The Fair Board believes the changes which are incorporated into the 2005 racing season will be a huge benefit to all racers who chose to participate and to all the fans who have been asking for changes. "We expect to see many racers who have left Plymouth return and bring their fans with them to enjoy a great racing program."
