We will have three categories racing this year: The Stock division, the Super Stock Division,
and our new division– “Super Kids” (for special needs children). In the Stock category,
car and driver can total up to 200 pounds. In the Super Stock category, car and driver
can total up to 230 pounds.
Contact your sponsor, and call the
Derby Hotline to indicate which division you are
interested in entering and a race information package including the application form,
will be sent to you! The Newport Daily News will print an insert in the paper, which
will be our program book. There will be 18,000 copies distributed with The Newport Daily
News all over Aquidneck Island and another 1,000 copies sent out to other parts of the state.
Your latest picture will be in this insert. Please remember to provide a good, clear
close-up picture, the names of your sponsors, your age and your school, so that we can
get all this good stuff about you and your sponsors in the paper. The insert will be
printed the week before the race. You should tell your sponsor, that we will have their
name, etc. in this edition of 18,000 copies of the insert in The Newport Daily News.
There are some significant changes to the rules this year pertaining to construction,
safety and markings. Come to one of the clinics and download the latest rules from
www.aasbd.com to get the latest info and be sure your car is legal to race.
Our application deadline this year is April 10, 2008. Call the Derby Hotline or attend a
clinic to get an application. A clinic will be held in April 2009 at the Johnny Gomes’
home, with a Hands-On and Masters Clinic to be announced.
Trophies will be presented to the top three finishers in each division. All drivers will
receive a medal and a racing t-shirt. And the winner of each division will go to Akron,
Ohio - at the Newport Lions expense - to race in the national race in July 2008.
So start working your car, contact your sponsor, and get set for another great day.
Please read the attached sheets to assure that you and your car are ready to race.
