Thanks Guys!!

  Talking on the Mic after the race is TOUGH!!! I forgot to mention a whole bunch of people. First and Foremost my Wife and Kids (yeah that was brilliant). I was looking at them for support while Thanking everyone and forgot to thank them!! Thanks Guys, I Love You!!

  As for Winning, It's not real tough to lose when you start from the front row. I kept waiting for Chris "Ted Nugent" Tooley to come up and take it from me, But seen on the Video he was held up in traffic. He has his car dialed in this year and It's going to be Tough to beat him on a Good Night. Good Luck Chris.

  Mr. Prishman. Thanks for racing me clean!! I saw your Nose and said "Uh-Oh" (censored BTW)Looking forward to Next Time.

  69,66,84 You Guys have Stepped it Up this Season. I should be proof that you need to Hang In There!!! It CAN Happen.

   JACKSON. Thanks for the Knowledge you've given me over the last couple years. I couldn't have gotten the car set-up with out it.

  Jim "J.J." Burnett mini #95...w/o You and your Crew, I wouldn't have made it to the first race. Anyone who'll will be up til 1 am working on someone else's car is Awesome in my Book. Thanks!!

  There are too many to list here....Otts Potts Crew, The Elderbaum Squad, Thomas Fabrication Crew, Queener Racing......

 Last but not Least, I'd like to Thank some people that I really Felt were with me, Protecting Me.

  My Lil' Grandma, Dale Smith Sr., and Danny Hamel, I thought of each one during the Last Caution, and truly believe they were there watching out for me.     Thanks Everyone!!!!    Respectfully Kevin Andrews #33A

Hey mike, why do you dog the fig eight guys. We want to race to . Now we are down to five nights. Don’t want to hear about car count. You know how to fix it. Pay the fig eight guys what you pay the sprints and you will have your show. We don’t even need that much.  And you wont have some bonehead doing three sixties on the front straight right in front of you. At least we give you the respect you deserve. I have been in the stands every night, and no they do not pull a bigger crowd. First two races maybe, but after that, I really don’t think so. Thanks,  was looking forward to racing.        Danny Queener        03/28/08

Just a quick note the photos from tha banquet have now been posted.

Any questions please call me at 909-904-3881.Thanks Jon

You know it is amazing, no matter what you do, how you do it or your reasons for doing it someone always complains. What is wrong with just excepting the change or changes. Changes occurr every day in life this is what life is about. If people are that unhappy about little things in life Why dont you just move on. It is this type of behavior that brings happy people down. Here is another thought, Trying putting a smile on your face and just accept things the way they are. Remember is it worth fighting for, is it the hill you want to die on fighting.

Unless you tried to post something that was inappropriate or uncalled for, the "webmaster" won't mess with your post (in my experience).

  The board's been dead for awhile, Racing ended last November, Most are rebuilding cars for upcoming season, and some have moved on to other things.

  Relax, season's getting close....I am sure someone is already ready to complain about something.

What is it you'd like to communicate?

Kevin Andrews #17 Street Stock    03/11/08

So am I to believe that no one has actually placed a post on this board since the middle of Feb or is it that the posts are being censored to the point that if the "webmaster" doesn't like them, they just omit them never to be seen.  It was my impression that this message board was for the drivers & fans to communicate back and forth........guess I was wrong.

Hey sc46 I dont know the situtation with the rules. You are a little off on your post. A CRX is one of the best cars to be built IF you can build it properly. Perris had CRX's and they dominated most of the time. Bigger track more power more speed going into the turns etc. I remember a few times the Perris guys came down in CRX's and laid a beating. If you were to put a CRX together to make weight legally and set the car up correct you should be able to give the competition something to chase if you know how to drive the car.
Racer        01/18/08

Topgun, Instead of trying to find ways "around" the rules , shouldnt we just go by the rules that are given to us and make sure we meet the legality of them? CRX's are too light, and Civics are too light. There was only two of those cars out there last year and one of them built a new car, A prelude if I remember correctly, which has no prob making the weight. They kicked out Camaro's out of the all americans for having a distinct  advantage over the bigger cars so maybe this is their way of doing the same for us. The CRX's  have a wheelbase of 91in and the next shortest would be the 49 car, a corolla,  at 95in. Almost the same as the Camaro's at 108 and the new rule at 112. Just compliment mike on doing what he had to for better racing. Lets just concentrate on keeping our cars straight and out of the wall and all will be good.

                         SC46       01/18/08


for those guy and ladies that have car's that may not make weight find out how much it the weight is with you in it then just add more to your roll cage

Thanks Kevin.  Looking forward to racing with you guys
again.  Time has always been my most valuable
commodity, and that hasn't changed.  I'm still trying
to find the time to do all the things I want to do.
But I still keep track of what's happening at
Victorville Auto Raceway.  It's really impressive how
the track keep changing for the better every year.
Credit is due to the track management, as well as each
and everyone that goes to the track to race, help pit
a car, or watch the terrific show that the drivers put
on.
We need to hook up Kevin.  You can get me at the
office, 7:00am-5:00pm.  951-677-2626.  Check out my
videos on www.powertvonline.com to see what I am doing
now.  I am really stoked about the "Installing a
torque arm on an F body Camaro" video.  Also, check
out my Project New Take Off videos.  I am proud of
that project car and the upgrades that went into it.

How can the Sport Compacts make the minimum weight if we cannot add weight?
JACOB FINCHER  sc#39   01/08/08

Hey Kevin, only changes I see for us are flat sided bodies, and aftermarket torque converters.

 

Justin Brown #36 Street Stock   01/08/08

SORRY TO READ THE SCHEDULE AND SEE THAT THEY HAVE DID AWAY WITH THE SUPERSTREET CLASS. THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE ALL AMERICAN CLASS, I KNOW THAT THEY ARE BEGINERS BUT I MUCH RATHER LIKE WATCHING SUPERSTREET THAN ALL AMERICAN  (BORING).  ALSO WHILE THEY ARE DOING AWAY WITH THINGS IN THE 2008 SEASON I PROPOSE THEY DO AWAY WITH MR. BIG MOUTH ANNOUNCER AND TRY SOMEONE ELSE OUT.  WE GET TIRED OF HIS STUPID HUMOR THAT ONLY HE FINDS FUNNY, AND HINTING FOR SOMEONE TO BUY HIM FOOD, BUY YOUR OWN MR. TIGHT WAD I'M SURE YOU CAN  AFFORD IT.

Thanks, for the update on Tim, glad to hear he is making progress. Slow progress may be better letting his body heal from his accident. We continue to keep him in our prayers.

 Please say Hello to Tim from the CDCRA dwarf car club members.

Updated figure 8 and sport compact rules as of 1/3/08 7:16pm please re-check and print  new ones

Update on Tim Walker!
Just wanted to give a quick update on Tim Walker. He is in a nursing home, still in and out of a coma. He is waking up to his sister and moms voices. He started lifting his legs last week (which shows his back is healing very well) and believe it or not he has a crush on a cute blond nurse at the nursing home. He wakes up and waves at her =)  This is such great news. He does not like the tube in his throat. He continues to pull it out, so they are talking to a doctor about taking it out completely. He may never be the same, but he is definitely showing a little improvement since he has been in this home. Keep him in your prayers. Love, Tom and Amanda Smith    01/03/08

SC46, Good Luck to you this season also. I have a question though, What changed in your rules this year? I read everything as "Stock".
  As for racing for "fun", I agree, what we do is All in FUN, but if I was to race for no money, I would expect not to Pay Money (entry fee) to race. Just My Opinion (and I would race anyway).
LITTLE MARK, 3d driver is Chris Smith, car owner is DT-"Brane Sturgeon"
  I may be mistaken but Chris was Street and Super Street VV Track Champion in 2005 (I know Super for sure)(year may be off)
  Hope Everyone is Well in this New Year. May peace be with those in need.

Good thing I had not mailed in a new membership.
After 2 years of building a new SuperStock it looks like the I am heading to Perris
Good luck to the Queeners in 2008
Signed: Patrick Tone    01/03/08

hey i used to race at Perris Auto Speedway, but I think that after the classic, I will be back at VV exclusively.  You guys have done wonders with the track. I think a lot of PAS cars will be in VV this year
