Planned racing schedule:
(however this may not be all inclusive;
we may participate in some events not listed and may not be able
to attend some of these events due to unanticipated conflicts.)

UPDATE: Due to a bad crash at Mountain Park Dragway; Clay City, Kentucky July 4, 2009 we will be unable to complete the 2009 season as planned. Once we are able to put together a new body, chassis, and etc we will update our planned schedule for 2010.

Hopefully this will be over soon, "...due to the lawsuit from Rocky Mountain Holdings, LLC for the balance of the Air Amubulance/Helicopter bill that I didn't need (they could have left me in the ground squad/ambulance and transported me that way), didn't ask for, and they said they were doing as a part of their promotion since they were already there. They if told my wife it was just as precautionary and they were flying me since they were there for a Public Relations Event, Promotional Event for their company (to show of their helicopter)."

I believe Rocky Mountain Holdings LLC Air Ambulance company gouges customers, lies to them, and is involved in unethical practices...

Check out this quote from one of their own executives:
"There's no national requirement to track or report fees, but they can range from less than $12,000 to as much as $25,000 per flight, according to Craig M. Yale, vice president of corporate development for Air Methods Corp., the nation... See More’s largest provider of air medical transport systems.... If a given flight costs $7,000, an ambulance operator has to charge $14,000 to make up for people who don’t pay, discounts for Medicare and Medicaid and reluctant insurers, Yale said.
“You’ve got to, in essence, charge twice,” he said."
