Headed to Florida - Please Read -
One of the racers headed to the Mini Sprint races in Florida in
February informed us that if your truck and hauler(trailer) exceed
65 feet in length that a permit is required in the State of
Florida. It apparently takes a little while to get this because it
needs to be mailed to you. There is a website to check for an
application www.fdotmaint.com
. He said be sure to get a Blanket Application and
indicate "hauling race cars" not just hauling cars.

King of the Bullring series promoter, Tom
Wieck recently announced that a drawing for a new FOZ Race Cars
chassis will be held at 12:00 on Saturday, December 15th at
Speed Partz in Cincinnati, Ohio. As advertised at the beginning of
the season, a drawing will be held including the names of the top ten
drivers in the 2007 season points. The selected name will be the
winner of the new chassis.
“I would like to thank all of the competitors that ran with us this season. We saw several different competitors in victory lane and put on a good show for the fans. While I apologize that we were not able to have a formal banquet, I would like to invite all competitors out to Speed Partz on the 15th to enjoy Pizza and some bench racing”, commented Wieck. In its first season the King of the
Bullring Series was a great success. 43 different competitors
registered points during the 2007 season with Waverly’s Jim Lewis
taking top honors. Plans for 2008 are currently under discussion.

Looking for an interesting read during the winter months. Track the progress of the FOZ mini sprint we are putting together in our race shop. The series of articles begins now.
One of the neatest things about mini-sprints, is that you never know who you are going to find in the driver's seat. It could be the next up and coming star, a star from open wheel's past or even a weekend warrior. The purpose of this portion of the page is to tell a little bit about some of the guys and gals that race mini sprints. Stay tuned we hope to begin posting driver stories in the next few weeks. If you're an upright mini sprint driver that would like to be featured in the HOT SEAT, e-mail us at sfasse-at-fozmarketing.com.
