Fastest time trialer will have the pole in heat one, second fastest will earn the pole in heat two, etc. A random inversion of Pro Stock heat finishes will set the feature lineup (e. g. likely to be the top 6, 8, or 10 cars). Winner of heat 1 will draw the inversion number at the handicapper’s booth.
LATE MODELS, TRUCKS, STREET STOCKS will draw for starting position in heat races. Top 6 finishers in three Street Stock heats and top 8 finishers in consi will make up the Street feature- car count permitting. A random inversion of the total top 4 or 6 finishers in heat races will likely be used to set the feature race lineup.
A REMINDER that two-way radio communication is now permissible in both the Pro Stock and Late Model classes. All teams must submit their car #, driver and spotter names and the radio frequency being used to speedway officials by Sunday at 12 Noon.

ROOKIES: Please be aware that MINIMUM SPEEDS will be set for all divisions. A rookie competitor who does not meet the minimum lap time in practice but draws a starting position inside the top two rows will be asked by the race director to start from the tail end of the field. This procedure, which has been in use for several seasons, was implemented to protect all of our competitors and their equipment. If you feel as though your vehicle is not up to par, please inform the handicapper and you will be assigned to the tail end of the field. Thank you for your sportsmanship.

Saturday night racing will begin on May 10 at 6 PM. Grandstand gates will open at 3 PM.
THANK YOU! During this difficult economic time, we are well aware of the sacrifices our teams, officials, and fans make to come to Seekonk Speedway. The price of fuel alone has been a significant factor for all of us. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all those who work hard in support of our sport, our race track, and our race teams and extend our best wishes for a healthy, happy and safe 2008 racing season. Good luck to all!!!!

Attention: Seekonk Sport Truck Owners 4/22/08
NEWS BULLETIN
Attention: Seekonk Sport Truck Owners 4/22/08
With the change to Hoosier racing tires this spring, we have identified a problem that we would like to bring to the attention of our Sport Truck teams immediately. During practice, it was determined that GM chassis trucks are prone to have an issue with the right front tire rubbing the outer tie rod. At this time, it seems to have only affected the GM trucks. We have developed the following options to combat this issue. Unless other chassis are found to have a problem these options will be given to GM owners only.
1) Spindles: Some trucks have moved the steering arm on the spindle to give a clearance of no less than one-half (1/2”) an inch between the tie rod and tire. Please note that this modification should only be done by someone who specializes in this type of work.
2) Spacer plates: These may be used, with a maximum width not to exceed 3/8” (three-eighths of an inch). The plates may be aluminum or steel and must be used on both front wheels. Rear wheels may have spacers if desired and must be the same size on both wheels. Five-eighth (5/8) studs are mandatory if spacers are used, and must be long enough to accept the spacers.
Sport Truck teams with additional questions or requiring clarification of this rule may contact Race Director David Alburn at the speedway or via e-mail at ssruleman@aol.com.

LATE MODEL AND PRO STOCK TEAMS: TIRES
LATE MODEL AND PRO STOCK TEAMS:
"We are still going to review which tire rule will be used in 2008 but want our teams to see what this new option is. In short, it would still use the same amount of tires used during the season as the old tire rule would, it just gives the team more options in how they use them. We will still talk about this during the next two test and tune dates. I would like to have the official tire rule out during the April 19th test date". -David Alburn
SEEKONK SPEEDWAY NEW TIRE RULE 2008
Pro Stock & Late Model Divisions
American Racer EC83 & EC84 and Goodyear D2472 & D2682 are the official tires for the Pro Stocks & Late Model divisions; these tires must be purchased from Seekonk Speedway to be eligible for use. All tires are marked with a numbers system from the manufacture that the teams will use to record tire usage at the track. Any team found to deceive this system as outlined in general rules 11.7 & 11.8 will be penalized by the Race Director.
1. Each team must register their tires by the number system located on their tires. Each team can only register the maximum number of tires allowed in their division each week.
Maximum Inventory Pro Stock – 10 Tires / Late Model – 8 Tires
2. Each division will have a season maximum allowance, referred to as (SMA). This number will be the maximum amount of tires each team can register during the season. Teams will use the SMA number to decide how they want to manage their tire usage during the season. The SMA number is based off a two tire a night rule with added tires for extra distance races (if needed) and an allotment of tires for unseen circumstances. The SMA number is reduced each week starting with the first race event when new tires are brought into each teams inventory and if a race event is cancelled. Teams must remove old tires when they bring in new tires and not exceed their maximum inventory listed above. The SMA number will be adjusted accordingly for teams starting late in the season.
Pro Stock – 54 Tires / Late Models – 50 Tires
3. Register procedures are as follows: When teams arrive at the track the driver or crew chief must record the tires going into their inventory and submit their tire card to the track tire manager. Each week when a new register card is given any new numbers on the card from the pervious week would be considered new tires and deducted from the teams SMA number. Teams must record and file their register card BEFORE the first Qualifying race of their division. If a team does not submit their register card in time they may loose the right for any tire changes that night, this would revert back to the teams last submitted card from the pervious week attend.
4. Each team can ONLY bring the maximum inventory allowed to the track each week, including the tires on the car. All tires MUST be listed on the tire inventory card for that night. Teams can not practice, run a heat, consi or feature with any other tires then what has been registered for that night. Teams found with more then the allowed tires may be penalized the use of any tire changes the next week attended.
5. Teams may change their inventory and bring in tires rotated out of their OWN previously used inventory. These tires must be noted on their register card and reported to the tire manager. When a previously registered tire is brought back into inventory the tire manager must visually inspect them to verify their usage. Only 1 used tire at a time may be brought back into inventory any night. Tire manager may choose to allow more if warrants.
6. Tires will be monitored with depth gauges and durometer readings and recorded for back up each week. These readings will be used by the Tech officials to monitor tires that are inconsistent with normal readings as outlined in the general rules 11.7 & 11.8
7. If a race is canceled for any reason and no laps were run. No register cards will be accepted till the next week and the maximum allowance number will be reduced either by two or four depending on race event canceled.
8. If a race is canceled before the start of the Pro Stock or Late Model feature and these races are made up the next week you must use the SAME register card from the original feature and then tire replacements can be made for the next events. Races made up in later weeks may have different restrictions.
9. Tire purchases are only allowed at the Speedway either on Saturday nights at the pit ticket window or at the track office during the week between 9AM to 5PM track # 508-336-9959. Please call before arrival.
10. Tires can ONLY be left at the Speedway if they have been dismounted by the track tire changers, tires MAY NOT be brought to the track to be left on the grounds. No tires can be left at any competitors pit, they may be penalized.
