From Ben Shelton on Midsouth:

"Klint Byars and Ross Camponovo are making their first trips to Ark-La-Tex for the Pelican. A full host of other MSR Mafia members are already planning on being there including Leon Henderson, Scott Creel, Billy Moyer Jr., Jack Sullivan, Bub McCool, Morgan Bagley, Timothy Culp, Ray Moore, Ronny Lee Hollingsworth, Clay Fisher, and more.

Canadian driver, Mike Balcaen, told me in Arizona that he would be making the trip down again.

Can't wait to get back down there for what was possibly the best race I saw last year.

- Ben"

Visit www.MidsouthRacing.com and it's corresponding forum. One of the best racing websites in America. And racers, if you want your own professionally done website, you can see all Ben's clients by visiting www.MSRmafia.com He does great work!

Like last year, support classes at this year's Pelican 100 will again be restricted to two:

Factory Stocks & Limited Modifieds

We think 3 classes is enough for a Late Model show like the Pelican 100 as opposed to running 4 or more.

Agree?

CHILDRESS RENTALS SECOND CHANCE race!

Adding one more qualifying race/non-qualifier deal this year.

On Friday the Late Models will time in and run heat races. That will lock some cars into Saturday's Pelican 100 and the rest into Saturday's B-mains.

Like last year, after the B-mains there will be a break. The first 10 rows of the Pelican 100 will be set by then. The 21st 'Lucky Dog' starting spot (worth at least $800) will be drawn from the non-qualifiers. Then the 22nd starting spot will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. So far, this is just like last year's format....

***NEW -- Then... 14 more names will be drawn from the non-qualifiers and lined up, 'heads-up' off of their Friday times for the 14-lap, $200 to start, Childress Rentals Second Chance! The top 2 cars will earn the 23rd and 24th starting spots in the $10,000 to win, $800 to start Pelican 100 -- $38,200 total A-main purse! The rest will be getting at least $200 just for having had their name drawn and having tried to race their way into the Pelican 100! Total payout this year is well over $40,000.

That means 15 cars in all that missed the top 20 in qualifying will get at least $200 back and it could be anybody. 3 of them will start the Pelican 100 -- one by draw and two by finishing first or second in the Childress Rentals Second Chance.

The rest of the non-qualifiers will get at least $75 of their $100 entry fee back. There will be another prize (prizes?) drawn by a non-qualifier too. They will draw another non-qualifier's name for a drum of VP-Plus Late Model fuel (a $500 value) thanks to Fast Fuel. More prizes could be added by then. So far at least 37 cars will go home with more than the $75 minimum but only ONE gets $10,000 and 'The Bird' of course!

Also new this year...

The NASCAR-style 'Lucky Dog Rule' will be used during the 100-lap race. When a caution comes out, the first car one or more laps down gets a lap back!

Thanks once again to Childress Rentals for kicking in even more at this year's Pelican 100 event!

Practice is one week from Thursday on March 8th and we race one week from Friday! March 9th & 10th! See you all soon!!!

Late Model A-main payout:

1. $10,000
2. 5000
3. 2500
4. 2000
5. 1500
6. 1400
7. 1300
8. 1200
9. 1100
10. 1000
11-24. 800 to start

Entry fee $100. Non-qualifiers $75. Pit pass is $30 Friday & $35 Saturday. Thursday's practice pit pass is $20.

Due to the high cost of fuel, we don't want folks to travel for nothing. If you had plans of traveling today, stand-by. A decision will be made around 6PM tonight. We really want to get this in this week, but...well, we'll see later.

THIS WEEKEND, about 30 minutes north of Shreveport, LA on the Texas-Arkansas-Louisiana border!

Since the reschedule caused some conflicts, our car count's not going to be as big now. Got a new car? We have 3 days that you can put laps on it counting Thursday night's practice. Warm days with little chance for any precipitation too. A wide racy, smooth 1/4 mile. Got run-off space around 3/4's of the track before you hit a wall. Practice, Time Trials, Heat Races, B-Main, Last Chance race for up to 14 cars, and 24 cars start an $800-to-start 100-lap feature! $40,000 Late Model purse! Ask anyone who raced with us or watched it last year....THIS PLACE IS FUN!!!

But a whole bunch of folks can get one of these:

Here's how we roll at Ark-La-Tex Speedway too:
