Please remember to go to the pit steward and talk to him if you have a racing problem such as the finish that is posted. As mentioned before the RMLRA does not make track decisions on what happens on the track. The rule book states that the track handles all calls. Please remember this as good sportsmanship is needed to handle difficult decisions in the pits. We have had Raceceiver problems this season and the RMLRA Board may meet Thursday evening to discuss several items of interest. If you have a decent two way radio headset that you would like to sell, please contact me and I will relay the information to the Board.

Saturday was a cool and rainy day along the Rockies in Colorado, but the rain stopped just after 6PM and the track decided to run their racing program. Several cars left the pits thinking the rain would be the dominant factor controlling the days activities at I-25 Speedway. Racing got underway a little bit after eight o’clock and when the last Legend feature was completed it was after midnight. A very small crowd on hand possibly due to the weather. But those that were there saw some good races.

Eighteen RMLRA Legends and twelve Bandolero race cars were on hand for practice and with the rain falling late in the afternoon, time trials were not held. Legend races were very competitive and fast throughout the night. Wayne Barlock Jr had the fast time posted in practice. In the first feature Danny Medina crossed the finish line just ahead of Nick Cooper, Wayne Barlock, Cody Dempster and Scotty Scott. Good tough racing by all with your usual contact with bent bumpers through the race but all cars finished the race. #97 Ashlyn Himler made her rookie debut Saturday evening finishing both feature races. Give her some time to get used to the race car and she will be a competitor just like her dad Paul who drives the number eighty-eight Legend. This was the first win of the 2018 season for Danny.

In the second Legend feature Wayne Barlock won his first feature of the season with a real close race towards the end of the twenty-five lap race to the checkered flag. Barlock, Medina and Cooper all running very close had some contact in the turn one and Medina spun out but kept his car moving and no caution flag was thrown. I-25 is known to be a track that bends bumpers during the races. The number forty-eight had to be removed by the hook after contact among a couple of cars in turns three and four. It was reported in the tower that Cody Dempster had injured his shoulder. I did not hear anything later.

Nick Cooper finished second with Scotty Scott, Ryan Rudolph and Travis Roe as your top five finishers. Heat races were won by Dean Kallas and Wayne Barlock With a field of twelve Bandolero race cars in the pits before the rains came, ten cars started the feature race. Greg Rayl won the fifteen lap race with a few caution flags during the race. This was the second feature for the Bandolero class as it continues to build. Congratulations to those of you able to make the race with all the bad weather in Colorado. Corey Sefcovic finished second and Brody Moore was third. Andy Jones and Issac Almaswari were the fourth and fifth place finishers.

The number sixty-three of James Starcher made the long trip from Nebraska to race last night. His sixth place finish in the feature should have made him and his parents very happy. As we continue to build this class the main problem may have been mine with the Raceceiver, as I had trouble communicating with the drivers. Hey drivers and parents we will work it out and we will be running smoothly soon. Thanks for your help in starting the Bandolero’s of the RMLRA. Do talk with the drivers and see if they can tell whether or not they could hear me but did not know what to do, when trying to line them up for the restarts. Also make sure your car has a transponder in the car when racing at Big Country and I-25 Speedway.

Lilian McAfee and Greg Rayl won the heat races earlier in the evening.

For those of you who will be racing next weekend in Rumble in the Rockies do enjoy this three day weekend of racing. It is a lot of fun but also a lot of work to stay out of trouble on the track while racing. I am sorry to say that I will not be able to attend as my granddaughter graduates out of state. Someone will fill in for me on the Raceceiver.

Just a reminder to check on you INEX membership if you have sent it in over two weeks ago and have not heard from them.

Thanks to all of you who came out Saturday to race but was denied the chance when the rains came after qualifying began and almost completed, when the rain began to fall.

Bandolero drivers and parents a very impressive turnout with approximately twenty cars showing up to race. I know a lot of time in preparing the cars to race only to be rained out. The next scheduled race will be Saturday May 19, 2018 at I-25 Speedway just north of Pueblo. Looking for some good weather to go racing. I hope to see you there. Thank for turning in your INEX membership applications at the track. They will be in the mail tomorrow to INEX.

Legend cars with a turnout of thirty-three cars qualified to race until the rains came and washed out the program. Legend cars will join the Bandolero cars at I-25 Speedway next weekend. This will be a double main event for Legends. Points will be awarded for both features.

Chris Eggleston was the top qualifier Saturday evening with a time of 18.779 I heard a few comments in the pits that the new fuel that we are using this season is allowing the engines to run a little cooler. Let us see how they are when it really warms up in another month. With the new fuel rule in place it should keep rebuilds down this season.

All race cars in the pits last night when the program was rained out will receive show up points (40) toward the RMLRA championship. Remember for Bandolero drivers it is your best fifteen races and for Legends it is the best twenty-two. You can miss a few races and still win the championship. Drivers are also reminded to make sure the RMLRA sponsors decals are on your car.

Race cars that are planning to race the three day Rumble in The Rockies remember to plan ahead for motel rooms.

Scotty Scott won the first leg of the 2018 Short Track Challenge Saturday evening. Scott trying to defend his championship during the 2017 season started from the inside front row pole and led from the start of the race to the checkered flag. Fifteen Legend cars on hand to qualify for the race but did loose two cars during the Trophy Dash. Darrell J. Stewart driving the #17 Landon Birney Legend took the car to a second place finish. Third place was Wayne Barlock who also was the top qualifier with a 14.203 All results are unofficial at this time. The RMLRA does no scoring at the tracks that we race at. We rely on the scorers at the track to be
accurate.

We did have a caution flag during the first lap. A complete restart was in effect and the race race was yellow flagged on the last lap and Scott who had taken the white flag just seconds before a yellow flag came out and the race was official at that time.

The Trophy Dash was won by Dean Kallas. Krystal Faulkingham won Heat #1 and Scotty Scott took the win in Heat #2.


The RMLRA Bandolero cars took to the track for their first race of the season and put on a good show for their time racing on the oval. We had a few minor problems with transponders and a few spin outs on the track during the race. The drivers will get better in the next week and improvement with the little things will prevail. These are rookie drivers and they should improve week week. They are going to be exciting to watch wherever they are racing. I believe that all the Bandolero cars made it through the night without any damage and the car owners were happy to be able to load the cars in the trailers with no damage. Congratulations young drivers you did exceptionally well.

Trayc Walker-Scott proved to be the strongest Bandolero car in the field of seven cars. His time of 15.814 led all qualifier’s. Drivers will have to get some experience and find some speed to catch him. Greg Rayl #55 and Brody Moore #78 are two strong cars and should put some pressure on Walker Scott. In winning the feature race Trayc also won the Trophy Dash and two heat races.

I had the chance to talk with all the Bandolero drivers and many parents Saturday and they were all happy with the opportunity to race their Bandolero cars. Before the cars took to the track all cars were given a restrictor plate for their carburetor to slow them down. Car owners at the tracks where we use the transponder for scoring. please be sure it is working properly. The Bandolero cars will make their season debut at Colorado National Speedway this Saturday evening May 12, 2018 We should see a few more Bandolero cars at this track. Legend cars will also be racing on that date. See you at the track.

Driver and car owners of both divisions please remember to turn your Raceceiver off when leaving the track to save the battery for days when it is in use a lot of time. I had to change my battery on the main Raceceiver microphone during the feature race. One more thing to remember is possibly make sure the transponder is sitting low in the car to send a signal to the timing unit when passing over it. That may have been some of the problems with the transponder not working properly.

This Saturday morning April 28, 2018 a guided practice for Bandoleros and rookie Legend drivers introduction to this short track in Cheyenne. This track will open up around 9 AM and the track closes at 5 PM. Here is your chance to get some instructions from our instructors on how to set up and drive this track. We hope to see many of you there. There will be a track appreciation BBQ for those who are in the pits.

The weather for the Big Country practice April 28 looks to be a little better looking as of Monday for Cheyenne.

If you have a car for sale, you should send me an email letting me know. I have had some phone calls and email with potential drivers looking for used cars. Let me know and I can have someone contact you.

Now that the season is officially underway, people help people in the pits and parts are lent to drivers to possibly make the feature later on in the evening. Make sure you take care of returning or setting up a replacement ASAP.

This past weekend several drivers Legend and Bandolero made the trip to Las Vegas to race the three day show at the Bullring. Check out our Facebook page for the results.

The weather was sunny but the wind was brutal as the temperature warmed just slightly as drivers, mechanics and fans tried to stay warm throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Thanks to all of you who travelled a long distance to be with us.

As the sun was setting behind the mountains Kyle Clegg had a big smile on his face after winning the twenty-five lap feature, beating Chris Eggleston by just inches at the finish line. Thirty one cars started the feature and twenty-eight drivers took the checkered flag. One caution flag on lap one but after the restart it was green, white and checker to the end. Traffic played a big part as the finish neared an end and the drivers up front weaved their way through many cars to take the checkered flag. Danny Medina finished third and Blair Cooper and Nick Cooper rounded out your top five finishers.

Earlier in the evening Chris Eggleston had quick time while qualifying with a 18.673 In the first heat race Darrell L. Stewart won the trophy, with Zachary Witherwax finishing second and Christopher Saykally third. Fourteen cars started this Legend Dash. Kyle Clegg won the Legend Fast Dash, with Cody Dempster and Chris Eggleston in the top three.

I would like to thank all the rookies that showed up to race Saturday evening. We do have some good young drivers this season and it will be nice to see what happens to them after learning to drive a Legend car after a few weeks of driving experience. New drivers in their rookie season do check your cars for minor infractions such as ride height, wheel base and rear end off set. These are basic weekly checks after heat races. Read your rule book and know what has to be done and what you can do to help you and your car handle on the track. Ask questions and get answers about tech.

We are off for a couple of weeks before heading to Big Country Speedway in Cheyenne for our next scheduled race May 5th. The RMLRA will hold a Driver orientation class for Bandolero cars and for First and Second year Legend drivers April 28th at Big Country Speedway. Come and practice and learn how to get around this tough race track. More information to come later. INEX memberships that were collected at the track yesterday will be mailed Monday to USLegendcars. For a few of you who have not sent for your INEX license do it now, so you can get your national points right away.

We had some problems with some Receivers last nigh and they appear to be the newer version. If you heard me doing a Raceceiver test many times last night, that was the problem. If you have been with us for many years you know that I have been on the Raceceiver a long time. I need some help for somebody to fill in for me, as I am going to be away from Colorado several times this summer. Contact me please. One more thing, drivers car owners please make sure that you have a transponder in your car to keep track of you on the track. The only track that is not equipped with scoring tape is Hwy 92 in Gering, NE

It is time for the green flag to fly for the RMLRA Legend cars. Saturday evening the season officially opens the 2018 RMLRA season, and the quest for the 2018 championship will begin. With twenty-nine racing dates which includes four racing double headers a total of thirty three features could possibly be raced.

Their could be a good turnout of cars for the first race. We have forty drivers with their INEX licenses as of April 8, 2018 We also have several drivers without their licenses showing on the USLCI web page. Included on the list are thirteen new drivers and all could be considered rookies. While on the track during hot lap practice please watch out for the yellow rear  umpers. These are first year drivers and may not drive in a straight line. All of our drivers that are not up to speed are reminded to stay low on the track and hold your line as race cars approach you from behind. Good luck to all of you on opening night. Drivers are reminded to sign in your car at the Pit Tower after entering the pit. Inside the tower you will find a clipboard with Legends on it. Please sign in so the track can follow the number of cars that are in the pits.


Also a reminder that the new fuel rule will be in place as of the start of the season and fuel will be available at the track for sale so please use the Legend fuel and not the track racing fuel. The price should be around $4.00 per gallon. This fuel is replacing the racing fuel that sells for about $8.00 per gallon. The new fuel will be a lot easier on engines and should keep the engines a little cooler. Ask questions if you do not know where the new location for fuel is. The Raceceiver should be turned to channel 165 during practice and races. Weather
permitting we will see you in the pits Saturday afternoon. If you have a problem with your Raceceiver contact me. I will be in the pits for practice and then I move to the main scoring tower for the races. Remember to use good quality batteries in your Raceceiver. Also remember to turn your Raceceiver off while not in your car. The Raceceiver will drain your battery down if not turned off.

If your race team is using a two way radio the spotter must be in the designated spotter area in the pit side grandstands. Remember that the Raceceiver will override your two way radio and may interrupt your communication with your driver or spotter.

• Pit Gates open 1:00 PM
• Practice 2:30 PM
• Races start 5:30 PM

The weather this past Saturday kept our young drivers in the Bandolero class and first year Legend drivers off the track at Big Country Speedway in Cheyenne this past Saturday. A make up date may be released soon.

Drivers seeking to get on the tracks at I-25 and Big Country can possibly find information on their web sites.
