It is with much sadness that after this past Sunday’s Mother’s Day event, we must announce that due to low turnout in both racer and spectator counts as well as support for our series in general, we can no longer continue to operate our events at the Kilkare Dragway facility. Our series has been struggling in the Dayton/Cincinnati area for some time now. We’ve made many improvements to our program in the hopes that it would entice more people to our series, without luck. Even though we were not able to make the April track rental payment so that we could pay our employees and racers, Kilkare graciously agreed to allow us to try and make up the balance due by letting us put on the May event with the hopes the turnout would be better, thus bringing in enough to cover both track rental fees so that we could continue our program on a race by race basis. Unfortunately, this did not happen and we are now forced to take a step back with our program until we can pay the track our outstanding balance owed. We cannot stress enough that NO other track would have even considered that as an option and we hope that our business decision does not affect anyone’s decision to continue to race at Kilkare. If anything, the kindness that they have shown us should firm up each of your beliefs in that they are an excellent facility to attend and work with. We cannot thank the entire staff and the owners of Kilkare Dragway enough for all of their patience and understanding. They have supported our series since June of 2009 and were very much hoping we could continue racing next month. We have talked with Kilkare about plans to run a few classes on Saturday with them, and we may do so once our balance is paid. We will make another announcement in regard to that decision should we choose to go that route. So to sum things up, our remaining events at Kilkare are now on hold. The sooner we can pay them the sooner we can renegotiate our series involvement with Kilkare. Thank you to everyone who has and does support our series, no matter where we are or have been. We’ve met so many great people in our 5 years of operation and we hope that when we are able to “get back on track” we’ll be able to provide you with a place to race and see you again. Any future plans, whether it be at Kilkare and or other facilities, will be posted here on our website. Good luck to everyone and we hope to be back soon!

Our second scheduled event is ready to get underway this Sunday at Kilkare Dragway. The weather is looking perfect for records to be broken. With it being Mother’s Day, we are letting ladies in for free! So unless you gals are racing, come on out and enjoy the day with your families on us! We’ll have an extra special treat for you racers, too. Roger Richards and Stan Creekmore, both renowned professional photographers, will be on site taking photos and reporting for Competition Plus! Roger has been covering NHRA and IHRA events for as long as I can remember, and is also one of the ADRL’s top shooters along with Stan. So get those cars out, shined up and ready to put on a show! Thanks in advance to ALL of our racers, fans, sponsors and everyone at Kilkare Dragway for continuing to support our series. It means the world to us and we hope to continue to grow and provide all of you with a place to race! See you Sunday!

Well guys & girls here it is. We need this next event to do well or there may not be any more OSM events at Kilkare after May. The track has been extremely forgiving and willing to work with us but they are also a business as are we. We are in business to make money and that still hasn't happened. Fortuantely with the new payout schedule i was and am able to pay the racers, and made just enough to pay our employees for April, but we were not able to pay the track rental. This is not good business. Kilkare has very generously agreed to let us pay both rental fees at the Mother's Day event May 9th. So, in order to do that we need a MINIMUM of 534 paying spectators. I am asking all of you to please help us get as many spectators out as possible! We are doing more radio ads with 96 Pure Rock as well as ticket giveaways. But i feel the best advertising we can get is from you racers & fans ...word of mouth. So please help us keep this series going and ask anyone you know to come out & spend a great day with us! On a side note... i have proposed a very rough draft for a Saturday racing plan in which everyone, both OSM and their NHRA bracket program could run together, to Kilkare. This is something I don't want everyone getting their hopes up about, as there are many details to possibly be worked out and I'm not 100% sure its feasible yet. But, this would be the only other way we could stay in business other than getting spectator count up on Sundays. Thank you all,
Kelly |
