Thanks to John Zobkiw’s Year Around Tax Service of Rochester, N.Y. for stepped up to post the $2,500 purse at South Bend!

Any feel for how many LO206 Sr racers are coming to this race?

Would it help if $$$ and product awards were offered?

Money and awards always help, but not sure how much. I don't know how many LO206s there are in Northern Indiana, but in Central Indiana I doubt many head up. SIRA has a race in Hagerstown, IN with a $4,000 purse. New Castle does not have a club race that weekend. Maybe some of their regulars will make the trip...

I wish I could get Friday's off to come race Gold Cup. Unfortunately, I don't see that happening. There is no way I would show up on Saturday after everyone else has a full day of practice in on me.
 
Alcohol Animal classes are Animal Medium at 360# and Animal Heavy Mix at 390# for alcohol, 375# for Pro Gas Animal. Both classes run Saturday and Sunday.
 
2014 WKA Gold Cup Pro Gas Animal racers continues to grow!

Forecast is looking a little crazy, but rain or shine they are handing out checks!!! SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
This Saturday at MRP Brian Bass, owner of Van-K Wheels, will be in attendance and will be providing racers with a special BBQ cookout after the races are complete! Brian did some cooking at VIR Road Race a few weeks ago and it was terrific. He has a small competition cooker that will cook enough brisket to feed 60-80 people, he figures. There will be a few small side items. First come, first serve until food runs out...

Brian is a great sponsor of the Gold Cup and is traveling to South Bend from the Charlotte area, so be sure to get some food Saturday night after the LO206 Shootout and thank him! He's cooking for us free of charge and is happy to do it!

Also fitting that this weekend is the Van-K Wheels / MGM Chassis Nationals! The first time Van-K or MGM have title sponsored a WKA Gold Cup national!

Thanks Brian and Van-K!!
