Region 3 Holds Banquet at The International Motorsports Hall of
January 2005 Region 3 Holds Banquet at The International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega, AL Special points of interest: National Meeting Boardwalk Hotel Feb. 2nd—5th Las Vegas, NV. If you see something you don’ tl i k e , VOLUNTEER Region 3 brought 2004 to a close at the Speed Channel Dome located adjacent to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame on Saturday, January 15th. With over 160 people from Region 3 in attendance, the event was a huge success! Regional awards were given on the same stage as NASCAR Hall of Fame inductees have stood including Dale Earnhardt, Richard Petty and Bobby Allison. The drivers were very excited to have this privilege. The Master of Ceremonies was North Georgia's announcer, Jack Slayton. The National Anthem and God Bless America was sung by Memphis Recording Artist Shelly Ruffin. The guests also toured the Motorsports Hall of Fame and our own Quarter Midget exhibit. The exhibit is in the process of being updated and will be something not to miss when QM racers gather in the July for the Eastern Grands. The museum is only 1 1/2 hours drive from the Cumming Track.

I am very excited to start off the new term with the newly elected National Board of Directors and the Regional Directors. We have only been in office a couple of weeks and I have already heard some great ideas as well as have seen some great things already from this board. We are busy preparing for the National meeting that will be taking place in a couple of weeks. It sounds like we will have a very full meeting. I would also like to remind everyone that if you haven't already renewed your QMA membership to do so and remember that the grace period is ONLY to keep your QMA membership # in the database so that it is not given out to a new member. It is also required this year to send in a 1x1 photo of each person over the age of 16 on your membership and to send in a copy of birth certificates of anyone under the age of 18. The rulebook committee has been working on the 2005 QMA rulebook by continuing to find they gray areas and to work on those, our goal is to have the rulebook complete and printed to send out along with the Short Sheet this year. Please keep checking the QMA official website for updates, Tawnya is really working hard to keep all the members up to date with what is going on in your organization. For everyone that is racing over the winter, I wish you luck. Patty Abbott QMA National Secretary Publicity We are already off to a great year, I want to thank al loft heRD’ st hatmade sure they got an article to me. I can not make the QR happen without all of you. Please remember we will be doing an on-line QR EVERY month and the deadline is the 15th. If your club wants a story please get it to me by the deadline along with any photos I do ask that all photos come as JPEG along with a description of who, what and where. Please e-mail at [email protected] Page 5 At the national meeting we will work the details out of when we will be doing a printed version. I am looking for a few regular by-lines as well, a where are they now and a history column, if you would like to help in these areas please get a hold of me. I see great things ahead and am looking forward to working with all of you this 2005 racing season. Tawnya Bacchetti National Publicity QMA Volume 1, Issue 2 Welcome, from the VP I would like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to the 2005 race season. I know its a little early but before we know it will be back racing a full schedule for most of us. I look forward to seeing past friends and making new friends. I can honestly say we as a QMA family for the most part have a great time of racing and fellowshipping together. As we get underway I would like for all of us to remember who we are doing this for and make sure our kids build some great memories. Your kids will either have good memories or bad, but the choice is really up to us as their families as to what kind of memories they will have and if they want to do this with their own Children when they become parents. One thing to always remember, you are either a good witness or a bad witness with you actions. On another note please get involved with your clubs and regions and try to help out wherever you can. Be a volunteer these are our kids and lets show them we care. Please everyone have a great 2005 race season, and I hope to see you around a racetrack somewhere this year. Good luck to all our 2005 QMA drivers and their families. Charlie Cagle Vice President QMA A Note form Safety Dear Fellow QMA members, Thank you for your confidence in electing me to the office of National Safety Director. I will do my best to not only continue the exceptional safety record of QMA but try to improve it. Safety i sn oton epe r s on ’ sr e s pon s i bi l i t y ,i t ’ se v e r y on e ’ sr e s pon sibility. The impeccable safety record that QMA has i sn oa c c i de n t ;i t ’ st h er e s u l t ofma nype opl e ’ sh a r dwor k and dedication to a sport we all love. I have some ideas; some ideas have been already been passed along to me on how Page 6 we can improve the safety of everyone involved in a QMA event and with your help, I am confident that we can improve on an already great safety record. My goal, of course is to have zero accidents but I also realize that accidents do happen. If we can reduce the severity and frequency of incidents we will be going in the right direction. Please take the time to think about safety at your home track. Look around, even at h ome I ’ m s u r et h e r ea r e places to improve the safety of all QMA members. Discuss safety issues with your club Safety Director. Club Safety Directors discuss safety issues with your Regional Safety Director. An issue you see at your home track may be happening at another track near you or the other track has solved the problem. I will be in contact with the Regional Safety Directors periodically throughout the year to inquire how I can help them in their region and to gain a better perspective on how other clubs approach their own safety issues. Communication is the first s t e pt oi mpr ov i ng QMA’ s safety record. Respectfully, Bob Burgess National Safety Director QMA Tech note There will be a comprehensive Tech seminar held Friday February 4th at 1:00, this event will take place at the national meeting in Las Vegas at the Boardwalk Hotel. I would like to see all tech personnel from each region to join us for this very informative session. So get ready to get the latest on tech issues in QMA and how to tech all QMA engines. See you in Vegas, Glenn Lewis National Tech Director QMA Quarter Reporter Region 1 Silver City QMC Meriden CT Asphalt Custom Midget Club Thompson CT Asphalt Region 1's tracks, Silver City in Meriden, CT and Little T in Thompson, CT are both highly competitive tracks. Car counts average 150-170 cars weekly. We have large Honda classes, averaging 35 for Sr Hondas & 25 for the Hvy 160's. We also have highly competitive Deco classes. Many of our Region 1 families travel extensively and they do well wherever they go. The Eastern Grands at Thompson last year went pretty smoothly with great weather and over 700 cars. It was nice to see the best talent from all over the country show up. These young guns showed that NASCAR has nothing over us, and our shows are free! We are looking forward to possibly having new classes and engine platforms approved by QMA. Possibilities include a Honda GX200, the Briggs World Formula 200, and the Yamaha 200. The older kids want to go faster and hopefully these new classes will keep them in quarter midgets longer, as this is one of the main issues facing QMA today. Auto Racing News to do a 1/4 Midget racing article each week. You can also email Kevin on our Region Two Web site. If anyone has any concerns or problems, please follow the chain of command and contact your Club President who will be glad to answer any questions or find out the answer. See everyone soon! Our schedules will be posted soon and we welcome all of you to come and race with us.

The Region did hold its annual January Region Meeting to discuss the RCPS and our Region Format for the year. It was a very productive meeting. Even with some slippery roads from some snow, the Region Meeting was well attended by all six of our clubs. I would like to thank them all for their time and commitment. I am personally looking forward to the National Meeting in February. They are always an interesting time. With a new National Board, and a couple new Region Directors, we should have some very productive days and can keep moving QMA forward. I think there will be some good discussions on ways to improve and build QMA. Any QMA member who has not attended a National Meeting should think about attending one, just to see how QMA rules are made, changed, amended, etc. Region 9 hopes everyone has a safe and healthy 2005. Some Regions are lucky enough to be racing already. Please have a lot of fun. QMA stresses the family aspect of our sport. That is what is great about it. The time we get to spend with our family. Keep that spirit alive and just go racing to have fun. Region 9 will keep reminding you that the 2005 Western Grands are being held in Portland Oregon. If you h a v e n’ tbe e nt ot h e i rf a c i l i t y it is a beautiful place. Region 9 would like to invite you all to come out and have some fun with us.

Bob Schaefer RD#12 Region 13 New Smyrna QMRA New Smyrna FL Asphalt Mid-Florida QMRA Orlando FL Asphalt Tampa Bay QMRA Tampa FL Asphalt South Florida QMA Jupiter FL Asphalt Page 12 From Region 13, 2004 was an exciting year of quarter midget racing with strong competition throughout Florida. Some of the excitement included the establishment of the "Florida Cup Series" with monthly races at different tracks in Florida. Mid-Florida QMRA's move to it's temporary track in Shar- pes. South Florida QMA was born. Tampa Bay QMRA held their first States Race. Many members from the region traveled and raced at the Eastern and Dirt Grands. We dodged and helped each other through 4 Hurricanes this the summer. New Smyrna held several QMA Promo days and we ended the year with the 46th Annual Tangerine at MidFlorida. 2005 started without rest with the largest quarter midget race ever for New Smyrna QMRA as they hosted the 2nd annual "New Smyrna Little 500" on January 1st and 2nd. With the close of Quarter Reporter Region 13 Cont... 2004 racing season we said goodbye to some of our most experienced quarter midget drivers as they retire. Keith and Maureen Abbott have done so much for quarter midget racing in Florida and throughout the country that there would be no way to list it all or adequately thank them for the hours of service they have given to the sport. Kory Abbott, their youngest driver is retiring after 11 years of racing. Cory Stoekel is another retiring driver that with his departure ends New Smyrna President, Bob Stoekel's time in that position. Bob and and his vision for New Smyrna has helped the club grow and brought many families to the sport throughout the years. We also have to say goodbye to Sam Green and his father Ron and the oldest driver of Hagner Racing, Michael Hagner. All of these young men have been a positive influence on the younger drivers and we look forward to seeing them at the track as handlers for other drivers or a younger brother. Thank you all for your years of dedication to quarter midget racing, we wish you the best in all your endeavors. ter with timely information that we all need to know. Region 13 members that aren't already receiving this newsletter and want to be included should send their name, phone number and email address to [email protected] so you can receive the latest information and updates. We are looking forward to a great racing season this year. See you at the track, Curt Sullivant In an effort to keep the Regional Director, Region 13 members of Region 13 fully informed, last year This year the Regional we established a new web Board and the Boards of site www.qmaregion13.com the local clubs have many and we also publish a QMA goals and projects for the Region 13 update newslet- 2nd Annual New Smyrna 500 A Huge Success Little New Smyrna Speedway was the host for the 2nd Annual New Smyrna 500 New Years Day Race. With a car count of 222 cars and quarter midget families participating from as far north as New York and New Jersey, time would be of the essence to get the program completed in the two days scheduled. Page 13 year, some of them include: Implement a coordinated race schedule for the tracks in Florida, support our neighbors to the north in Region 3 and NGQMA as they prepare for the Eastern Grands, plan and develop a permanent home for South Florida QMA, increase the local membership by hosting more QMA Promotion days and most important, have a great year racing and enjoy the time we are able to spend with our kids. The first day started out sunny and warm with some great racing underway. Unfortunately the sea breeze brought in the clouds and rain by late afternoon. The three-hour rain delay prevented any of the lower mains to be run with only the heat races completed on the first day. With thirtynine races to complete on the final day the amount of laps per race were shortened and the program was completed by 9:00pm. With the Tangerine and the New Smyrna 500, there was plenty of racing here in Region 13 this last week of 2004. The New Smyrna Board of Directors and their members would like to thank everyone for their participation, patience and help in order to make this a very successful event.

The event went smoothly considering this location has never held an event this large. The weather started out cool and wet but warmed up to the beautiful Florida sunshine with temperatures reaching the 70’ sbyt heendoft heweek. The format for the Tangerine is one that allows a driver quite a bit of track time with points given for qualifying, and two heat races. The total number of points determines where a driver would start in the mains. This year over 200 cars came to compete at this event, many were from out of town so this format plus practice gave the driver and hander a chance to get familiar with the track. The spectators watching from the bleachers were on the edge of their seats as they watched cars go three wide down the long straight-aways and into the turns knowing only one car would come out ahead. There were the normal crashes and tires flying but most cars were able to get back out to finish the races due to the wall being so far away from the outside of the track. The Mid Florida Board of Directors and Members as well as Region 13 would like to thank those families who came down to race and for your continued support with the tradition of quarter midget racing in Florida. We welcome you back for the 47th Tangerine Invitational in 2005 Check out the article written about the Tangerine at http://www.floridatoday.com/!NEWSROOM/sportstoryS123 1MIDGETS.htm Quarter Reporter 2004 New Smyrna Banquet Honors Drivers By Terri Sullivant What a way to end a great season of racing! The banquet committee for Little New Smyrna QMRA did an outstanding job this past weekend hosting the 2004 Awards Banquet at the Daytona Beach Plaza Resort and Spa. With close to 300 people attending, the room was filled with tables set with black and white checkered tablecloths with green, red, yellow and white balloons floating in the air. The trophies were all lined up in a row in front for everyone to see and looked impressive as they glistened under the lights. The festivities began with our New Smyrna tradition of standing for the national anthem. A video was shown with pictures and music of our drivers racing at various events this past year. It ended with a special tribute to Bob Stoekel, for his ongoing dedicat i onandser vi ceasNewSmy r na’ s President and Vice President for the past 3 years. The Banquet Committee, the outgoing 2004 Board and incoming 2005 NSQMRA Board were all recognized with plaques and or jackets. With the help of our special Friday night Race Announcer, Tom Gray the real presentations began with the announcement of our novice drivers and concluded with the Heavy GX 160 class. Several door prizes were given throughout the afternoon with congratulations to Tony Pelican for winning the Richard Petty Ride Along, Ralph Miller and Tony Pelican won Air Compressors, Paul Gertsch Jr. and Jordan Snipes names were call to win a air tank as well as a tool kit and shop lights. Last but not least Dallas Gentry went home with her own beach chair. The banquet festivities concluded with special rings given to our retiring drivers, Kory Abbott, Sam Green, Michael Hagner and Cory Stoekel. Not only were these drivers retiring so were their parents. A special memory book was given to Keith and Maureen Abbott containing years of special pictures from their first driver, son Kevin, on through to Kimberly, Kyle and finishing with Kory. Another retiring parent was our own President, Bob Stoekel. With tears and heavy hearts 2005 President Betty Gertsch presented Bob with a special Mark Martin, Viagra racing jacket autographed by Mark. Once again it was a great way to end the 2004 season and to start getting ready for 2005! Page 21 Quarter Reporter Page 22
