Drivers: If you did not give me your name/address/phone/e-mail I need it. Get in touch.

If anyone has a destroyed camera, I want to do a display for the end of season bash, I'd like to get it from you before then.

Keep in mind the goal is to have fun, winning is not important. If you're in this game to "win", you're playing the wrong game.

ALL DRIVERS! NOTICE!

For the 2008 Season you will have to do the following:

1. Your car will need to pass a tech inspection BEFORE the first race date. This means you will have to bring it out for us to look at. Bring your car to Atomic Cycles 17322 Saticoy Van Nuys, CA 91046 open 11-6 Tues-Sat 12-5 Sun. (818) 609-0113 I can make special appointments to check your car, get in touch. The main things we will be looking for will be deliberate weighting of the car, sharp points/edges, to see if you have tow hooks installed, and that your brakes work. Most of the cars from last year will have to make some minor changes to pass tech, don't worry. You have a couple months to do this, get cracking. We will be checking to see if your car is built under the new 2008 season guidelines. If you do not get clearance before race day, you don't race. Out of town races (meaning far away, not the next area code), follow the new rules, we'll inspect your car on race day.

2. You will have to sign a release of liability waiver to protect us from sue-happy assholes! Isn't Cali great? You're going to have to do this every race from here on out.

3. Everything you need to know for next season in located in the SFVISBF rules section (second edition). Read the whole thing! Those of you that can't read, have someone read it for you.

Keep in mind there will be no exceptions. I don't want to hear you snivel about things, the rules are in place for safety and logistical reasons and they make perfect sense. If you don't like it you can always go join that "other" soapbox federation. Oh yeah, there is no other soapbox federation. Okey dokey then.....
