NEETS GEARING UP FOR NEW YEAR

It is 2003 and here at the North East Enduro Tour Series we are moving right along with signing up new tracks for the schedule, talking to and securing sponsors for the individual races, and taking applications from new members.

Billy Bartley, tour series Promoter/Director says, "The outlook is very positive as more and more tracks are contacting us and wanting us at their facility in the coming season". Speedways such as Tioga Motorsports Park, Mahoning Valley Speedway, and Orange County Fairgrounds Speedway have contacted us and are deciding on dates to run our program. The NEETS schedule should be finalized sometime in January 2003.

The 2003 NEETS roster is starting to look like the "who's who" of Enduro racing. Many of the members are Enduro champions and top runners at their individual home tracks, which will prove most interesting when it comes race time and they will have to compete with each other. Enduro racing is always exciting, coupled with the fact that we are putting on a touring show with drivers of this caliber will be a show that should not be missed.

Mountain speedway, 1/3 mile asphalt track in St. John's Pa. will be the home based track for the series and will host 3 sanctioned races, a 150 lap season opener on May 18th, a mid-season 150 lap double points championship on August 3rd and the year end 250 lap double points Championship on October 10th. All races at Mountain speedway will feature computerized AMB NASCAR type transponder scoring which will give an accurate count of all laps and no need for human scorers.

A season end banquet will top the season off in November where the 2003 North East Enduro Tour Series champion will be crowned and all points fund money will be distributed to the top 10 in points plus many other awards.

A special pre-season (enduro car only) practice day is scheduled at Mountain speedway on Saturday, April 5th. There will be NEETS officials on hand to pre-inspect your cars for safety and tour legality. You will be able to test and tune your car throughout the day with many hours of "on-track time". There will be a NEETS meeting at the break in the middle of the day and tour licenses will be available.

Fans all love enduro racing and the North East Enduro Tour is about to take it to the next level. We hope you will attend a show at a track near you when we are in your town.
