NEETS
CHANGE FOR 2005 PROVES VERY SUCCESSFUL
When was the last time you have
seen Mountain Speedway jam packed with cars and fans? The
answer to that question is; Anytime that the new NEETS
"ABC Car Crushing" Holiday Stock Car
Series was there. Since NEETS Promoter Billy B. made the
change to totally "bonestock" cars with only
safety equipment added, the car counts have risen to over
200 cars per event in two divisions... The Cottman
Transmission of Hazleton 6/8 cyl division and the
(sponsor soon to be named) 4cyl division.
Now in it's third year of
operation, NEETS will see many changes besides rules for the
two divisions with the first being that all the points
events will be held at Mountain Speedway due to the
extremely high car counts and the computerized transponder
scoring system used there. It would be almost impossible to
keep a accurate record of finishes and a fair point system
for a whole season with self scoring cars as they do at
other tracks in their enduro events. "A lot of point
fund money is on the line and I want it to go to the right
people" says Billy B. Beside the change to an
affordable car, Billy has added a special event to each of
the shows, doubled the amount of Series Officials and is
awarding a nice Holiday Vacation package to one
lucky driver in each division with paid registration to
minimum 5 of the 8 scheduled events, no matter where they
are in points. Each paid registration will be a chance to
win and will be drawn at the December Awards banquet.
Advertising is again most important to Billy as in past
seasons. Fans will see much press in not only the racing
publications such as the AARN, but also Racing Mags,
National/ local TV and radio. Last and most important, each
event will help a different charity non-profit organization.
With the series success, NEETS wants to spread it around by
helping the needy. A portion of the admission and 50/50
ticket sales will go to the charities (see website for
charity list). NEETS is also working along with the
"Racing for Smiles" organization and are welcomed
at any event.
For those who have never
see one of Billy B's shows, The NEETS ABC Car Crushing
Holiday Stock Car Series is enduro racing at it's finest. Each
of the events pull fans and drivers from at least 7 or
8 surrounding states. All of these events are
"themed" and scheduled on or around 8
Holidays throughout the year starting with the January
Christmas themed "BEATERS w/ HEATERS" event. There
are 2 divisions (6/8 cyl and 4cyl) at each event racing from
minimum 100 lap events to the November 2005 season
Championship "MUTHA OF ALL ENDUROS" which is a 300
lap event paying $5,000 to win with an added
"twist"..... The 2 division winners cars are
"CRUSHED" on the spot in front of the fans by the
portable "ABC Car Crusher" after they pass tech.
The events also show extra attractions such as Demo derbys,
celebrities, mascots and or some kind of family
participation with something for the children all the time.
All events offer free drinks such as hot chocolate on
the cold days or Iced tea on the hot days. The events are
just plain (FUN) and with a general admission price of just
$7...it's the most "BANG" for your
"BUCK" you will ever receive. Billy B added
" These events are just like eating one of those ****
potato chips....you can't just attend one".
The next NEETS ABC Car Crushing
Holiday Stock Car Series event will be the "BEATERS w/
HEATERS II" on January 2nd 2005. The event will go on
rain, snow or shine.
