Some of you may have heard that a group of drivers have got together to work on the behalf of all the drivers at Sauble Speedway to improve on a great facility that we already have. The group consists of five late model drivers: Marvin Freiburger, Jason Parker, Duane Stade, Tyler Williams and Dan Wright. Also, have John Sorenson aka Squid as our spokesperson.

So some of the ideas from the emails the drivers sent in was to have a spotter stand were all the spotters will be when the race is on .The track will have a official on the stand also to watch the race . In a caution the tower will relay the line up to the official in the spotter stand which will inform the spotters so to let there driver know . Should make it more exciting for drivers and fans

Other great idea from the email list was to have a vehicle that can carry the stay dry and spread it to , have a broom on it also. if you ever been to new Smyrna or sunset they have one .Also get the same stay dry there use which does not need to be swept up ever time.
Which results in more excitement for the drivers and fans

These drivers have sent in by email some fantastic ideas other one would be having the area to check the ride height and scale the car behind concession stand,the fuel tanks,the wash rooms . Have it all fence in with a board fence at 7 feet high.
Using the 5 pads beside the wash room for the staging area for tech .which again will be fence off . So kept your emails coming with good ideas . thanks for all your input

The llm drivers have come up with other ways to help off set the cost of Tires .
They came up with getting a sponsor for each night over and above the main sponsor .
So the night would cost the sponsor 700.00 dollars . With that 700.00 dollars we will make up 2 signs which will be posted on the front stretch in front of the fans and a sign on the spotter stands in the pits and will be there for the season .The remaining money will buy 4 tires . Each night prior to the llm feature all llm car numbers will be in a hat and four lucky numbers will be drawn to win one tire each . To qualify u must be a registered driver and make one lap in the feature .
We have had great response already with sponsors at this time we r up to 5 sponsors .
So we ask all saublespeedway llm drivers to see if we can fill all the llm race nights.q

So to keep the fans interested Another idea sent in by email was to line up the first two llm heats by handicap and or draw a number. The top four or five out of the first and second heats will race together in the third heat. This will give an opportunity to the slower cars to win in the fourth heat. Way more excitement for drivers like myself to win a heat and make our sponsors proud and keep the excitement in it for the drivers and fans.so please let's email more ideas in to saublespeedwaydrivers@yahoo.ca

get r done

What a great and refreshing idea instead of the drivers bitching and moaning about the promoter, the drivers are aiding the track to make it a better experience for both the fans and the drivers. I wish you all at Sauble the best for the 2013 season. It sounds like your moving in the right direction and forward thinking to make the facility successful and the drivers and fans have a great place to see some exciting racing. I'm sure Jason is really impressed, way to go guys, see you next year at SS.

The drivers understand that it hard to get one big sponsor to sponsor the llm class .
So we have talked about having 2 sponsors , one on the front windshield and one on the rear . We have talked to 2 sponsors and they r willing to work with us. That will double our year end pay out . Fantastic send more ideas. you drivers r great

Don,t forget that the line up row will be moved back to accommodate tow truck,track officials, and EMS vehicles to get better access to the track, as well as re numbering the line up area and pit pads. 2 sets of scales one for tech, and one for practice and set up, there looks like some new concrete and asphalt areas are in the works as well

I would like to thank both the Drivers Committee and Sauble Speedway for this initiative and commitment to the track. I believe this forming of a 'Drivers Committee' is a game changer and will set Sauble Speedway apart from other tracks.
Every track has its areas to improve and this is a great platform to collect ideas, organize and plan, and then set things into motion. Some of the ideas I have heard will certainly make Sauble Speedway a better place for both the fans and the drivers. We already have some of the best drivers and fans in the Country but I believe this will help build on that.
I also believe that this will pull the drivers and cars in which will inturn increase the fan base. If you're looking for a track to race at for the season or the odd night....put Sauble at the top of your list!!

There is a lot of changes going to be made around the track in 2013 . So to make it happen we r asking for all the drivers and there families to all work together in helping to make it a fantasy place to go to race and put on a hell of a show for our fans And sponsors.
It would be nice each class junior llm,4 cyl,street stock,and thunder car to come up with ideas to help each one of there classes like a tire sponsor each night etc.The more we all put in the more we will get out. More cars will come,more fans will come, and more of a chance to get better pay outs but first we need the cars, fans, and a lot of working together to make it happen so kept up the great work . Merry christmas
