Attention CNS race teams, everything is looking great for Saturday's race however there will be no Test and Tune Friday night. (we need to let everything dry out so we don't get a mud pit).

SUMMARY: Races Saturday are on! However Friday's Test and Tune is canceled.

There have been some minor rule updates. A summary of the changes are as follows:

Super stocks:
The following has been added to the rule book: SPOILER: A rear spoiler, non-adjustable from the driver’s compartment, may be attached to the rear deck-lid, not to exceed 4 inches in height and 60 inches in length. Must be constructed of 1/8 inch metal or ¼ inch Lexan and control the flow of air over one surface only. No rudders, side traps, or forward mounting brackets allowed. Minimum angle is 55 degrees. The spoiler must maintain the same contour as the rear deck lid.

For clarification: The Stock Holly #R4412CT is considered a legal carburetor as it meets the same specifications as a #R4412.

Super Stocks and Pure Stocks:
The following has been added to each respective division’s rules: Side windows and vent windows are NOT allowed.

General Section
The following has been added to the rule book under window nets: No objects may be attached to the window net at any time. The rational is this changes the rating of the window net thus making it a safety violation. It may also impede the ability of safety workers in the event of an emergency. Examples of this include hanging stuffed animals or wire-tying Lexan to them.

Pro Trucks: For clarification purposes, there is still a nose height rule for the division and this will be checked in tech and reads as follows: Front spoiler minimum of 4 inch ground clearance.

All teams that run in NASCAR Divisions at CNS need to have their NASCAR license prior to competing in a NASCAR event at Colorado National Speedway. Teams can go to NASCARmembers.com with your previous NASCAR membership number to renew for 2013, or if you need to create a new membership you can get forms at the Speedway.

Drivers that do not have a valid NASCAR License will not be rewarded therefore it is imperative that you have a valid and current NASCAR License.

The NASCAR Divisions at CNS are: Super Late Models, Late Models, Pro Trucks, Grand American Modifieds, Super Stocks, and Figure 8s.

An unfortunate mistake was made and all the purse checks from Saturday April 6th were dispersed unsigned. Therefore they have been canceled and new ones have been issued and mailed.

Please destroy the unsigned checks. Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience.

MyLaps has come up with a new option for buying/renting your transponder that might be a better solution for many drivers that rent their transponder weekly. The new FLEX Transponder comes with everything you need to run the MyLaps system (transponder, chargers, clips, power adapters, etc.) but it will need to be renewed each season (or two depending on what you choose). This new option makes it dramatically cheaper than renting weekly over the course of an entire season.

Here is how it works, you can buy a new FLEX Transponder for $150 that will be good for one year only. Then you renew the transponder next season for just $90, or choose a 2 year renewal option for $155.

If you are interested in buying one of these new FLEX transponders please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it and let her know you are interested in buying one. The track will be placing a order by Friday the 12th and we would like to know how many we should order therefore your quick response would be appreciated.
