Howdy racers!

We just completed a very successful 2023 opening weekend with 2 days of great racing at Imperial Raceway. There was a great car count both nights on a racy track. Not everything went smoothly and lessons were learned so we've got some room for improvement at future events.

A bit of a reminder (for ALL of us, trust me I've been a big-time bad example over the years)..... Any time you are in the public view you are a role model, ambassador for CLS and the sport we love. Whether giving an interview for the track, local podcast, radio, etc.... you are always onstage and must act professionally and with proper decorum. It's pretty easy to forget your audience due to adrenaline and drop your guard and spiel on like you were at the local elbow bender with your buddies. Please be aware of your surroundings so as not to offend our sponsors, promoters, kids, wildlife, pretty much anyone. You can easily get your point across and remain within the proper boundaries.

OK, lecture over...... thanks to everyone for their participation this weekend, it looks like the competition is going to be pretty fierce this year. Next CLS race is this Saturday March 18th at Bakersfield Speedway, the next Best of the West race with SWLS is April 1st at Mohave Raceway.
