Hello everyone,

I wanted to pass on some sad news about one of our club members.  Bob Czachorowski,  grandfather of Josh, Jimmy, and Jacob Staten, passed away early this morning.  Please keep the Staten Family in your prayers, as they will need our support right now

The arrangements are as follows:

Visitation is on:

Wednesday, April 23 from 1 PM - 9 PM

AND

Thursday, April 24 from 1 PM - 9 PM (Rosary Service at 7 PM)

at:

We would like to share the following with our club and Region 4 families:

 As many of you know my dad, Bob Czachorowski (Joshua, Jimmy and Jacob's Grandpa) was diagnosed with melanoma (cancer) in Feb 2006.  Last fall it had advanced to his liver.  He has been doing chemo treatments since then.  Recently a CAT scan showed that the cancer in his lungs was almost gone and the cancer in his liver had decreased.  It looked as though over time he was going to beat this.  More recently he has experienced some symptoms that prompted a MRI.  Those results came back yesterday and showed that the cancer has spread to his brain.  He will begin another form of treatment next week after seeing another doctor on Monday.  We ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he conquers yet another step in his fight against cancer.

Thank you

Debbie Staten

For Immediate Release
New Indoor Race Date Announced
From: Tony Barhorst, 937-369-3693


COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Rumbleseries.com President Tony Barhorst announces the addition of the Buckeye Bowl Indoor Midget Car Nationals, a new indoor race event date at the Ohio State Fairgrounds Coliseum on Saturday, Nov. 1. There will be a load in, practice and Halloween Pit Party on Friday, Oct. 31.

The United States Auto Club returns with a special event that combines the National, Regional, Kenyon, and Ford Focus Cars running a full show with a 60-lap feature on Saturday, Nov. 1.

The Outlaw Modified 600 cc Midgets take off their wings to run their full show and a 50-lap feature. The Lucas Oil Quarter Midgets, and Junior Sprints will also compete.

The Rumbleseries kart classes will have a 50-percent raise in payout this year for Columbus. The karts classes will feature senior medium, senior heavy, junior heavy, senior champ caged karts, and junior sportsman caged karts will compete.

The load in starts at noon on Oct. 31 with practice running from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. A Halloween Pit Party will be Friday during and after practice. The pits open at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1, the front gates open at noon, with the full USAC event after 7 p.m.

“I have put a lot of thought into how we can improve on the event we had there in January of 2007“, said Barhorst.

“The Nov. 1 date should have warmer temperatures that will help with the cars going from the pit building across the alley into the Coliseum. We are going to try to make the track a few feet wider, and use large ATV's with rollbars to push the midgets off, instead of the pickup trucks that were used at the last event.

“I am looking to possibly add one more venue to our Columbus and Fort Wayne events to make this a true indoor series. The best part our series plays is the unique showcase it is for new talent like 2007 Fort Wayne winner Billy Wease, and 2007 Columbus winner Blake Fitzpatrick,” said Barhorst”

Entries will be available by e-mailing tbracefest@aol.com, or calling 937-369-3693 for event information.

I wanted to let all of you know that Jim Nuckles suffered a heart attack recently.  He has multiple blockages and the plan is to get him stabilized and to proceed with open heart surgery sometime this week.  Please keep the Nuckles family in your thoughts and prayers.  I will forward on more information as it becomes available.
