Guys, You don't need a Fire Coat but it's highly recommended!
You need to have long sleeves please. NO SHORTS! NO CUT OFF T-SHIRTS! NO FLIP FLOPS! ETC.
I know it's going to be warm, but this is to keep anything hot from spraying directly onto your skin.
Thanks and look forward to putting some faces with screen names.
Crusher JON, By any chance will you be attending this event? I would like a chance to meet you in person.
Thanks, Rob Baker

i only saw the full size cars and I thought that was one of the best features I've seen for a long time. Every car there was a good car and when it came down to the end I figured everybody would start baggin' into the money. I was wrong! Great show guys and Rob Baker...I'm talking directly to you..... You and your crew did a fantastic job and I will do what I can to help get you and your crew back into DGCO assuming you will have us. If you don't want to come back and deal with this mess...I wouldn't blame you. Your inspections makes me want to build a car again... Nick...You are a good driver and a good builder, but if you didn't already know this, that was the biggest case of luck and timing I have seen in a long time. You earned it! Great job man -Jay And if any of you guys have a car left don forget...Don't overlook Overbrook. Stop by and say hi even if you don't have a car.

I just got back from events this weekend. Just wanted to say thanks to the driver for making the changes to their cars as need to pass our inspections. I heard alot of people saying that we inspect the best they been too. Heck even the guys that didn't pass had told us they had run their cars at Lawrence before without anyone catching what they had done. I also would like to say- Concrete must be cheaper in Kansas!- ;D Love the look on some of the guys faces when we found their "added" material to their cars. That was fun when people tried to agrue with us that we didn't know what we were talking about- Anyways, It was nice meeting new people and getting to see how Lawrence derby is First hand. R&R Promotions would like to come back, but we have to make some changes with the event. The changes will need to be made by the Fair board and R&R Promotions. With the response of phone calls and emails after the derby, we feel that we can make Lawrence a big event again as long as the Fair board is willing to make this changes and see that things do need to change! But I do have a feeling the fair board may be like some other board and think things should change in 1 year and not give us another chance to build this event. I've already been asked by 2 other fair to meet with them for next years events. Thanks and hope to see some of you again. I know I'll see some of you at our Team derby In macon, missouri on Aug 27th. Thanks, Rob Baker

well aint that just typical of the douglas county fairboard, whats wrong fairboard you couldnt have your guys win the derby since most didnt even show up cause they knew they couldnt pass without the fairboards buddies to let them in? wasnt the guy that won the same one your "enforcer car/make sure our buddys win car" tried to take out last year? sure was funny not having any of those pricks in the crows nest trying to meddle in the derby. thats right cause all the fairboard members were running around trying to make the drivers and pitmen pay a extra 10$ to sit wherever they want. if lawrence aint a R&R show next year i guess im going else where. that must of really ticked them off that all the cars were fair for the first time in years ;D cant believe they would change after 1 year and they let those other groups run it forever and it was never as fair as it was this time
