’57 to Miss 2011 Season

Posted on Thursday, March 24, 2011 by Roger

March 24, 2011: Today I made the decision that the ’57 will not race this season. I will continue to help prepare Chris’ Chevelle for racing and maintain the database and our racing site, but that will be the extent of my involvement with the racing program this year.

I was very pleased with the 10.602 we ran in 2010 at Pacific Raceways which may be my last time behind the wheel. – Roger Young

“…Drivers like Dale Earnhardt Jr. and David Stremme and Jeff Gordon have all had sponsorship from the National Guard and Air National Guard. This season, dragster Tony Schumacher will Army sponsorship for his 11th year…”

House Rejects Anti-NASCAR Funding Proposal – FoxNews – Feb 18, 2011

“The House black flagged on Friday a controversial plan to end the Pentagon’s sponsorship of a NASCAR team that was introduced by a Democrat seeking to give Republicans another target for slashing wasteful spending…”
