TECH NOTE - 10.13.09

We are taking several engines to the dyno for testing. The pay for Carlson, Sauter and Haseleu will be held until testing is finished. We are also testing a Wegner Spec and several other engines in our dyno testing. This testing will not change the out come of the end of the year standings as it is for our info only. This will also make sure our weights will be correct for the 2010 season. Total test results will be the info of ASAMT. The reason we are holding pay is to make sure we get the engines out for the test and get this info soon. Thank you for you help in this matter.

Thank You for a great season. Hope all goes well for the off season. We look to be bigger and better for the 2010 season. Thanks for all your help in the 2009 season and if you would like to talk about any rules or tech questions please give me a call. I am always around from 5 to 6 at 920.863.8012.

Thank You
Mike Lemke
ASAMT Tech Director

After the race will be to late. It cost’s you to much to have this happen. But with the fields we have and some of the best short track racers in the country we must keep every one on an even playing field.

Thank You
