FiberwerX WCT Townsel Mermorial Night Race

*Please keep all posts about this event in this thread*

El Cajon, CA

Round three of the 2010 Competitive Metals Championship presented by DRIVE

FiberwerX Off Road Fiberglass is pleased to announce the continued support of the DRIVE Racing Series and encouragement of Desert Racing in the Imperial Valley. In addition to the Title Sponsorship of September 18th Night Race, FiberwerX is leading the way to having 25 trucks in the 1450 class race for free.

FiberwerX is working with several other companies as well as DRIVE Off Road Racing to put together a sponsorship package that will cover the entry cost of (25) 1450 racers at the FiberwerX WCT Townsel Mermorial Night Race. 25 names will be drawn from a hat on Saturday at the drivers meeting. The entry fees for those 25 teams will be refunded by the end of the race. To be eligible all teams must pre-registered by Saturday September 4th and have paid the entry fee before the end of registration on Sept 18.

When all is said and done there is expected to be up to 50 trucks racing the 1450 class at this event. The only fees that the raffle winning teams will have to pay are the $20 Survey Fund and the $25 Year End Points Fund. All other cost associated with the entry fee are being covered by FiberwerX and the associated event promotion.

Jason McNeil of FiberwerX commented on the additional support which he has inspired. “The 1450 style truck racing is where I came from. My brothers and I built off road trucks at home. My dad pulled his cars out of the garage, and before he knew it, my brothers and I would have a truck torn up and half way built by the time he knew the garage was a work shop.” Jason continued, “Supporting this division of racing is very rewarding. I know what it is like showing up to a race and using your last couple hundred dollars for an entry fee. Hopefully this will help the Sportsman racers and everyone can support DRIVE to help develop relations with the Imperial Valley and the authorities that police our OHV lands.”

The FiberwerX WCT Townsel Memorial Night Race will be held on September 18th in Plaster City West.

What is WCT Townsel?

On Saturday morning May 16, 2009, Wes Townsel with his two sons, Cody 10 and Tanner 5, left his wife Jenifer and daughter Hailey at home. They were headed out to go fishing on the East Highline Canal, a normal trip where they had been countless times before, but this time they would not be coming home. As Wes was driving his sons to the canal they were involved in a tragic accident that took all three of their lives. Not only did this accident leave Jenifer with the unimaginable heartache of losing all three of her boys at once, but it also left her with the burden of having to pay for the services to put them to rest.

Wes and his family are close friends of Larry Cox and his wife Tracy. Most of you know that Larry and Tracy are dedicated volunteers of DRIVE. Larry spends countless hours in the desert with me looking for new courses and Tracy is an important part of our timing team. Wes was also a friend to the off roading community here in Imperial Valley. We named this race after Wes, Cody, and Tanner to give back to the Cox Family, the Townsels, and to the Imperial Valley Community.

If my truck is still running, I'm going to do both....my favorite race of the year last year was the DRIVE Night Race...no joke. Us Northern MDR racers have never raced a course like a DRIVE race course....when we were prerunning I couldn't believe I was driving on actual, natural desert terrain, I wondered what they did with all the whoops? It was nice, very nice...washes, lake beds, lines that were never lines before...it was a blast.

suprised there isnt more people pumped on this one.. how often do you get to race in a bitchen desert for free?

This should work into our schedule if the summer project is done by then!!

Such a sad story.....

We will try our best to make it out for this one. Awesome deal from DRIVE and Fiberwerx

I will definetlly be there

I am going to try and make this. seems like it will be a good one, and it will be my first race!

Definitely going to shoot for it, thanks Fiberwerx.

Screw you and your free racing! I am putting this on my calendar but it won't be free so I don't know if I can swing it. My team races two weeks after this race and I get married the week after that. Such is life right!

I have an idea, Adam, if you win the free entry, pay mine!
