Hondo Classic This Weekend

Tribute Slated for July 1st at Fonda Speedway

On Saturday July 1, when the pro stock field takes over the track it
will be in tribute to fan favorite Hondo Carpenter.  The event
commemorates Hondo's last race at the Track of Champions in the #9
car.

The Hondo Classic, a 20 lap main event will pay extra dividends to the
whole field.  In addition to the usual purse, the winner will receive a
$199.00 bonus, donated by Mayhem Motorsports and Speedzone.  Second
place will receive a $99.00 bonus from Kristel's Lodge.  The bonus
money then filters down by $10 increments.  Those finishing 11th or
worse will receive a $9 bonus.  Already this season, the 9th place pro
stock each week receives $25 in Hondo's memory and this night is no
exception.  The 9th place car will receive an extra $29 plus the $25. 
The top 3 finishers will receive special trophies for the event.

In addition, there will be a raffle for a Stiletto Chopper bike, valued
at $300 donated by All Seasons Motorsports.  Tickets will be sold at
3/$5.00.  Proceeds will benefit "The Friends of Hondo Memorial
Society", a fund established to continue bonuses in Hondo's name.

Kids in attendance will also have the opportunity to win one of 9 bikes
or 9 helmets in a free drawing.  Make sure you pick up your raffle
ticket at the gate.

Other sponsors for the event so far are AFGD Glass (Hondo's
employer), Roger and Cindy Steele, Winner's Circle Restaurant, Mark
Krosky, Bobco Racing Video, Carman Auto Body, Stone Racing, RCT Roofing,
Rocket Time Websites, Fabco Landscaping, Kaitlyn Keefe and The Horning
