SPEC RACER: Larry Mason to Race at Buttonwillow After 2 Yr. Hiatus

13 October 2000

A current track record holder in SRF, Larry Mason is no stranger to
Buttonwillow, however it’s been two years since he’s raced there and
never on this course configuration. Mason will be competing in a white
SRF (car #3) out of the Competition Express stables.

Mason has never driven for Comp/EX before, but has admired their clean
set-up for many years. "T.J. Acker has won numerous races for Comp/EX
and has set multiple track records. I'm looking forward to my first
racing experience with them. They've treated my protégé Brad Bernstein
very well so hopefully I can reward the team with a victory or two!

I’ll have two chances to get the job done as it’s a double regional race
weekend,” said an enthusiastic Mason.

Of special note, Mason will be racing to bring awareness to the Positive
Vibrations Youth Mentoring Program. A number of kids from this program
are expected to attend their very first race and to cheer Larry on to
victory!

The race weekend schedule is as follows:
Saturday & Sunday Note times are approximate

Practice 9:00 a.m.
Qualifying 10:30 a.m.
RACE (30 min.) 2:30 p.m.
