Speedy takes a look at the upcoming 2008 season in Lucky Dog Racing.


Well folks, it’s getting very close to green flag at Daytona once again! I'm ready and I'm sure I'm not alone. We have many changes at Lucky Dog this year and wanted to make everyone familiar with them if you’re not already.


First off, we would like to welcome and congratulate Earl Arnold and Terry Howell (Arnold MotorSports and Ampracing88) into the mix at Lucky Dog's Cup league! These guys are the only rookies this year so it should be easy for league drivers to keep up with the ROTY race!


We welcome them into the mix of the internet's most prestigious racing series! Good luck guys!


This season we will be running the LROC league as usual! At this time we would also welcome the FASCAR racing league into that mix. They will join P-10 Select and Lucky Dog racers this year for the first time. The format is a little different this year as well and should be more familiar to those fortunate enough to have made to cut. Wendal, we welcome you and thank P-10 for returning and giving us a shot at redemption this year. We have every intent of taking home the crown this year and with FASCAR now in the mix things should be exciting!!


Lucky Dog also introduces "team racing" this year! We're not really sure how this will work out for individual stats yet so it may require some tweaking in the off season, but its way to early to go there just yet!


Another change will be in the scoring system! Nothing major but there is sure to be less ties and more separation this year. Whew!!


Man, I'm spent just covering these few changes already! Should be a rock 'em sock 'em at Lucky Dog for sure! Again, want to thank FASCAR, P-10 Select for joining LROC, welcome to the rookies and just plain glad all of you have returned again. I will be doing "ramblings" thru out the year so if anyone wants to give a shout out on something let me know. My email address is on site. Don't be shy. One last thing... I would personally like to thank Lou, our beloved Prez, for making all this possible. He puts a lot of time into this that could otherwise be spent with his family. (thanks Gwen) Without Lou this would not be possible. Thanks Lou. Must thank Matt Sealy as well as he is Lou's right-hand man and puts time into this as well. Let’s not forget Nathan Helton either! He helps Lou design a lot of the cars and does an exceptional job!


Well my following "ramblings" will be shorter. Had a lot of ground to cover here! Whew!


Good luck to all our Cup drivers this year! You are competing against the best of the best!


Your friend and council member Speed Demon Racing.
