11/28/05 SPECIAL THANK YOU
Paul Shafer Motorsports would like to thank the following people for their services in judging the World Finals Freestyle in Deland Fl. A job well done by all. With lots of comments and calls stating that the judging was by far the fairest and best done by all.

Bill & Frances Giddens Tech Inspector for Eastbay Raceway-- Tampa FL

Dave Heyden, Mark & Ann Taylor, Montgomery County Fair Motorsports
Committee, Gaithersburg, Md.

Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy Meyers. Director of AMSOIL RACING.

11/24/05 LOOKING GOOD IN 2005!
With what seems to have been a successful year for a lot of state and county fairs, the recall of dates by many fairs and speedways in already in progress. “Lots of the fairs are already booking back their dates early this year” says Bobby Paul of Shafer Motorsports. “A lot of new fairs are interested and inquiring about our show and dates as well”. Their main concern is Insurance and the full coverage that we provide.
We have the full coverage as a lot of the others do not carry the full coverage program. This is a good indication that our motorsports will be busy in 06.
With the addition and formation of “ARMA” American Racing Mower Association, a new Lawn Mower Racing group formed by Paul Shafer Motorsports to promote the sport of Lawn Mower Racing, has really taken off in leaps and bounds.
Our Special Thanks to Jeremy Meyer and AMSOIL for coming on board in 2005, as the feature sponsor of Paul Shafer Motorsports.
Lots of new and exciting things are being planned for the 2006 Tour.
