We still run them at P'boro. We do all right. I wouldn't get in a few of them but a lot of them are pretty decent little cars. Most have belts and seats like "real" race cars. Some of us moonlight in the minis at other tracks with our 4fun cars. Just got to get away from them Pete and KW DOHC rockets.

Well Pops, your opinion is why the class was shut down and why there are the concerns over the safety. Though beyond the safety concerns, I was more getting at the fun times that we had with the series, despite the problems.

Sunset Informative To Pay Tribute To Four Fun Division
News Release - May 3, 2011

Through the last decade, there was one series at Sunset Speedway (and other tracks) that stood out amongst many drivers and fans alike.

The Four Fun Series ran at Sunset Speedway from ____ to 2009 as a starter series for drivers to get into. The entry cost was cheap and the cars weren't allowed to get too far advanced so it was a good class for rookies.

"I remember watching drivers enter the division who had no experience but wanted to have fun with racing," Sunset Informative owner Ashley McCubbin recall.

The series was shut down at the end of the 2008 season due to safety concerns that had grown throughout the previous years.

This series is one that will always remain as part of track history and is why the Sunset Informative staff wants to have a spot for it on their site.

"Bill Campbell came to me and said that there were drivers wondering if a section like this would be done," Ashley said. "I spoke back saying that it had been thought of, though nothing was noted as being absolutely 100%. Though with the spark of interest that he had seen and my own personal thoughts, I thought it'd be a good project to persue and one that'd be interesting to see how far it would go."

In developing the new section of Sunset Informative, she says that she will need help from drivers and fans a like on content.

"I have an entire history load of stuff from 2008, though nothing much beyond that," she said. "I am hoping that in pulling drivers and fans together, they can help make this a neat section of the site."

Ashley is requesting that if any fans or drivers have any stories or comments on the series, along with facts and pictures, to please send them to her via facebook or e-mail them to her at sunsetinformative@yahoo.com so they can be added to the site.

  Can't remember any serious injury that happened as the result of the division, and many a night I've seen 30 plus 4 fun cars run flag to flag without cautions, in what was the most entertaining race of the night......

Pops only thing assinine here is your post.....maybe if you need to look away from the track you should take up knitting, that should be plenty safe for ya

2 instances I recall watching this when an un named promoter was involved was (I think his name was Goodall, but dont quote me) got T-Boned in corner 1 (He was in a blue cavalier, the old Brendan Doherty car I believe?) and was injured to the point where they had to help extracate him and the race was red flagged for almost an hour, to the point where said promoter said loud enough by the pit fence where a bunch of us had come to see the accident, to "Hook up to it and drag him and the car to the parking lot"?. The second incident was (and I am not positive if this was an embellishment or for real) when the 31, I believe it was Amanda Gordon got into a wreck, jumped out of her car to run after the car that wrecked her, dropped to the ground mid sprint as if she fainted causing emergency personel to spring into action, and while being looked at she then sprang into action again only to stop and walk up into the stands and walk back to the pits with an entourage?

My personal opinion was and still is, a bad idea, great profit dollar wise, but safety was non existant. Some of the cars I saw up close were scary to the point where I would feel safer driving my street car in the race with no cage. Just like any other class, it got out of hand where guys were getting their head done, putting cams in, K&N filters, underdrive pulley's, computers, etc... It was going places it shouldnt have been going. As far as I am concerned, racing seats and racing belts are a must no matter what the division and they said the racing seats were a performance advantage as it was told to Brendan Doherty?

For a business man looking at only profit...2 thumbs up. Somebody with a conscience...2 thumbs down.

As far as entertaining, I am not with you on that, I am a Late Model fan and I used the 4 fun races for a washroom break, make adjustments on my car, etc....

Just my personal opinion

Lol an unnamed promoter....what a diplomat! Would that be the one who filled the pits after pops emptied them???  Jr once again can't help but to lie and bash someone who isn't around to call your bs  Nice classy move
again by slaughter Jr.  Surprise surprise....
