Western Allstars Membership

Western Allstars Membership

The Western Allstars will be charging a $100 membership for the 2007 race season. To be eligible for the points fund, year-end race car and race shop give away you must be a member. The $35.00 nightly entry fee will be waved the night you join and due to the expenses of 3 races in 3 days to start out season no membership will be expected until the March 31st race at Kings Speedway.

I know some of you may not like the idea of a membership, but to run the series the way it needs to be run and offer all that we do, I really have no choice. I feel that waving the nightly entry fee for that night which makes the membership $65, and not expecting it to be paid until after the opening weekend is as fair as I can be. I truly wish I could just find a large enough sponsor, so I didn’t even have to charge an entry fee per race.

Entry fee’s for all WAS events except Las Vegas and Ely will be $35.00 and $50.00 for the Gary Jacob Memorial at Kings Speedway on June 30th.

Thanks for your understanding. I really am working my tail off for you guys.




Thank You,


Chris Kearns
