September 3, 2008 For those of you that are running the FAS and the UAS next year in 2009 please pay attention to the new UAS rule changes. Those changes that they have decided to implement will not be implemented next year in the Florida All-Star Series. All rules will remain the same in the FAS as they are now so don't go into panic mode wondering what we are going to do. I for one do not believe in the constant turmoil caused by changing the rules year after year unless it is in regards to safety. As most of you know, there are no voting rights here. This is not run by committee nor will it ever be. It is not democratic it is a dictatorship. Its worked that way for the past 8 years and will continue to do so. For those wondering about the Christmas in Dixie event the FAS rules will be applied even though we attract a considerable number of UAS members I will not compromise the FAS rules. I have indicated in past conversations that I am willing to try a 255cc single cylinder 2 stroke engine and/or a 505cc single cylinder 4 stroke engine however only on an exhibition basis for now. August 31, 2008 This front page is probably going to start looking like a personal blog if I keep typing my thoughts up here but hell I own the website so why not..Most of you already know what my new business start-up is but for those that don't I'm going to shamelessly plug it here on this site. This new business is "Firearms Training" and one of the reasons behind the retirement from the FAS. Most training will probably start out being held on weekends in order to get the business up and running as most people are off on weekends. As the business grows I'll start holding classes during the week and during regular working hours. If, and that is a big if, the business takes off within the next few months then I will consider coming back next year. These are some of the things talked about during the drivers meeting this weekend and in the FKA Hauler with their officials. The new website is up and running and training classes will begin sometime in October. For those wishing to obtain there Concealed Carry License or just want to further their knowledge of firearms and self defense tactics please call or email for more details. In the meantime you can pay a visit to www.Terry-Hall.org for a substantial amount of information to help you decide if its something you would like to do.
August 30th Race #6 at Dirt Devils Speedway, Land O'Lakes Florida We didn't get the race in as we got rained out. We still managed 2 rounds of practice and I guess you could say we came within 5 laps of qualifying to actually determining a winner. Oh well it is afterall summertime in Florida and it is Hurricane Season. By the way just to let ya'll know, I did get called to the FKA Trailer and got beat up by Jimmy Sims and others about my pending retirement..more news on that to follow. Retirement Notice At the conclusion of this years racing with the
Florida All-Stars/FKA I’ve decided to step down and retire from
organized kart racing. I’ll
still maintain my Twin Yami/Apache and
hope in the near future to get back to having some fun in the seat again.
Mostly just some local Saturday night gigs. No points, no trophies just
get out there and bang some bars with friends. It’s been a fantastic
last 8 years. What I will cherish the most is all the friendships and
memories given to me from so many all over the country. What will happen to the Florida All-Stars/Dogpound?
They’ll still be around. After many private conversations with
several of the “Dogs” to make them aware of
my decision I feel strongly someone will step up to the plate and
be the next leader. If not? Well then I guess we will just fade off into
the sunset. It’s been one helluva ride!! The reason for this announcement at this time is to
give those who wish to see this series continue to grow and prosper,
a chance to discuss amongst themselves what direction they wish to
go and how to approach the 2009 season. I will not appoint one nor will I
try to influence their decision one way or the other. Reasons for retirement: To be honest, it has become a
job for me. I created it, I take full responsibility, I made those
decisions and I’ll live with them. At this time I will be embarking in a
new business startup, and a new career. How much time and energy I will
have to devote to racing is still yet unknown as most business owners
understand that you never own the business it owns you. It wouldn’t be
fair for me to continue and not devote the time and energy as I have in
the past. There are other personal factors that have brought me to this
decision however those will remain private. I want to thank all of you who have participated with
us over the last 8-9 years for providing
me with so many great times and allowing me to be a part of your lives.
There are so many racers, sponsors and friends that I wish to express my
gratitude to that I’m afraid to list them for fear of leaving someone
out. You know who you are, thank you.
I wish all of you much success. Yours in Racing Terry (HotDog) Hall
