Scheduled guests...


Pat Dotson.. a mechanical engineer by training with a degree from Purdue University, Pat works in the automotive industry designing sensors for airbag and stability control systems. His real racing experience includes five years of kart racing.
He been 'playing' with racing simulators for over 15 years, beginning with the very first '3D' virtual racing simulations that appeared for personal computers. Pat has helped test racing simulator products and software for several different companies.

Ultraforce Simulators, is owned by Pat and based in Kokomo. The mission of Ultraforce is to bring a more realistic driving experience to racing simulators. The initial product line is based around 'G-Seat' technology, which is basically a force feedback seat. The seat delivers 'seat of the pants' feedback from racing simulator software to the driver. The G-Seat technology also works with flight simulators.
The racing organization that Pat is currently involved in is called 'Race2Play'. Their web site is www.race2play.com. They are the official online racing division of the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), and conduct online race events under NASA regulations where applicable to sim racing.

Lee Beard.. one of the very best tuners in NHRA and the Chief Tuner for David Powers Motorsports Top Fuel team. The two drivers are "Hot Rod" Fuller and moving from the Nitro-Funny Car ranks is Whit Bazemore.
After much off season testing David Powers Motosports did well in the season opening event in Pamona this past weekend. Qualifying 7th Whit won his first round in Top Fuel by beating Cory Mac while "Hot Rod", who qualified 2nd, took on and beat Don Herbert to also advance to the 2nd round.
As luck would have it the teamates when up against each other and "Hot Rod" got Whit by 0.0189 or approximately 9 feet at the finish.

Another guest could possibly be announced shortly.

With cooperation from Mother nature Autosport 2007 look forward to returning Tuesday after missing two weeks due to the weather.

We'll see you at McGilvery's Speedway.. "your place for sports.."
