Rockford Speedway/NSTC PR
LOVES PARK, IL (Friday, September 30, 2011) – It was a wild night of racing action to open the 46th Annual National Short Track Championships at the Rockford Speedway. Bobby Wilberg, Rich Hinerichsen Jr., George Sparkman, Kris Nilson, Bryce Bailey and Dennis Smith Jr. all took home a feature win.
Bobby Wilberg held off Jon Reynolds Jr. to win the Stanley Steemer 36 Weekly Warrior Late Model feature. It was a great tight battle as the top-four were nose-to-tail throughout the second half of the main event. The seven-time track champion showed he knew his way around the famous quarter-mile oval as Reynolds would try many times to get on the inside of Wilberg to contest for the top spot. Ryan Carlson and Jerry Gille were right behind the top-two giving the fans an exciting battle to the checkered flag.
It was a wild Metro Medical 40 for the All-American Sportsman. Rich Hinerichsen II took the victory over Chris Gantz and Austin Nason. Hinerichsen took over the lead over from Brian Turtle on lap 19. He appeared that he was going to get a late challenge from Matt Berger and Matt Lundberg. Those two were battling for second, with eleven laps to go when they both got together on the backstretch causing them both to go into the outside wall. Berger went off on the flatbed while Lundberg rejoined at the back of the field. Hinerichsen led the field to the final ten laps uncontested to the win.
Two scary incidents occurred during the Metro Medical 40 event. The first came on lap five when Bobby Wilberg spun in turn four with a fire in his engine area. He was able to walk away but was done for the night. Then on lap 29, Josh Thiering went up in flames while going down the backstretch. The safety crew was able to put out the fire and Thiering was all right but was also done for the night.
George Sparkman picked up another NSTC American Short Tracker feature win. Sparkman would take over the lead with 13 laps to go as he got by Scott Hoeft for the top spot. Hoeft would hold on to second while Kyle Stark would finish third.
Kris Nilson won the O'Reilly Auto Parts 20 Road Runner feature after the top two, Bobby Frisch and Dana Czach, failed the post-race inspection. Frisch took over the top spot from Lloyd Hawkins early in the event. Czach and Nilson came through the field to challenge with five laps to go. The top-three put on a great battle with Frisch holding on to the win on the track. But, after inspection it was Nilson taking home the NSTC trophy.
Bryce Bailey came through the field and passed Heather Stark with five laps to go to win the Marden Tire 20-lap Hornet Bandit Challenge feature event. Tyler Whalen came through to finish second with Kyle Stark in third.
Dennis Smith Jr. made a great last lap pass on Josh Thiering to win the Tractor Town 12-lap Figure-8 feature event. Smith came off the final corner and it was a drag race to the finish line with Smith taking the checkers.
Saturday's action for the 46th Annual National Short Track Championships will get underway at 2:15pm on Saturday with Nason's Landscaping "Faster Than A Speeding Bullet" qualifying for the ASA Midwest Tour Super Late Models, Big 8 Series Late Models, ASA Midwest Sportsman Tour, and the Illini Midgets.

Hey Guys, just wanted to let you know I am working 8 days straight at my "day job" so I won't have a lot of time to Email back and forth. I received approximately 25 Emails in the last day or two and I'll respond as soon as I can (may take a couple of days). In the meantime I am working on packages but haven't updated GYROS yet. I'm working as fast as I can Thanks. Keep this in mind and I'll get back to you shortly. Talk to you all soon!
Tx for the update Goomba, still waiting for a reply from my email to you on march 12, hope to hear from you soon.

I'm going to be temporarily removing the GFC Forums that we had on the site due to the fact that the client is pretty buggy and easily taken over by spammers (they really ruin everything, don't they?). Instead I'll simply be linking to this thread here. So if you click the "GFC Forums" button on the site and end up here, now you know why Thanks guys.
Also, I'm officially launching GFC Premium next month so anyone that took part in the BETA, I appreciate it. I didn't get a whole lot of support, but that's alright because I think once it's on the website and clearly explained it'll be easier to access and to understand. I'll be working on some logos, site descriptions and signup pages over the next couple of weeks. In the meantime I'll focus on shipping out existing orders and cleaning up some other site code. Thanks guys!

gsrce, I didn't get your Email =P Feel free to send an Email to goomba478 AT gmail DOT com. That should work. Sorry man, hope to hear from you soon. Or feel free to write in this thread.
The email was just me being confused about the shipping cost for what you shipped to the hotel for me. I kind of understand why it cost so much due to the weight of the books, but I felt it probably could have been cheaper if you'd have just used a couple of priority mail flat rate boxes instead.
I just wasn't expecting you to have to spend $40-$50 on shipping, I was hoping for you to at least have $30+ left in credit after you shipped that stuff to me. I guess the money I'm thinking is missing is from service charges and not from shipping?
I guess not having a breakdown of the costs involved just made me confused about where all the money went. (Since you don't really send me invoices anymore =p) I just wanted some clarification, I'm not upset or anything, was just confused.
In other news, Lego is on sale at TRU. Not sure if you'd be able to stop by a store to pick some up for me or not? Or if your schedule is too busy over the next week?

LOL, only you would space on free "publicity".

Posted 26 March 2012 - 10:52 PM
JamesX, I didn't get your Email. I can ship whenever you're ready. I assume you want to go the UPS Route? Let me know. Thanks!

My question is , what is the membership option? based on my order history would it be worth it for me? email me directly if you want
Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:06 PM
The Membership option is this. You can pay either $10 a month or $100 a year for "GFC Premium Membership". This gives you $1.00 flat rate on all items (plus the usual shipping and weight charges). If you order more than 5 items a month, it's worth it. Or if you go with the yearly membership if you buy more than 20 items a year it's worth it. In my opinion, yes it'd be worth it for you but I'm leaving it entirely optional. There are other promotions available only to GFC Premium members as well and other non-mentioned benefits as well.
We'll be launching it officially this month. More details to come (I'm still reworking the site a lot and recoding a bunch). Keep an eye out for my next post as it's relevant to your question .
Posted 02 April 2012 - 07:11 PM
GFC Will be going dark for non-premium (aka "Free") Members starting on 04/15/2012 as we launch our official GFC Premium Membership program. What this means is that if you're not a GFC Premium member, you will be unable to place a new Direct Request (DR) or Package Forwarding (PF) order with us between 04/15/2012 - 05/15/2012.
The reason for this is not to shun free members, but rather to lessen the amount of orders we process during this time so we can truly rework the site and make necessary enhancements for both free and paid members. It'll also be an incentive to those who have joined as traditionally we'd just close the site down to everyone. This way if you're a premium member, your services will go uninterrupted as it'd be unfair to paid members. Free members have plenty of warning to put in an order now to get it in time before the month-long shut down. Also, all existing orders past and present will still be processed so it will have no effect on existing orders (other than the fact that we'll have more time to process them and get rid of any backlogged orders).
To make it fair to you guys we're even going to offer a launch-week FREE TRIAL of GFC Premium so you can join for free for one week, try out our services and place orders even though the site will be in lockdown mode. This will be my thank you to you for supporting me, while also limiting the number of orders as we retool the site.
Feel free to ask any questions. I'll be processing existing orders without any stop in service. New GYROS update today and tomorrow for the 16 unlisted orders on the site. Thanks guys, we appreciate your support!

Why doesn't Lulu have reviews and press interests like other publishing houses?
Is it difficult for Lulu to get attention since it's "self-publishing" kind of thing and reviews may happen if one has to pay for it ...
Hi not really... It seems like you get a review in a newspaper if you pay for it etc. It doesn't work that way in Europe as far as I know but seems like it works this way with Lulu.

I am a Craftsman Tool fan for many years and I was thrilled to see this offer. I recently realized that my currently owned Craftsman screwdriver set had diminished over the years from friends and family who borrowed them and then forgot to return them. Jumped at the chance to obtain such a diverse set of screwdrivers with the Craftsman brand at such a reasonable price. A must have for any tool box!

The only one I have a problem with is the #2 phillips, once in awhile the tip doesn't stay in the screw slot, don't know if it's the screws or the screwdriver. I've used most of the screwdrivers in this set and a few rarely. i don't like to have stuff I don't use so I'd rather pay a little more and just buy a smaller set or individual ones I use more rather than buy a set for cheaper price.

My hubby has a full mechanics tool box full of Craftsman tools and I'm always stealing his screwdrivers to use. I decided to finally buy a set for my own tool box since he sometimes has to take his tools with him. Then I cant steel them from him. Enough is enough. Now I have my own set. They have always been great, they don't wear down like a bunch of cheap ones I have made in China that have twisted or even broken off.

President Obama wants Congress to overhaul immigration law. He's right.
problem is there's a political stalemate over our dysfunctional
immigration system. There has been since the failure of the 1986
Immigration Reform and Control Act.
Back then, with less than 2 million illegal immigrants, a three point law made sense.
those here, control the border to prevent further illegal immigration,
and sanction employers who hired illegal immigrants. Problem solved.
after 1986 we got the amnesty but the border remained open and
employers were never sanctioned for hiring illegal immigrants.
The result was a flood of illegal immigrants estimated today to number between 11 and 15 million.
2007, the McCain/Kennedy immigration "reform" bill was endorsed by many
Democrat and Republican Senators and was strongly endorsed by President
George Bush.
McCain/Kennedy bill was a transparent repeat of the mistakes of the
1986 immigration reform. Amnesty would certainly happen, but border
security and requiring employers to hire only citizens and legal
migrants would not.
That year, I helped organize opposition to the bill.
led forty two radio talk show hosts from around the country. We
broadcast from Washington D.C. and mobilized tens of thousands of
listeners to overwhelm the Capitol Hill phone system and fill the email
in-boxes of Congress members and their staff urging a no vote.
Bush White House was confident of victory. One official told me "see
you at the bill signing ceremony". When it came to the floor, the bill
was defeated in the Senate by a vote of 34-61.
But since then the problem has gotten worse. Our immigration law is riddled with bad policy.
example, a yearly worldwide lottery grants a U.S. visa to lucky
foreigners who would never qualify under any rational criteria for
issuing visas. "Family re-unification" has resulted in one legal
immigrant bringing in dozens of relatives, however distant in relation.
are too often more dangerous to the U.S. than in danger in their home
country. "Students" get visas to study in the U.S. and may never enter a
classroom. Several of the 9/11 hijackers had "student" visas.
many immigrants get Social Security disability checks without ever
contributing a dime and (despite legal prohibitions) wind up on multiple
welfare programs.
immigration laws have lost the common sense they had when my maternal
grandmother came in steerage on a freighter from Italy to New York.
on Ellis Island, she was checked for disease, fingerprinted, had to
name a sponsor who would be responsible for her behavior, and had to
promise not to become a "public charge" (i.e. not on welfare).
an afternoon, she was found fit to immigrate to the U.S. and was
admitted. Within a year, she was married, working, and had started a
What happened to that common sense immigration law? It has been replaced over the years by a labyrinth of legal dysfunction..
how to break the stalemate? Here are a few ideas (taken from both
Democrat and Republican sources) which would produce real immigration
Future legal immigration should be based on merit. No more lottery winners, deadbeats or jihadis.
immigrants who are already here should be encouraged to apply for legal
status, including citizenship, which should be granted if they are
employed, pay their taxes, are not a "public charge" and have no
criminal record.
Those who meet the criteria—welcome. Those who don't or won't—go home.
And it's way past time to close the door on future illegal immigration.
Federal law currently requires that only citizens or non-citizens with work visas can be employed in the United States.
should be required to use E-Verify, a federal database which allows
employers to instantly check whether the name and Social Security number
of the employee or job applicant match.
Too many illegal immigrants today are using fake Social Security cards with stolen identities to get hired here.
The President wants E-Verify for new hires. Good, but not good enough.
should be applied to all workers and job applicants especially now
during high unemployment to make sure only those legally entitled to
work in the U.S. get jobs.
are just a few ideas. The important point is that our immigration law
is broken. It neither protects the immigrant nor the country.
is the year that the President and our dysfunctional Congress
(reportedly less popular than cockroaches and colonoscopies) must enact
real immigration reform, not a rehash of the 1986 failure.
