The Red Bluff Outlaws' series are very special to the entire Carrel family.  They were the original inventors and promoters of the sport.  It is a sport that spread like wildfire across the country with new tracks popping up in every state and region, and is now spreading to Canada, Australia and Europe.  Robert's father Bob Carrel, along with friends and family began racing go-karts on dirt during the off season of stockcar racing.    The sport grew rapidly into an local institution that has seen over 5,000 racers and their families and friend become involved with.  The high tech karts appeal to anyone who loves fast, close racing.  Kids as young as 5 years old up to people over 60 show up each week to race the series.  The largest karts can clock over 70mph on the 1/10th mile oval dirt track.  And for all their speed and action are amazingly safe, thanks to Bob and Robert Carrel who created QRC Karts - the premier manufacturer of outlaw karts.  Their passion for the sport shows in their dedication to the safety of the drivers and their focus to make this a family sport.

With the success of QRC Karts Robert has now ventured into his other passion, motorcycles, by opening  Red Bluff Yamaha this year.  The beautiful new showroom carries everything Yamaha - from dirt bikes to road and touring bikes to ATVs both utility and sport and racing models.  Plus they have a complete parts and service department.   Robert invited 2 members of his Red Bluff Yamaha Motocross Team down to Saturday's events to sign autographs and meet the other racers.  Robert Noftz and Garrett Jones handed out hero cards, signed autographs and helped present the trophies to the winners of the evening's races.

There are six racing division that run qualifying laps to determine placement in heat races which are then used to determine starting positions in the main events all which lead up to the A Main Feature Event in each division.  More than 150 racers turned out to compete for the 6 5ft. tall Perpetual Trophies, and they put on a demonstration of some of the best racing in years, proving why so many racers who started competing have gone on to be some of the top names in racing of all kinds.  From the ranks have come NASCAR stars, World of Outlaw stars, USAC, BCRA, and others.  In fact, it was NASCAR driver Ryan Foster how took home the Perpetual Trophy for the Open 500 Division - the premier class of the sport.

During the winter Foster, like so many other racers who compete nationally, return to their roots of Outlaw Kart racing to keep in shape and hone their driving skills. The experience they gain at this tight bullring track can be carried to nearly any other racing where it will prove invaluable. 

A rundown of the winners shows the diversity of racers and how far people travel to participate every week for so many years.

FOSTER – BACK TO BASICS FOR ALTAMONT
This weekend RCR Development Driver Ryan Foster is headed back to one of his favorite tracks to run the season finale for the NASCAR Grand National West Series. Since the dissolution of his partnership with GGRT the young gun has been working relentlessly to ready a car and team to run the final events of the season.

H.U.R., or Heads Up Racing Performance Engines, has become an important part of that team. The company crafts cutting edge engines for circle track cars, dragsters, historic cup cars, drag boats, and more. The owners were impressed enough with Foster’s driving talents that they pledged him a new motor early on in the season. Consequently H.U.R. has become the primary sponsor for Foster going into event. "H.U.R. Engines has been working on getting a motor together for me for quite some time and I'm very excited that we can show off their expertise at one of my favorite tracks." Said Foster.

"Altamont was the first place I ever ran a late model tour car and I have always loved the track." The 83 acre facility features one of the best circuits and surfaces for the Grand National cars. "I had some major equipment failures back in April when we last ran Altamont. We were running really well but after suffering 3 flat tires its kind of hard to come back from being that far behind.” Recalled Foster.

Another key player in the effort is Junior Joiner – shock and setup expert. “Joiner has been helping me since my first late model experience. I’m very grateful to him for devoting his talents to getting me back on the track. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to be in the pits this weekend because of his commitment to the Craftsman Truck Series race the same day. But I’m intending to take his setup to victory circle.” Said an energetic Foster.

Also responsible for Foster’s ride this weekend is Silva Racing. “Stan Silva has been extremely generous. We will be running the #65 car and working on it out of their shop. A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to test the car and motor with the whole team. We really worked well together – gelled. Silva’s crew really knows what they are doing, and we get along great ... They have my attitude: they just want to win!!!” Ryan is especially dedicated to a top finish in this race as a way to honor Stan’s father who passed away just recently.

“I am so excited about getting another chance to prove that RCR has picked the right driver for their developmental program. We have had so much support from so many people, and I am so thankful to all of them for helping me get this together on such short notice and I know we will have a good showing for all their effort.”

The race will be aired on HD NET and SPEED TV For more information visit www.FosterMotorsports.com

Foster Top Finish Foiled by Tire Trouble
May 2, 2007 – Anderson, CA
Ryan Foster's return to Altamont this past weekend had every possibility of being his strongest finish in the Grand National Series, but tire problems brought the promise of a top five finish to an abrupt end. Altamont, one of Foster's favorite tracks, was mired in record breaking heat which made racing physically harder and car setup more challenging than usual. Infamous for hot days and cool windy evenings the 1/2 mile oval can be a crapshoot when it comes to getting the setup right so that qualifying on hot pavement will balance out with a long night of laps on cooler surfaces. It seems that the Golden Gate Team had done well. Despite garnering a disappointing 10th place qualifying time in car that car that was loose, Foster and the crew knew that at as the sun set conditions would tighten the car up to be a strong contender.
