ROCKY NEWS
Year four looks to be another big year for the Rocky Mountain Floppers! With a full slate of races across Western Canada, a new major sponsor, a new Entertainment Director and the BIG NEWS - a NEW INDEX, 2013 is shaping up to be a fantastic race season. Yes, that's right, a new index! The Rocky gang is stepping up to a 6.90 index. The plan is to have an all 6-second field at over 200 mph.
This year, we welcome Big West Dodge of Drayton Valley, AB as our new major sponsor. Big West will be the title sponsor - the BIG WEST TOUR 2013. Returning sponsors include Trail Tire/Mickey Thompson Tires, Jet Tools and Good Vibrations Motorsports. As always, thank you to all of our sponsors - we appreciate your support!
The Rocky Mountain Funny Car group has not only been recognized for great quality cars and close, side-by-side racing, but also for the fun and entertainment we bring to the race track. Well the fun continues this year - thanks to our new Entertainment Director, Nancy James. Nancy will be bringing the energy and enthusiasm for racing that we've had in the past along again this year, with great music, backup girls, give-aways and more

Big news from the Rocky Executive as they have signed their second major sponsor. Trail Tire is a Major sponsor that hands out a pair of Slick to the winner at every points race. Big West Dodge in Drayton Valley as now also stepped up to their points series by rewarding cash to the winner in each points race. The points series will now be called the"Big West Tour". They are hoping to announce a few more races tot heir schedule as well and are looking at potential new sponsors as well. Lots of news in the next couple weeks, stay tuned.

Jimmy Fersch has taken to the Rocky Mountain Funny Car assoc. in a big way. After joining the assoc last year with his new Dodge Cuda, he had an eventful year including a crash at the Eagle Motorplex the end of June. Undaunted by the incident, he got a new body and had the car back on the track by the middle of August and ran career numbers (6.70's) and even went to the Hot Rod Reunion. This year he is even more serious with a commitment to the assoc by way of major sponsorship. That guarantees a couple more events on the schedule. The assoc. is over a dozen cars strong and is growing every year. They are not far away from having 16 cars in the class.
