Award’s Banquet set for Saturday, November 21st

We’ll be hosting the 42nd edition of the Firebird Award’s Banquet on Saturday night, November 21st, at the beautiful DoubleTree Riverside in Boise. For many, it’ll give everyone an opportunity to get together and celebrate one final time the 2009 Firebird race season before the holidays.

All of us are very excited to bring you our season closing award’s presentation. The Banquet is taking place at the DoubleTree Riverside located right on the Boise River off Chinden Blvd. Champions will be crowned in everything from Super Pro to Street Bike, Sportsman to the three Club season team victors, and all classes in between.

In addition, we’ll be celebrating Firebird’s sixth team championship from this year’s Summit E.T. Finals at Woodburn. Division 6 Director Jonathan Adams will be attending this year’s Banquet. He will be presenting all 54 of the Firebird racers (who competed on this year’s Six-Pack Attack team) a special embroidered jacket.

With the season now concluded, it gives many a chance to take a breather. For us, the pace turns up another notch or two as preparations are already underway for the 2010 Season.

We're really looking forward to seeing everyone at the Banquet. Do remember that tickets are only available for advance purchase and no tickets or admittance is permitted without pre-purchasing a ticket for the evening (including the cocktail hour, dinner, and presentations).

Until then, take care.
