Re: Tell us your best......
Going several rounds at the end of the season at Galot, ZMAX, and Rockingham divisional and the Moser shootout. Looking forward to 2020.

Re: Tell us your best......
Best day would be the National Open at Bandimere in May. Since the Skyhawk hadn`t been off the trailer since October I ran the test day Friday. On Saturday after a dead-0 run in the quarters and a semi final bye, I made the final in the Stock/Super Stock Combo against Don Morris` Classic Mopar. Unfortunately Mother Nature prevented the final from happening in front of 15,000 spectators, but it was still a helluva day!

Going to Tuscon for the first time with my good friend Ashton Hudson. Really enjoyed our time in Tuscon.

Re: Tell us your best......
A couple of races this year for us. Rock Falls Raceway in Wisconsin for the MCR 1st annual Stick Challenge. We had career low 60' times of 1.405 and the best prepped track that weekend. We were allowed to leave the trailer at the track after the race that weekend, and went sight seeing in the Great Lakes area. That was an added bonus for my wife and I.
The final race of the season, Setting the SS/N national record at Kearney Raceway Park, with D-5 tech Wayne Lewis present. Wayne has been a fantastic help in answering my many tech questions over the years. Wayne has had some health issues the last couple of years, so it was truly an honor to have him there during the teardown process. I would be remiss not to mention the other D-5 tech staff of Ron Hawkins, Vince Tosto, Kevin Jonas, Bob Blackwell, and Travis Hilton all present that weekend. We are very fortunate to have these fine people that are as passionate about Stock and SS as we are! Sean |
Re: Tell us your best......
Several years ago my beautiful B/SA 69 Camaro got stolen and was never found. I was devastated, and it was years before I made it back to the track. That was hands down the worst day in racing for me. This year in Las Vegas after a casual discussion with another racer I found out he was thinking of selling his 427 A/SA 69 Camaro. It was a bit of an impulse buy - but by that evening I had a new car and was once again going to have the chance to race my first love....a big block 69 Camaro.
It’s out in the garage right now, sitting next to the 69 RS 396/375 streeter Camaro that I got after my baby got stolen. It’s resting comfortably up on jacks as I work through a few of the off season changes I wanted to make. A couple of times I have awakened and thought I heard some laughter coming from the garage. Like my father used to do when we got too rambunctious after bedtime I go down the hall, open the door, and try to sound stern when I say, “You kids keep it down, it’s bedtime and you need to go to sleep.” I close the door and try not to laugh - just like my dad did 50 years ago. When sleep finally comes on those nights I dream about how much fun it’s going to be this coming year: all the laughter, great meals, exciting round wins, disapointing round losses, quiet moments driving to new tracks, and mostly the camaraderie that makes this crazy sport so addicting. But mostly I dream about how great it will be to be back behind the wheel of a beautiful 69 Camaro again. Thanks John! Happy New Year to you all - and to all a good night! |
