In the staging lanes. Looked at the brake pedal area while
I was in the car. He just told me he was looking for something
and didn’t see it in our car. This was in the stock class don’t
know if he did the same in super stock.

Thanks to Tyler and Brian for creating a great event.

Track prep was second to none, and the entire event went off without a hitch.

Nice to meet and greet racers from the other divisions, and the comp people too.

I got to compete in 4 races in 4 days with the Gremlin,2 races with the truck, and will have more fond memories of loosing than the winning rounds.

Twice the Gremlin was beaten by Patterson’s Copo, getting passed at 150 while I was on the brakes going 90.

Loosing today chasing Buth in the Ranger with the Gremlin. He dialed a 15.56 and I a 13.47.

Loosing the wheelstand competition to Lance Line(his was bigger).

Loosing in round 2 on the first race and having to lift when the wheelstand went awry but the track prep let me Dukes of Hazard it back into the center and out of harms way.

Having this all on Motormania TV made it an even more special experience. My wife got to watch from home.

Bobby Fazio did all those interviews which were great.

It was a privilege to go, glad I could, for those that couldn't you unfortunately missed out.

What in the hell is wrong with you active Stock and Super Stock racers? 74 Stockers and 54 Super Stockers. There should of been twice that many. I think there were more D7 cars than D4. Division 3 probably has over 200 active SS racers and 54 total from all divisions show up. These two young men put on a race that has something for everybody. One of the best track prep guys in the country, NHRA tech guys, centrally located on a really nice track. In a month Gateway is going to have a double points race where you get to race for a $1000 and I would bet there will be over a hundred Stockers and 100 Super Stockers. If we keep on not supporting these races there wont be any more of them.I don’t see any way Tyler and Brian didn’t lose money on this race.

Michael Beard tried this and couldn’t make it work because of low racer turnout. Wake up folks.
