A/Stick and A/SA Challenge-INDY 2012!
First of all, thanks to all participants, supporters and fans!
Once again, some great racing and a double up on repeat winners! Caleb McFarland defeated Kevin Helms David Barton defeated Jeg Coughlin in A/SA There continues to be a lot of interest in this format that supports racers at the Indy Race! We had a 5th year for our A/Stick Challenge and the second for the A/SA. It would not be possible without all of you. I even had a nice article about Caleb and the Challenge Races on the Sportsman Report on Competition Plus. Nitro Joe had a great idea about the A/SA race needing a Trophy also, so he took ownership of commissioning one for next year. We had to move the awards presentation up a day with the anticipation of the weather from Isaac and the schedule change. Jeff Teuton had his hospitality crew in position to ensure that all was well taken care of. The Varsity Ford Gang came over and ordered about 30 pizzas to go with Jeff's Beer Stash as well! Here are some more pics to add to the great shots from Larry and Patsy Hill. http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h.../joemartin.jpg Joe Martin- A/Stick! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...andbrother.jpg Joe's brother and CrewChief- Nice Shirt! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...chter/keir.jpg Ken Keir's Nova getting a push for class http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...rucenoland.jpg Bruce Noland was back again with his Beauty Corvette! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...hter/jason.jpg It wouldn't be Indy without McCormack Hemi Power in the Lanes! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...ebandkevin.jpg |

Re: A/Stick and A/SA Challenge-INDY 2012!
James,
I can't thank you enough for the amount of effort you put into this deal. It really made it worth the trip for the Carp/Barton Team. This is proof that hard work and a little bit of luck pays off. I also have to thank the #1 guy in charge, Al Carpiniello, who unfortunately couldn't make the trip, and my father, Ray Barton. If it wasn't for these 2 guys I wouldn't have a car to turn wrenches on. And I can't forget Mike Roth from MR2 Race Cars, Santhuff Shocks, and AEM for making it so easy to make my adjustments from round to round. And a big THANK YOU for everyone that pitched into the pot, it is greatly appreciated from all of us at Ray Barton Racing. |

Jim,
Thank you for everything you do for the A/Stick and A/SA Challenge. It is greatly appreciated! I want to thank all of the sponsors for everything they have given! I would also like to say thanks to Ernie Neal for making that awesome trophy! |
Re: A/Stick and A/SA Challenge-INDY 2012!
Jim,
Thank you for all of your efforts. Even as a bit player it was fun to be a part of your A/SA Challenge. |
Re: A/Stick and A/SA Challenge-INDY 2012!
I have the greatest respect for all of the "A" racers at Indy. There are no bit players here. Many take B to make it easier to qualify. I understand that. It is tough at Indy. That being said, those that remain to battle in A deserve respect.
You all have my respect as racers at the toughest race out there. Heck, even the Ford guys paid homage with an offering of pizza from the Varsity Ford team! http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/h...r/photo-32.jpg |

Re: A/Stick and A/SA Challenge-INDY 2012!
There was some mentions on the nice Article Bobby Bennett did on the Challenge Races at Indy. ( Great Coverage by the way for 2 years running) I thought I would provide a link to the sportsman report for those that have not seen it.
When you get there, you will see Me and Caleb along with 2 very special items. There were some awesome prizes awarded through the help of others that include cash and prizes! Makes it really nice for the A/Stick and A/SA competitors that slug it out at Indy! There are two notable "priceless" items presented that were made possible by some very thoughtful racers! 1) The American Flag that was flown in a U2 spyplane over Afganistan. That is a keeper for sure. This was made possible by Shawn Allsup, a member of our racing and military community! 2) The right to hold the A/Stick Champion's Trophy for yet another year! This trophy was the product of Dennis Breeden, his Uncle and of course, SSGT/C Racer Ernie Neal! Now, I have to excuse the fact that I am even in the picture, but I am sure Jack would be proud of the CR shirt! Thanks again to Bobby Bennett and www.competitionplus.com along with Ken Miele and www.classracer.com This type of grassroots racer support would not be possible without good and smart people that love our sport and help it to thrive! click the link and read on. The A/Stick Coverage is down a ways as it is on the Thursday Coverage portion of the page. Thanks! http://www.competitionplus.com/drag-...tsman-notebook |
