"Live" from the 2nd Annual Uncle Buck 90 Nationals!
 

Well not quite yet!

I will be leaving the compound about 6am in the morning to start the trip up to Numidia Dragway and the 2nd annual Nitroplate "Uncle Buck" Memorial .90 Nationals! Should be at the track about 10am to start set-up. Nitro Joe is probably already there or close by unless one of the cornfield consumed the Nitro Lounge but, he might be able to chime in with some insight and pics once he get's settled in for the night!

This is a great event to honor a great man who feed pretty much everyone in Division 1,2 & 3 over the years and was friends to all of us. I do have to give thanks to all the sponsors who have come on board for this event. A very special Thanks to Kevin Cradduck from Nitroplate for becoming the title sponsor of this event. Next time when you go to choose a sponsor over the winter to get new parts or upgrade your current combination please look at the 30+ sponsors who came on board for this event. These truly are the Guys & Gals who support Sportsman Racing!

Tomorrow gates will open at 10am till 11pm for parking! Friday Gates open at 8am with the Free Test & Tune starting at 10am till about 2pm. Then the Comp Cams shootouts will start very shortly afterwards. With cold temps scheduled for this weekend we are going to try to get as much as we can in on Friday Night before the Street Cars start to roll in at 5pm. Saturday Gates open at 8am with racing starting at 9:30am SHARP! Sunday Gates open at 8am with Time Runs starting at 10am for MASCA & MASSA. If there is enough interest we will add a Super Gas Gamblers race to the schedule but, we will see.

Well I have a few more items to pack then I will be coming to you live from the 90 Nationals tomorrow morning! Hope to see a lot of racers make it out to this event!

Good Morning Ladies and Gents,

Yes it is Day #1 of the Nitroplate Ronnie "Uncle Buck" .90 Nationals here at Numidia. Had about 25-30 rigs roll in last night and it was a mix of .90 cars and Stk/SS. Parking may become a small issue as many more are scheduled to come in this morning at 8am but, Nitro Joe is on it and will have it under control. If we have too we will park on the other side as they finished up the paving job of the return road yesterday. So we look forward to a great day of racing! Gates open at 8am with test and tune to start around 10am. Had a small rain shower at 1am so track drying will take just a little bit longer but, Mike and Keith will have the track in tip top shape!

I will try to post pics throughout the day but, the Internet is a little slow being up in the mountains!

Have a good time everyone... Cheers!

After a brief shower during the test and tune, we ran that till 2:45 before starting the Comp Cams Shootout. We were able to get all the finals complete before 6pm to make room for the street racing that goes on here at Friday..

Winners were:

Super Comp: Kevin Scholl over Dick Dorr
Super Gas: Ron Orbin over Mike Daymude
Super Street: Keith Mayers over Jeff Fisher

Well Day #2 is upon us here at Numidia. First off thank you to all the racers who made it out to this event and supported it. I haven't gotten a chance to take a look at the pits this morning to see who in all came in last night but, once the sun breaks ill have a better understanding.

Slight dew shower came in and made things a little wet and it sure did get cold overnight. Racing it too start at 9:30 but, I think we might be a little delayed until the sun comes out and puts some heat into the air.

Thanks once again to all the racers who made the trip to Numidia!!

I just wanted to come on here and say "Thanks" to all the racers who came out and supported the event. I spoke with a lot of racers over the weekend about how we could improve the event if we decided to do another one in 2014 and I got a lot of good feedback. I guess between Charlotte and the Hot Rod Reunion event at Epping it was just bad timing to try and draw a lot cars for the event. I do applaud some of the racers who blew stuff up Friday and did everything in their power to piece it back together so they could race on Saturday. Temps were a little cold but, we were done all 3 days no later then 6pm with the winners crowned. A big hats off to Mike Summers and the Numidia crew for an awesome track and Keith Hildebrant from Maple Grove who worked the waterbox over the weekend and did track prep! A big thanks to Nitro Joe who came out from Ohio to help keep me sane and Mike Bassin who did the announcing over the 2 days. Also Gina "Cupcake" Mocci for helping with registration and Rob Jackson's wife Rose for helping out Gina at the booth. Also the Donhausers and the crew from the Moose who put on an excellent BBQ. Thank you all for the support. I'm going to weigh out the options for 2014 and see where is takes me. I'd love to do another event maybe back at Numidia or at another venue but, I have to see who will work with me.

Once again thanks to all the racers for their support at this event along with the sponsors help! I couldn't do it without any of you guys!!
