Racers represented 24 states plus a boisterous crew from Ontario, Canada. Unsurprisingly, Ohio led with 60 entries, followed by Michigan with 21, and Kentucky with 20. We welcomed racers from Florida, Alabama, Texas, Louisiana, Nevada, South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesnowta, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire among many other states. The support from Division 5 was particularly impressive. It was great to put some names with faces, and see a lot of unique, quality machines.


White-Welker & Welker Law Firm posted $100 for the Longest Tow Award. Ed Carpenter from Dripping Springs, TX logged over 2550 miles round trip, arriving at the track in one piece, and arriving back home in one piece, and this true Iron Man of the sport survived all of the pieces in the middle. Honorable mention goes to Paul Wong, who slogged through over 2,000 miles one way from Las Vegas, NV, but is flying home. It was great to have both of these "2,000 Mile Club" members in the house, and wish them safe travels!
