Sorry folks about the lack of reports on the final day. I needed to get home after losing in the 2nd round. Before I left I had a good talk with Gary Richard about supporting this race again next year. He was very please with the turnout overall, especially in Stock. Gary assured me that he will be onboard for next year if the interest is there.

I encourage everyone in D1 to let Gary know you liked his format and would like to see more races like this. At $140 entry fee, and a $2500 payout with an extra $300 for the CIC or Quick 8 winner, its a good deal to say the least. The weather on Saturday late did put a stop to the finish of the Quick 8 and CIC race, but overall the race went on without a hitch. There was plenty of time shots for all, and you still could have got to the track on Sunday and raced the eliminator.

The wind was pretty stiff on Sunday as you can see from the flag, It was a strong cross wind. Top Dragster ran 1/8 mile because of the wind. The race was finished in a timely manner, and thanks Nitro Joe for all the rounds in Stk and SS.
