Re: Congrats Sam Reuland !
First off, thanks everyone for the congratulations. Much appreciated and it took a little while.
Now, as for the controversy with the qualifying sheets. My dad and I do race a '11 Challenger, which we have had out for little over a year now. A few years ago we ran the Firebird at Kearney and their computers just didn't update the drivers with their new cars. Hence, Dad and I and at least one other driver had the wrong car listed.
I appreciated the history of the Firebird that was listed, and it is essentially correct. My dad and Kenny, Harry, and Denny Axemaker are first cousins. They started racing in '77 when they built the '72 GTO that we still own today and is shown in those pictures. The Firebird was parked for round-a-bout a decade when Dad asked Ken, the sole owner, if we could race it again. Ken graciously lent us the car while we, and Harry, supplied the parts. We raced it from 2007 until late 2017 when we parked it in order to complete work on the Challenger. Ken sold it over the winter last year and it remains in the area in the hands of Dan Johnson. The GTO will be brought back out next year as a secondary car with a new paint scheme.
