Congrats to John Labbous, Jr.

I know this isn't class racing, but John Labbous, Jr. (along with Sr., I'm sure) won the K & N Spring Fling in Super Pro on Thurs, Fri, and Sat. Still haven't seen any results from Sunday. That is pretty impressive. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree!

Whats impressive is that a Mopar lasted that long. LOL

Larry the results are up on DRC now. I have some pictures from the race. Man I am sure glad that I don't have to race with those guys. The packages they put together were unbelievable.

I wish we could get Pete Biondo and Kyle Seipel to promote a race like the K&N Spring Flings 20's for us stk/ss guys. You had so many chances to win stuff you would not believe. Fire suits, practice tree's, weather stations slicks, vacations, lots of money and more.

I had a link to the live feed from the track, but it did not draw much interest from the stk/ss guys. I heard everyone had a great time. They had a killer barbeque it was a memorial barbeque for Jim Harrington that Anthony Bertozzi put on.

You can see that that Alan Reinhart was announcing. Kyle Seipel giving Jeg jr a certificate for the tires he won. There is Pete Biondo talking to the TV crew, it will be on Fox Sport Network, a 30 min show. And of coarse the guy who had the big pay day, Johnny Labbous, Jr in the center, $52,500.00 nice!

looks like we need a race like this.

Junior Houston defeated Brian Folks in Sunday's $20K. There were also two separate winner-take-all shootout races: Jason Lynch won the dragster shootout and Luke Bogacki won the door car shootout. Lynch beat Bogacki in the King of the Mountain Shootout to win an expense-paid trip to Las Vegas.

Fletcher and I were there donating... I was footbraking the Volare. I understand Fletcher put a box in the Super Stocker -- went a few rounds here and there. He put Alan Reinhart in his Stocker, who footbraked to an .012 bulb with no time shots on the first hit!

Tough, tough racing... fun, FUN racing. Loved the 1000' racing! Thanks to Pete, Kyle, and everyone who helped put on the event!
