Tell us your best......

Merry Christmas everyone. I was thinking to myself its only a few days until end of the year.... what were the best days from my race season?

Being just an average racer, it was not winning that's for sure....ha. For me its the first race I go to. Its cold up here in the northeast and the first race for me is always Florida in late February and March. Its just so nice to feel the warm air and start racing. Indy is also a great week for racing, even if I don't do well, I just love going to the US Nationals. I know this sounds a little corny, but I really like to talk to the fans. Indy is always good for that, when the parents with their kids look at the cars and I get the kids to sit in the drivers seat. The smile on their faces from the kids and the parents are so cool.

Tell us your best days at the races. I would love to here racers and fans stories about what they feel was the best days at the track this season.

I always love Bristol. My Mum usually comes in from England. I never do any good, but it's always a great weekend.

This is my first attempt at posting here so .... My best day this season was when I won super stock at the Maple Grove div race in May. It was my second race with my SS/KA firebird that I bought from the Kennedys. It was really special because my wife was with me and we got to go to the winners circle together. While we have bracket raced for many years this was my first season as a class racer. I would like to thank the Kennedys, the Antonettes, Ken Robinson, Mark Osterbye, and the crew from NHRA and others too numerous to list for all their help and patience with all my questions. We met a lot of great people and had fun which is really what its about. Looking forward to 2020. Roy Kinslow

In Sept., Lebanon Valley holds the Dover Dragstrip Reunion. It has grown into a 3 day event, with a car show and packed grandstands.
I was fortunate enough to go 4 rounds on Sunday in "Dover Vintage", lost in semi-finals.

Every race day is always the best day of the week , but winning the Virginia Nationals was certainly the best Sunday of the year .

Winning class at the 50th Gators making it to the semis at the Baby Gators and the quarters at the Gators. Being warm in March and hanging with a bunch of D1 racers and friends made it all unforgettable!

My best race experience in 2019 was a 10 day adventure on the Canadian side of the P.C. Richards Div 1 National Open trail - back to back weekends at Napierville, Quebec and Miramichi, New Brunswick. Went some rounds, posted a PB and sampled some of the best scenery that Eastern Canada can serve up! Just the best of everything that our sport can offer....the thrill of competition, the companionship of some of the finest and most genuine characters a person could hope to meet, and the warm feeling that follows a competitorâ€™s winnerâ€™s circle celebration. The coolest part was, it was a repeat of 2018 without an ounce of dÃ©jÃ* vu. I expect no less from 2020; canâ€™t wait!!
