Thanks Jack..Love the race reports !!!

Looks like a Monday morning schedule for the sportsman categories.Frank "If I don't out ET you I'll
cut your eyes out" Manzo did it again in TA/FC.He gets my vote for sportsman of the century.
Thanks to those who congratulated me on the first round hail Mary.It really wasn't rocket science,just good old bookkeeping.The second round CRS came into play.
There were rumors of this race moving to Oct. next year.I hope it comes to pass.This and the Dutch back to back would be great.
In spite of the weather my little group made the best of it with good food and just great companionship.
Thanks to Todd Bednaz for stepping up to give Ron Infantino his expertise on a heads up run.Ronnie picked up almost .4 and made a race of it with the Forarties.That was a fun race to watch.

Way to go Kevin Fogerty! Great job getting the Runner-up spot at a tough event, to a tough racer! I wish I could be there.

Just looking at the Stock results every round, it looks like they moved the mph marker about 20 feet!

Hey Jack,

You going to be there next year with a stocker, or are you going to move up and run Pro Stock? Just remember though P/S wheelies aren't near as high as you're used to!

Thanks for joining us on Sunday. See you @ Richmond!
