Yep.. About 5-6 years ago, we had that set up at Wild Horse with the Monte. We got the first bye for no. 1 ..We went a few more but didn't make it far enough for the 5th bye.
First time I saw this was at the Indy Open about 25 years ago. I thought no, this can't be right...but it was.
There are only 4 earned byes in a 7 round race. Then, it goes back to the no. 1 car position again, if the numbers are right, contrary to what some believe.

Looking for some varification.

The 71 Challenger that says Motown Missile - Gregg Luneack's old car correct.

The Black and White 70 GTX w/ graphics - Mike Loge's old car correct.

Thanks in advance.

Correct on both Ron….and both in good hands.

Good to know that both cars are in good hands. Thanks Jim.

Our great friend Wes Leopold Jr. won Competition Eliminator at SGMP this past weekend for his second win of this season, however the car was very badly damaged after passing the finish line at 164.55 MPH. The good news is after being cut from the car, taken to the hospital and released he's fine and on his way home to Pittsburgh.
God Bless!

Frank, Thanks for the update, I was wondering if he was okay and I hadn't seen anything. So glad all is well.

Saw on insidecompracing.com that he suffered a broken collar bone. He’s been putting together a great season so hope he can get healed and be able to repair the car. Great running car, just glad he wasn’t hurt worse.
