A special thanks to Pete Ryckaert from www.stratmosphere.com (http://www.stratmosphere.com) for sponsoring the race. Also, George from www.performance-hobbies.com (http://www.performance-hobbies.com) for co-sponsoring and donating some additional door prizes.

Thanks to Brian Bettis, Larry Cowland, and especially Don Nicholls for taking care of business and calling the races on a very nice Saturday afternoon.

Okay, we'll try again with some highlights...

Dean Anderson drew the pole position, and won the dash, securing the pole for the "A" Main, from which he never looked back (at least not until the last 10 laps when Terry Schmitt started closing in VERY quickly).

Move of the day goes to Mike Alivero. In the dash, he slammed on the brakes at the finish of the 15 lapper to let TQ Dave Gruel finish ahead of him. Why? Because that starting position that Dave gained, gave him a transponder that hadn't been working right all day! Mike knew that, so he let Dave finish in front of him! DEFINITELY THE MOVE OF THE RACE, AND THE SERIES (so far)!!!

There were 10 of us at Hooters for the post-race dinner. The highlights....

Lil' Pete when the waitress gave him a "hat slam": http://members.cox.net/bones96/images/smilies/weak.gif

...and at that moment, Pete thought it was over. Rupert had been whispering to the waitress, it had to be about the "hat slam", what else could they do?

Lil' Pete when the Hooters girls tied balloons to his arms, made him stand on the chair, and sang the Hooters Birthday Song to him: http://members.cox.net/bones96/images/smilies/help.gif

PRICELESS!!!!

I don't think he'll ever be the same!

And by the way...

Question of the day:

How many Canadians made the "A" Main, or finished in the top 10?

Does that give you any idea?

Jeff, the reason no Canadians were in the Top 10 was that we are a very friendly group and we like to make our guests feel welcome when they come across the border to race so that they will enjoy themselves and come back again.
Monday night was another "Dean" show with a TQ run and a win in the A Main although Daryll stayed with him in both the qualifying and main runs but not fast enough to beat him
On the lighter side, I really enjoyed announcing the races on Sat. It was real good to see a lot of you guys back up running with us (kind of reminded me of my indoor clay track in Caledonia back in '97). No top 10 finishes for us but I think everyone enjoyed themselves and didn't go home all excited at somebody else for whatever reason.
Possibly see you at Kranzels.
