Chili Bowl 2012


The winning car of Kevin Swindell.


The runner-up car of Sammy Swindell. Either these two drivers are head and heels above everyone, or they got something a little extra.


Dennis Howell came to help Andy Bondio.


Andy brought 2 cars this year.


This one was a little spacier than the other, but they both ran fine. Brad Mosen won the D main.


Mike Lapp from Arizona.


Cody Darrah and Rick Eckert from PA.


Tracy Hines ran 11th in the main event.

Brent Camarillo missed the transfer out of the E main. Brother Brian made the B main, but didn't get in the big show.


Neat car, but I never figured out who was driving it. I think it was a Mike Sala car like the one Richard VanderWeerd drove, maybe it was Jace?
