Open Show 1 AM RACE RESULTS

On a breezy night 32 car arrived to experience the first open show experience from the Jack Gardner Jr/ Cary Faas promotions. If the smiles on everyone's faces are any indication, it was a huge success. Blake Miller was awesome as he won the $5000 first prize and evry body got paid and went home happy. It was my first visit to the nicely laid out 3/8ths mile track and the racing was good the track wasn't dusty and the crowd enjoyed the show. The battle bar issue was a non-issue, excet for one notable, and the race was run efficiently thruout. If not for too many yellows in the feature, it would have been a perfect full moon night of racing. As it was, the 10 o'clock curfew was made and the payoff done and the first of what might be many races run during the CRA breaks is now history. Congrats to all who did the hard work, it was worth it.

It was pretty chilly by nights end and many high lights dotted the evening. Having Brad Doty in the booth was a good thing as his expertise informed the crowd, Walt James band of old timers had some of their awesome cars on display (which is always good), the barbeque sandwich was exceptional, and the racing was great. Mike Spencer was the cream of the field as he set fast time for at least a $200 bonus, surged to the lead, but broke a camshaft and was done. Tony Jones lost a cylinder about halfway, but hung on for 2nd. Josh Ford started 17th and after going to the back for a spin, came back to 4th for the hard charger award that was worth $ 400 of posted money by TOHF and JAF photo guys, Chris Tramel had a fire in hot laps and got $200 of hard luck money> Shon Duskins came over from Arizona to get the $600 bonus for highest finishing 360. Cody Williams had his best finish at 5th for a great drive in the black Jory racer. Heidi Tresler, a local cute young lady was 11th in her 360, so we had a little bit of everything. Can't wait till the next one!
