Nice picts.

Black 63 (no head lights and in the repair process) is Denny Renninger from MG. Great guy and racer going against RP's Jimmy Young. Denny's tree and dialing hard skills vs Jimmy's tree and stripe driving abilities. That should be a great race.

Bob Ormsbee in the white Safeco vette. Mike O'mara checking air in the money making Vega both from the Grove.

Mr John Grater with the Torino (racing it since new) behind Bob Gay 's silver vette.

Other hitters from Numidia, Atco, and Raceway.

Wow wish I was there even to spectate.

Good to see a Team Atco Street ET racer made it to the finals.

When I left on Saturday @ 3:00 (third rain delay) All 1st round of Street, and 1/2 of PRO was in the books. At that time we were 4pts out of first.
I have not heard the final tally.
