First i want to thank every one that help and cooked son daughters wives girl friends that cleaned and polished and traveled
and our SPONSORS ARE UNBELIEVEABLE WOW WOW WOW
We had some of the best burgers chips dips and BROWNIES i think we every had.
Friday eve we had open practice there are some super fast cars for sundays races records have already starting to fall .
In spena fashion i will have to talk about my self in third party ha ha
One record that fell was a 12.96 lap on white in practice on the monster
On the oval orange lane hiram ran 3.82 lap on orange
Thats just a few i know there will be more
Saturday started with race showing up just before 8 am and paratice started again
All the race were ther by 10 we had 14 racers
At about 11am drivers meeting started numbers drawn for chassis and door prizes started to be drawn for wow what prizes.
after chassis pick the racers sat a there boxes the timer was set and the build was on it only took a few seconds till you heard motors whisling like dentist drills the 30 min went by was to fast for some. kevin was done in about 20 min mark and started trying to help others that struggle a little bit the bell rang the cars were impounded pix taken
then all the racers lined up and voted on BEST OF SHOW after vote counted HIRAMS CAR WON HANDS DOWN what a cool car all the cars were gorgeous (this is what we had in mind when we decided to run fair gounds style cars ) SEE PIX
Then qualifing started the grill was fired up and the MONSTERS OF THE SOUTH has begun
Wow the car were fast and smooth there was a few that had issues every one had 2 mins to test on track after everyone was through there were a few that could not get car to run right or and frt end bouce so we decided in the name of fun to allow extra time to get cars tune. Rays car would just stop it was the fastest car in the straight but would just stop there were 3 of us working on his car Kevin working on brushes Hiram working on shoes TC on what ever he could lend a hand .Alans car had a severe bounce we could not get it out so his car bounced all day and he drove the wheels off that car wow good job Alan(sorry we could not make it better)
Thats part of the fun with bag o parts races you never know who going to get THE CAR
on this day it was Kevin it was fast smooth and handled
with time spent on trying to make cars better we had to change our program a little we ran a round robin style once through races
We ran a 3 min qualifier that set the field for the rest of the day it was on the MONSTER road course there was shoes be tweeking there was body grinding every one try to get their cars to run better

We set up the main so 1 moved out of the c and 2 moved up from the b would move up to the next main
C main was a race to watch they were all with in a lap of each other till about the begining of the 3 rd lane ----we ran on the 4 outside lanes so we could run marshalled races
The last 2 lanes was the Tony and Ricky show they battled to the very end with Tony getting to the lap counter 1st they were only about 20 sections apart
45 tony moved up
44 ricky
40 alan
38 damiom
35 kassie
with Tony moving up to the B main it was set
it was another lane to lane battle i dont think Tony and TC were ever more than 6 inches from each other what a race these guy were flying to tell the truth i do not know who won it was that close i just know they moved to the A main and the battle continued there
Mike and Ray ran amazing races also they were right there the whole race the red lane bit them both i would love to see a replay of that race
47 tc
47 tony

Now to the A main
it started with Kevin in blue Hiram in red. Kevin took of to almost a full lap lead over the field
Tony and TC continued there battle but remain very close and at then end of the 1st lane Kevin was in the lead TC 2nd Tony 3rd hiram 4th but Hiram was done with the gutter lane had 3 fast lanes to go
at the end of 3 lanes Kevin still had about 3/4 of a lap lead over the other 3
the last lane saw Hiram in blue Kevin in yellow 2 fastest lanes on the track
it was Kevins race to lose and he did about half way his car hit some thing in frt straight and came off from that point the car hit it 3 time in the closing laps and Hiram was on the prowl he was running some of the fastest laps of the day and got by Kevin to take the win by 20 track sections
way to drive Hiram i dont think i have ever shook that bad
grats buddy what a race
Tony and TC just beat the dog out of each other with TC coming out on top i think the hole race other than Kevins problems the was only 5 or 6 wrecks total by all 4 guys wow what a race great job guys
with an SS win 2 years in a row hiram took home the gold
49 hiram

qualifing 1st you take about fast cars omg
TC set early time at a 4.1 but we had 10 fast indys and again Hiram flying in with a 3.873
Kevins car sputtered few others crashed so the had to back off a little to get a lap in

5.776 ray
This race we ran 2 mains with 2 moving up to the A
the B saw Mike an Alan battle for the #1 spot both cars were flying low and puttin some laps down in a hurry
This was a track call race which mean you crash or you take some one out who evers cars not in the slot they lost a lap so you have to watch what you do cause you take some one out karma will come back to bite you
Mike and Alan just kind of ran off and hid from the others with Mike winning and Alan 2nd for the move ups
1 big note the was less crashes in this race then ther was in the A main

Now the A main it was billed to be the fastest indy car race on the east coast and it was
Hiram and Kevin clicked off 3.7 sec laps all the car ran sub 4 sec laps it was a great 1st lane then all he---l broke out wrecks ever where TC went 3 lane with out a crash till Kevin and him were battling and Kevin took them both out the like 10 laps later Mike got him .Shortly there after he got him self. Kevin car was the fastest on all lanes till he got to white and his car would not pull any speed and Hiram put 4 laps on him in 1 lane
then it became the fastest iNdy race youed ever see Kevin on a mission to get laps back
Hiram and TC trying to hold him off Tony , Mike and Alan were racing for 4th after that and battle they did till Alans car got hot and Mike and Tony left him behind Mike had to drive hard but a little to hard and crashes took there toll
when the race was over Kevin had made up 2 laps on Hiram but it was not enough TC was right there
for the 2nd year in a row Hiram owned Sundays races taking both win on this day
