I was sitting about three rows behind the guy that got hit. Scary deal for sure.

I asked the track workers in the squad on Sunday and they hadn't heard anything.

Brother and I were 15ft away, a row up and left of him. I thought he had spilled his ice cream until his wife started screaming... most bizarre thing I've ever seen. A small piece of something grazed my arm hair when it happened. Thought it was my imagination until I saw the other guy...

First of all it was a hot awesome weekend. I talked to the track officials. They had to take the guy to Cleveland where he had surgery but he is OK and doing better. This was Sunday night around 7:30 in the staging lanes. Also a real million to one chance was that there was a nurse right there close to him to help till the track EMT's got there. Birdtracker

My Son, Sister, Nephew and I all had a great time! This was my Son's first bracket racing event and he went 3 rounds on Saturday and 2 rounds on Sunday. Pretty good showing for a rookie. Thanx for having a great event Josh!

I have no issues with the date. And as far as the Mopar Nats, great car show & swap but lousy for racing.

I went as a spectator and still had a decent time. I have to admit though, with 3 big shows (Carlisle, MM, and the Nats) in a 4 week time frame, I just financially can't swing it. That being said, I end up as just a spectator at two of the shows, and only bring a car to one. Whenever it is, I will probably still go, but I preferred the layed back September atmosphere as opposed to july. Even if one of the big 3 switched to a june date, that would be a blessing.


Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

Same here Gary! Saw you a bunch of times but was always running somewhere. We're up in MI for this week visiting family. When I make my way over to Holiday Pizza for a couple slices, I'll stop by your shop and say Hi.

I'm really dissapointed I couldn't make it this year. Too much in my plate with the shop and work obligations, I couldn't swing it. I'm happy the event was move to July as my work has a vacation black out period on the old date. KOS and this event are what I'm building my alcar for and I can't wait to get it done and come racing.

My husband and I had a blast, even though it was too hot. I like the September date better, but we will come to this event no matter what, it's our favorite of the year.

Got down to 10 cars in Sportsman on Sunday. Which made for a late night. There are some touch racers at Monster Mopar, I had to fight hard for each win light. Though we never changed the dial on the car all weekend, it ran incredibility consistent even in the heat and humidity.

Met some new moparts members (I think I scared Bill Hartman?) and lots of old friends.

Met the Flying Dartman (Joe)...that guy is awesome! He let me sit in his car. And his car smelled better than mine did.

Hung out with mr340 and his posse a few times (NO, I didn't blink again!)

Gmoney1320 (Greg)....my favorite Greg. You need kids.

And a special shout out to Lonnie Smith for making fun of my boots.

Big kudos to my awesome husband, who tried to keep me as cool as possible in the heat. He even let me use him as shade. A spray bottle of water in a cooler in the trunk of your racecar?? PRICELESS.

And luckily I remembered to put pants on before the 2:00 AM bathroom visit. It was a close one though.

And to whoever fell off the back of the golf cart during the Saturday night drunken pit vehicle wheelstand competition....I salute you. You took one for the team.

pics to follow shortly.

I like this event no matter when the date is although being in September is a tradition and was always the championship event. I personally thought the swap meet was bigger being 2 full rows as opposed to 1 full and a few straglars. Its always great to see old friends and meet new ones. There could be about 20 more KOS cars as far as im concerned as they really rip down the track!! And they're MOPAR!!
