A great shout out to Beaver Bob, he did it again!! Pulled off yet another fabulous Nostalgia weekend!!
Another great shout out to my son Kyle, who runner-upped in the 422 Motorsports All Star event on Saturday evening.....he did a great job, and the car ran flawless. A breakout ended capped the evening, but it was a fabulous evening. The first round, he took out his dad (me), and didn't look back. Geat job, Kyle. That 422 Motorsports series is a great deal.....having to dial a zero and then not being able to change it sure makes a driver out of you. They work hard at putting on a good show, and do. Hat's off to you guys.
Ronnie McClelland, myself, both had decent weekends. Ronnie went three rounds on Saturday, two on Friday evening. Myself, this blind old bald guy went some rounds himself on Friday. Congrats to Aaron, Ronnie's son, who had a very good showing in Nostalgia Jr. Stock as well with his Duster.
A lot of thanks are in order....first, a BIG, BIG thanks to Pro Shift Charger and Bob Roles (Slammin' Savoy) Hemi who fixed Kyle up with a starter motor after his failed on Friday. It was a late night changing it, but it sure paid off. Thanks so much, guys. Thanks to Bob George Racing and Bud's Auto Sales for everything that paid off....Brother Bob for so much it's hard to name it all. I hope we did you and the rest of BGR proud.
Tommy D....I hope all is well. I hunted you up on Friday evening, but someone said there were some problems and you headed home. I pray everything is OK......
Thanks to everyone who made the weekend so enjoyable. It was so much fun, I think we'll do it again next year!!

Steve, Im glad it all worked out for you & your crew. After I told you we had an extra starter in the trailer then to look and not see it, luckily Bob double checked and found it. I wasnt too worried because I knew I had a brand new starter at home. I was bringing it for you the next day. Anyway, I got called into work for a couple hours Saturday morning. Its a real good thing we did it Friday night because you wouldnt have enough time late Saturday morning to get the repair done. I was late getting there Saturday  Hey wait a minute, Kyle got a starter, Bob Roles got my starter and I....  Just kidding  Anytime Brother Steve!! When Bob George broke his tranny at the York Nationals we helped get his tranny together and back on the track too. I know without a doubt any of you guys would do the same for us!!!! Watching the semi finals in your pits and seeing your reaction when Kyle won his way into the finals after the re-run was priceless...it was all worth it for sure!! Kyle, Great Job once again and I'll be watching for that contingency money.  Just one question I forgot to ask you.... How did the two of you get paired up in the first round of eliminations when originally you werent lined up with eachother???  Doug

Steve,
It wasn't the best showing for us. Thanks for the prayers. We had problems right off the trailer. I didn't touch anything on the car from the last race, other than an oil change. We had horrible bogging issues off the line, then the car would pick up and run the normal MPH at the other end. I drained the fuel tank and rebuilt the carbs at home. I'm still waiting for new needles and seats to finnish it off.
To top that off, my seven year-old son, Tommy suffered from a bad migrane headache. After losing first round, he got sick to his stomach. Too little food and sleep catches up to him. Instead of rebuilding the carbs in the hotel bathroom Friday night, we decided to head for home. Tough decision, but a good one in hindsight.
I'm glad to hear your son did so well on Saturday. I heard John Wareheim's Chevelle was in the final. He was leading the 422 points by at least 25 points before the race. This should seal the championship for him.
Missing the 422 race essentially eliminated us from the points race. We were in 2nd going in, but now I'm sure I'm out of the top ten. Oh well...that's racing.

Doug, that is the way the ladder worked out. They use reaction time to set a ladder, and the old man  qualified second with a .003 reaction time. Don't even ask how I did it. However, the way it worked out, Kyle was in the middle of the pack and wound up drawing me the first round. I asked Beaver Bob to make sure he got some good pics...that's one I want for a frame....and he assured me he would. Anyway, I couldn't repeat a real good light, redlighted, and Kyle laid a .013 on me and advanced. You are right, I was tickled. I don't know who was more pumped...him or me. It was a great evening.....and we have you guys to thank. You are right, we certainly would have done the same had roles been reversed, but it is an example of what is so great about this sport. Tommy, I am so glad all is well. We have been thinking real hard of going to their event at Maple Grove and September 19, we both really like their program. Thanks again, and congrats to all who made it such a great show and experience.

Here is the shot of the final.....I gotta tell you, as a dad it was absolutely thrilling for me to be there and see it...even if I was Kyle's first victim....

Thanks, Tommy. I have to tell you, as a dad (and I know that you're one) it's a great thrill to see your son do as well as he did, especially in his chosen class of NSS. I don't know who was more thrilled, him or me. It's flattering to know that others were pulling for him, too. He's a good kid.(Well, not exactly a kid anymore, but forgive my transgression).
Doug and Bob elected to run the regular Beaver program, as they are involved in a pretty tight points race. I certainly understand the decision, but they are great NSS racers, too, and a benefit to every program. Our pal Ron McClelland with the Bud's Auto Sales Hemi took out Craig Baumer in a close one...I gotta tell you Craig is some kind of tough!!! He's a great guy, and does a good job. Ronnie beating him was a real accomplishment.
I saw your rig pulling out on Friday evening, and went over and talked to the driver (your dad, maybe?) and he told me someone was ill. I just wanted to make sure everyone was OK.
That .400 tree is tricky, and I really like that dialing with a zero, and not being able to change your dial once the program starts. It makes it a bit more challenging, and incredibly fun. A great group of guys....you guys will see us again soon. Delaware is a bit of a haul, but perhaps at MG.

I have a question I would like to ask. I was told in order to run the N/SS class you had to have a name on the car ?? I like my car just as it is and wont put stickers or a name on it so does that mean I could not run in your N/SS class as I see the red 64 dodge has no stickers or no name on it ? Or was I misinformed ? Thanks , Ron

Again Bob and Doug thanks a bunch! I had a good time...never thought in a million years the car was running that fast..i shaved 5-6mph off and it still ran under! With dad and the rest of the crew helping it was a good time.
Ron-If you look close at the pic i have the SS/A designation stickers on each roof pillar and they fill up the painted part of the pillar. I do have big lettering ordered for the doors but it wasnt in before the race. They said the SS/A lettering was barely enough to squeeze in for that race but next race it must be fully lettered (which it will be).
Oh yes I see it now. Thank you for the response and explaining the rule. Ron

Ron, your car is so clean...I can see why you don't want to letter it up. Perhaps some limited lettering?
But, if you would, I guarantee you would not regret doing it to run that 422 deal. It is a terrific program....I'm on the bandwagon.

Thanks Steve.  My brother has been racing some with the 422 club driving this Max Wedge car owned by Danny Jones. But he just got his 64 ready and plans to run it the rest of this year at some 422 races. He is Gary Nies and his 64 Plymouth is blue. He had the Name "Blue Fury" put on it and just got it running this weekend as he wanted to go to the Friday race at beaver Springs but did not make it. I will most likely be at a few of the 422 races with him but without my car. I did run my 63 once last year when the Naturally aspirated club was running that dials every 1/2 second but I dont see them running with the 422 club this year. Ron
They were running AMI at MIR when I went.
