No lines of prose will ever take their place,
Mel Warford & Bill Bales, will be missed at this race. RIP!

Camo car's in the trailer, could the Warfish be bored?
Bayou intel saw him testing, in a Ford!

Sr's drinkin coffee and has an apple for lunch,
but for Storm Tropper power, he's got a bunch.

Running hot was a problem for Missouri Mule,
With Joey D & wife Sue, he should keep his cool.

New paint & driver for the car from Sanibel,
By way of New York, could raise some hell.

He's ran the most races this year of any AH in the place,
Gold Coast Hemi will be there with a smile on Dan's face.

They come ready to play from the North West,
Mike & Tammy Booker will be ready for the test.

Big Jim's been savin up to make a statement this year,
The Carriage Towne entry will make music to the ear.

Tony D's workin hard to get his car together,
New chassis finally done, should make the Honkin Hemi better.

TH will work HARD so as not to look at the sky,
But if it does go up, as a driver he's the guy.

Hardest workin crew around is the car from Jenkins,
Mario,Charlie & Mike keep the Perkins family peakin.

Just heard from the boys in Robesonia, there's a new Earthquake car,
Looks like Gary Wolkwitz is going to raise the bar.

He's always fast and with a smile on his face. (Maybe not after last years race aganist David)
This may be the year it's Jim D & sons race.

It's been 5 long years since we have seen Jake68,
When the green Dart shows, it'll worth the wait.

The MCH boys are always intent on winning,
But even an outing like Maple Grove will have them grinning.

Brad and Darin workin hard with VALV-AGRA on the dyno this year,
Spyphish will have something for the field when he hits 4th gear.

He'll be workin on customers stuff right up untill the last day,
But come Friday, David Barton and an Earthquake will be ready to play.

Hope ISAAC doesn't affect the NOLA boys a lot,
Sure would like to see the car of the bros. Paillot.

You'll know when the Challenge is called and what time,
Big Joe Tueton will be standing on the starting line.

Lil' Joe fresh off a big "WIN" at Maple Grove,
When the big orange truck pulls in, they unlaod in droves.
With a litle extra power from Ray,
Tueton & Hebert will be ready to play.

Tim Hebert almost won in Texas a few weeks ago,
His driving skills could make this one his "Big Go".

If the Militia power fires like a mauser,
We could see some rounds for Brooks and Houser.

I hope to see the flamed Dart all the way from Modesto,
Dave and Erik working hard to make it go.

He was workin hard to come and really came close,
Maybe next year we'll see Wayne Ramose.


With the entry list now hitting on 28,
You gotta see it this year, don't be late.
