We ended up having a great race. Everybody there had a great time and we all got to put faces with names and get to know each other. We had 10 cars show up with one breaking before the actual race so 9 cars were entered in eliminations. We had 4 cars that broke something within the last week before the race. We had another 4 cars that confirmed they would be there and didn't show for reasons unknown. If those 8 would have showed it would have been a full 16 car field but thats how it goes, nothing you can do about it. It was really really really HOT and that plagued all of us. Added to that I think every car there was having some sort of issue with their car that was not allowing it to run to its potential. For us it was the trans/converter....it wouldn't even let us do a burnout! I don't know how the car still ran 5.60s without even a burnout and wet tires but it did. Luck was def on our side. Anyway, here is how everything ended up.....


1st round:

Tony Russo(n20mstr) def. Scotty Wilson(Dustedu)
Phillip Rose(sixpakx) def. Jerry Mathis(Lifesgrt)
Robert Loder(Rossio)(fasterdart) def. Wayne Smothers(Big Squeeze)

Bill May had the bye run

I just wanna say thanks to everyone that came to the race and supported our efforts. I also want to appologize that we weren't able to be more organized about everything. I completely underestimated how difficult it was going to be to try and run the race and participate at the same time!!! We were having problems with our car and everyone there just fell right in with us and helped us get it going. Every racer there honestly would give up the shirt off their back to help one of the other fellow racers!! It didn't matter if you needed a part, tool, advice, or whatever everyone was willing to do whatever it took. Special thanks to Scotty Wilson and his dad for helping us change the plugs on our car in a rush. For those of you that don't know, thats no easy task on our car!

I learned a lot from this race and would do a lot of things differently. Maybe with what we learned from this we can make the next one even better. And to all the haters out there....well this site is a family site and I can't say what I want but you know what I mean!

well said

we had a great time running this race...just wish we had a little more.

got round sheets with timess? thanks

There will definetly be a race in Indy this year, and if the robbins want some help with putting the race back at Ohio Valley next year, i will help however I can

Definetly hated I missed it...sounded like a great time....maybe next time I won't have to drop out like the chump that I am....

I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Gary and Scott for putting this on and also a BIG THANK YOU to you racers that showed up. It takes dedication to put on a race as well as the racers to travel that far. So THANK YOU! Enjoyed meeting you all and putting faces to the race cars. Congrats Tony!

awesome,and looks like pizza oil on Tony Russo's shirt,lol j/k..and if im correct billy mays had the quickest car there according to time slips? damn ny fellas

I'm glad Scott had the event! Had to be mentally tough all together! I'd be willing to bet the next one will be bigger since the ball is finally rolling!!! Maybe add a couple "other" classes to bring in the mopar hobbyist and make it bigger and better!

We had a great time, although my car was a first round runner up........ ......Met Big Time Auto.....Great guy......His new nickname will be "Mr. Problem Solver"....Inside joke....

I got a chance to BS with Bill Mayes.....WOW that car is SUPER NICE.... I took quite a few pics of it......

Met DannyB........Nice guy.....We chatted quite a bit.......

Thanks, to Scott and Gary for wearing the Promotor's hats.....Two really nice guys that worked REALLY hard to get this deal done......

The race between Mayes and the gold N/A Dart was AWESOME!!!.......Mayes lost by .001 and was coming on like a freight train.....Mayes had something like 13MPH on Russo's car.....

I just now got a chance to downsize my pics so here they are........
