I can't wait til Friday now... since the Smokeybones Shootout is moved to Sunday, I am going to try to get out of work a little earlier tomorrow and try to qualify for it.

weather looks good for this weekend

Coming over, 82nhrata? If so, what are you running? Bring friends!

I forgot to throw a huge shout out to Ron McClelland. His Coronet is on page 38 of the December 2006 Hot Rod Magazine, pulling the wheels up nicely, in a shot from the York/US 30 reunion. Sweet!

Is a nice pic in hot rod, but think he may be done doing that after smushing the oil pan sat..the traction was incredible. Who ended up winning Sun elminations and the smokey bones race?

No-box - Singer, from QC, in the '64 Nova, lost to Carey Hodge from TMP.

Box - Rich Paton III in the dragster lost to Joey Coccia's '88 Omni from BSD.

Smokeybones - I went -.002 red in the second round, !@#$%%^*(_(**&)&%$%. At 5 cars, Josh Riestcha, Randy Duncan, Scott Campbell, and I can't remember who the other 2 are split, $400 each. They raced for the trophy, though I don't know why. If the split was already done, just draw a name/lottery it, and don't beat up the equipment. Anyway, Josh nipped Randy by .0062 in the final.

It sounds like you had a good weekend, Richy.
I was a much nicer weekend than what I expected weather wise. We didn't do very well, but had a good time anyway.

Some people say the reason we race is fun...could that have a hand in it? Maybe?

Hi Steve,

I had a really screwed up day that started by getting tattoed by Rich Paton Jr in Airship Camaro. Then the car wouldn't start in 1st round buyback, but got it running and forgot to take off the rev limiter after the burnout. Won the next round of welfare, to go on to the final. My lights ranged from .012 to .095, and had no rhyme or reason as to the outcome of each changing reaction. I actually think my 10 year old trans button might need replaced. The car was on the mark, which carried my lucky a$$ through!

It was a close final, but not close enough for me. I was .016 behind at the finish.

At least I got the dialed in for South Carolina in two weeks.

Congrats to all the winners this weekend, and to Russ and Allison Benish on their nuptuals!!!

Man that guy from TMP was one heckuva racer. I dont know about anybody else, but i know all of us up at our pits (buds auto sales pits) thought the program was run absoutely phenomenal this past weekend. Nice and quick, good track, program ran fast,it was really nice. We thought the staff this weekend did an awesome job.

And def congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Benish!

Mark-The word on the street is Kevin knocked off an 11.4something in your car?

Kyle, Yeah the word on the street is right, Kevin ran an 11.42 which was one of my greatest concerns. Knowing the car would run 11.40's with him in the seat I was afraid to let him do it knowing some sore loser or whiner would go and tell tech that the car didn't have a roll bar which of course did happen. Tech did say something and they also said that they understood why he was running the car and that it would be at most a 5 round race and they were not worried about it. So all in all it was a good evening with him going 3 rounds in a car he had never ran eliminations in before at all.

has anyone heard anything about the banquet yet?
i have been checking the site but all the links are gone at the top of the page.

I am pretty sure that the banquet is going to be at the Lamplighter in Delmont(next to the GetGo). That was the latest location that I have heard about. Not sure about the date.

I got to agree with you Kyle, the program went very, very well over the weekend, from what I saw.

Mark, is that with the Vortect heads? Are you looking at adding some pipe over the winter?


You could kind of tell it was the end of the year and eveyones junk was getting tired
(smoke and oildowns).

The car should be heading for a roll cage in about 2-3 weeks. Yes, that was with the vortec heads, I didn't change anything at all. I ran 11.59 so I was ok, it only went that fast with Kevin driving it. Almost 2 tenths for less than 100 lbs difference it was kinda wierd.

Hey everybody, congratulations to me. I won my swim meet saturday night! Thank you, thank you.

i just saw on beaver springs site that it was offically announced that PRP will host the 2007 div 3 bracket finals.
i wonder why it isnt on prp's site?

Tony, I think I'm even happier to have been at the wedding.

I'm sure PRP will announce in due time if it's correct. I can recall Bob spilling the beans earlier than he was supposed to on other things before too.

Yeah Bob does get a little bit ahead of himself sometimes I think.

Definately glad I was at the wedding after seeing the costume pictures on the website...lol.

HAHA Wow...talk about things you really didnt want to see, especially first thing in the morning...

Is anybody planning on going to the turkey race at Hagerstown?
