For those interested, I wanted to post this update. It goes for the Curt George Memorial; specifically the Bud's Auto Sales Hemi Showdown.

further update ****This applies to the Hemi Showdown on Saturday, June 16***** The list keeps growing! Thanks to all for the support!!

In an effort to really hit the ground running for the Hemi Showdown on Saturday, all the Hemis running the Hemi Showdown will have the entry fee waived courtesy of Bob George Racing & Bud's Auto Sales.

I do but umm not the correct body type and I'm short about 82cu.in. but hey 4 wheel drive you won't have to worry about traction

LOL I had my Chrysler 300C Hemi up until a few months ago...but in the same boat wouldn't meet the class requirements.

Thanks Anthony.

If anyone wants the original pic from the album, I can email it

Bob we are painted like team cars. We will be back next week after a strong comeback effort by the crew. Everybody was on overtime this week, poor George had to wash it 3 times. Also I think Jon has been living at the Shop. LOL

I love that car and it is nasty fast.

JR if you ever need to take the day off from racing (if you're not feeling well, want to go fishing instead, lawn work that's getting out of hand, or just want to sleep in late for once, or ANY other reason), i'd be very happy to help you out and drive your car for you... I promise not to scratch it

argh... sad day at Thompson Raceway Park today, as a racer died in a crash... another driver injured but will be ok... thoughts out to the racer's family and friends and everyone at TRP

Just wanted to thank everyone at PRP for running a 1st class operation. Special thanks to Keith and his crew for their hard work.

Congrats to Ken Rhine for his win in top.

Thanks Barry and Chuck for your help in the final rounds. Sorry I didn't stop for dinner,I had to get home and feed the horses.

Congrats on the run to the final, Dale. Feeding the horses... what do you think we were doing at Kings?

Good to see Ron back at the track



Nice run to the Mod final Tommy. Cool '55 in the other lane



My bro and teammate Mikey made it to the semis

Congrats to Dave Dortenzo on the Mod win

Hey Chuck,
The one day I get to drive and you forget to post my picture! I thought I made an impression in my Santa suit! lol

Well, Santa, you don't have doors! And besides, you didn't bring me what I asked for for Christmas - good reaction times!

PRP points are updated.
GREAT job.
