Let's go Bucs!!

My money is on the Browns being better than the Steelers.....

Guys, the Steelers could lose every game this season, and we'd still be better than the Browns.

That's true. Especially when I see they just traded Trent Richardson away.

And it's not like their QBs have been awe inspiring:

You know Chuck, there is a reason they put a #2 on the quarterbacks in Cleveland and a moving expense stipulation in their contracts.

Good start to brackeet finals, just .0005 from a PRP hat trick:

Good-luck to all the PRP team members this weekend. Bring it home again.

I see blue sky and sun shine....

For Sunday, Ed. Entire race will be run on Sunday.

Congrats to Scotty and Amber for bringing home the win in the track operators race!

I just wanted to say what a great track you guys provided this weekend. Got to talk to many of the PRP folks and your track was fantastic. Thank you Greg Miller and gang for one of the best starting lines I have ever had the opportunity to launch from. Best 60 foot times and even got my old heap into the 6.90s on a breakout run on Sunday. Hated losing in the second with the better reaction and taking the stripe by .009 but breaking out by 0.011 to his break out of 0.007....but thats racing and that was a fine example of my entire season this year. Good job taking the title again, hope to see you boys a few more times next year.

Hope to see a few of you at Norwalk in October, please stop by and say "hey".

Jim, don't forget about out Halloween race. It's a very good time.

STEVE BUTLER IS THE MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what did Steve do?

I would love to and had planned to be there but it and Quaker's race is the same weekend. Unfotunately, I have to pick between the two and Quaker is only about 35 minutes from my house and I am buying tickets for my sponsors to their race...dont think I would have much of chance of them sponsoring me again if they were at Quaker and I was at PRP....Maybe next year.

Hey Mike - how did the rest of the team do? I would have thought Chuck would have posted by now...

Chuck is a little worn out.

Stev Butler did an awesome job, putting the exclamation point on the team win when he won the final final of the weekend, getting the Iron Man in Top. PRP racers did fantastic in every class: Kara Jo made it to the semis in Top. Mike Balaska and Mike Egan both made it to the quarterfinals in Modified, Balaska losing by .0003, and Egan by .008. Rick Clay made it to the semis in Street, losing a tough round to his cousin and class winner Bruce Tharp. Bikes did great, all 4 advancing to round 2. Beaver Springs is always tough in Bike, and our guys knocked out 3 BSD bikes, which is an accomplishment in itself. Matt Powell and Joe Devola both made it to the semis. All 3 junior dragsters won round 1, with Brandon Butler and Thomas Vasbinder making it down to 5 cars.

I never heard the official count, but I had the PRP score as 65 points, never heard which track was second, but they were 20 points behind. Congrats to Team PRP, everyone on the team worked hard for their spot and absolutely deserved to be there. And it's the 1 for the thumb! 5th team title in 7 years!

Before eliminations started, IHRA presented Greg Miller with a plaque, naming PRP the IHRA Division 3 Summit SuperSeries track of the year.
