Check your math, Fern. 12:17 - 5:15pm isn't 7 hours. It *was* an hour behind where we should've been due to numerous breakages requiring a tow or a rollback. Even with that, we were on pace to finish, until Mother Nature stuck her nose in.

So the big winners on the Abruzzi 10K Finale of the Racer Tees American Doorslammer Nationals presented by McCarty Auto Parts, Inc. were the California Car Cover Best Appearing Car (Truck!) of Skip Briggs, the GIBBS RACE CARS & Performance Parts Best Engineered Firebird of Kyle B1gley, and unexpectedly... Mother Nature.

After completing the colossal 474 car Summit 10K Warmup and 539 car ATI 20K Main Event, 485 entries completed first round of the Abruzzi 10K Finale before a light mist that was absent from the radar halted the event deep into the second round. It's not the way anyone wanted to end the weekend, but Loose Rocker added over $4,000 to the total purse for the split.
Thank you to each and every racer, fan, sponsor, and staff member for making the World's Largest Door Car Big Money Bracket Race an unforgettable weekend!

I watched 85 90 % of the racing on motor mania tv and lots of nice wheel stands but none as nice and smooth and pretty as ******s Firebird congrads

And then there's the "Ron the Announcer Award", generally bestowed upon something funky, cool, radical, or off the beaten path...

Great Promoters, Great Format and Great Weather are a Great Recipe for a Great Turnout!

Congratulations on such a fine weekend and to all the racers who did well.

SL...

Michael/Anthony, again, great job this past weekend, well run race! You and your/the track staff were friendly and did an outstanding job.

Thanks again for choosing our car as the Best Engineered amongst 539 entries at the "The Largest Door Car Race in HISTORY!"

We are truly honored.

1290 I will say that your ride was impressive leaving the line. I was keeping tabs from the interweb.

ep-maybe I need some afco shocks

Thanks

Oh, c'mon! This thread is sorely disappointing! I expected this to really drive some traffic for Scott!


Next they're going to be sitting around a campfire together...

They announced the 3 day entry totals as 474 / 539 / 485, but I would be interested to know the total doubles each day as well.

Many beautiful Door Cars and I thought the Best Engineered Car choice was a Great one. Congrats Ed !!

And Yes, I attended making the 900 mile trip.

Watched all of the event on motormaniatv. Great racing event! Looking forward to the next one promoted by Michael Beard.

Thanks Mark

You don't have to wait long---Loose Rocker is at Piedmont this weekend with the traditional thanksgiving foot brake race. Same deal but foot brake only.
