July 5

Saturday started out on a sad note, at the passing of Buck Todd. For anyone who may not know, Buck was a big name within drag racing. But, on a more personal note for us- He is the father of our track manager- Bucky Todd, and of well know Alcohol Funny Car driver- "Super Brat" Monty Todd who was scheduled to run here Saturday. 
Please keep the family in your prayers.

Although this was hard to deal with, we were able to step up to the plate at the track & we had a GREAT DAY Saturday- I hope that everyone who attended agrees.  We had a few mishaps through out the race, and a light shower, but nothing could stop us. Thanks to Ben Willis and Mike Young for helping out in the tower instead of running the race as they had planned. Ben did a really great job filling in for Bucky to help get us through the race.  Mr. Pennington- who built the racing system used by us and many others- also was on hand to help us out. Ben, Mike, Mr. Pennington, Ashley and myself were able to pull it off- (although not as good as Bucky and Judy would've I'm sure.)
