Shootout Postscript
Welcome back, my fellow racers. With Lima two months behind us and Bloomsburg postponed due to flooding, the first annual Pro Stock/Pro Mod Shootout was for some us the first chance to race in some time. With a payout that exceeded the Nationals and an Outlaw Class to run, I was very happy to see the best that the Pro Stock Class has to offer were in attendance. I would like to congratulate all of the winners and the top 5 in each class. The winners were:
Pro Modified Cuts : Keith Mitchell (Mudgician) 2.151
Pro Modified Scoops : Eric Klos (Da Judge) 2.060
Pro Stock : Jason Massie (Possessed) 2.560
Outlaw - Rick Nagele (Insta-Gator 2) 2.392
As you can see from the times, all of the effort that the guys from Fast Mud Promotions put into the track was not in vain. There were some weather issues and some problems with the lights, but I have been assured that the latter problem is being addressed and should be squared away by the Harvest Home Fair race on August 26.
As for Mean Streak, our year of parts attrition has continued with some front suspension damage taking place on the second of our DOT passes at the Shootout. This did force us to scratch from the Outlaw Class, which was probably a good thing as the new wheelie bar hasn't been mounted yet. If you have seen the pictures from yearlier this year then you know what I mean.
One last thing all you racers should know is that the small profit that was made at the Shootout is going to be put back in the purse. I hope you all think about that when deciding whether or not to attend the next Fast Mud race. That's all for now. See you in Essex Junction.
