Third batch.

Final batch. I think that I got everybody. Am told that a few more racers are expected to show up for Sunday

I hesitate to post this photo of the red 1965 Chevelle. It was a tough day at the races for the two guys that brought it out today. On the first pass the car sheared off ten wheel studs when it left the line.

Great photos Doug! You expertly captured the high flying action today due to the mineshaft weather conditions! A lot of great launches and wheelstands!

Congratulations to Ryan, Ed and their family on the win and to Kyle, Brad and their family on the runner up today.

Thanks to everyone for their cooperation. A lot of the same on Sunday with 51 degree high, partly sunny and cool day with no chance of rain.

We are looking to re-live some magic from one of our first combo races when we had a heads up SS/FM match race between Ed Matsko and Dr. Watson. For the first 2 “mutually agreeing” same class racers who want to run a heads up match race, we will pair you up in a time trial for $100 to the winner!

Thanks to the Terry Knott family and crew for the special anniversary and birthday cakes for the Carr family! Come and join us for a slice Sunday.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep and See everyone there!

Carl Schodde Jr.

Two great days of Class Racing. It was a lot of fun spending time with Mike and Wendy Carr again after all these years. Also fun working with Carl Schodde Jr. and I got to meet, and work with, another of the many fine people in drag racing,Ronnie Dicks. Although after swapping stories with Ronnie, we both agreed that we crossed paths somewhere during our many years of drag racing involvement. Many thanks to all the staff at Mason Dixon Dragway for giving us a place to hold a race. I spoke to Elmer after the race and it was decided that this race will be on the schedule again for next year. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I did.

Almost forgot, congratulations to Jim and Scott Henderson for their career best run of 10.97. Even thought they broke out and lost they sure had big smiles on their faces after finally breaking into the ten second zone. How cool is Class Racing when some guys are that happy even though they lost?

Just got home from Mason Dixon and wanted to say what a great weekend it was. It was a real pleasure to meet Mike and and his Mom! Jim and Scott Henderson have been trying to get me to go to this race for years, stupid me didn’t go till this year. A lot of great racers attend this race, everyone I spoke to made you feel like they knew you for years. Mike, Wendy,Tom and Carl did a great job of organizing this event. Hats off to them !!!

It was a good time this weekend. A HUGE thank you to Tom Lang and Carl Schodde for all their help this weekend and to Ronnie Dicks yesterday. I appreciate you and thank you all SO much. The car counts were a little disappointing but that happens. I guess you know a race has grown so much when you are kinda disappointed at “only” 38 cars on Sunday. Also a big thank you to Robert Pare for putting $500 into the Sunday purse. We paid 2000 to win and 1000 for RU with no other outside money. Thank you to the racers that did come out and raced with us this weekend
