Sounds Like a great time wish I could be there. Maybe I can make the 51st. Might try to see if I can at least make the trip to spectate for a day. Good luck to every one it should be a heck of a good time.

At the end of a full day filled with lots of stock/super stock action and a few test and tunes it came down to Jason Deforrest in his GT Camaro and David Picht in his D/S Mustang with Jason taking home the trophy.

Wow what a great weekend! MCR has been planning this race for a full year and it lived up to our expectations. First thanks to Ron Roddel and Jim Christensen for hosting the reunion at Wheelz in Brandon SD there was about 200 of the best class racers of the last 50 years of TVD attending. Next thanks to the racers and alumni who attended our 50 years of class race ( from past world champions to div champs to indy champs and a few teenage new comers) the heat was intense but the racing was even hotter. And how about the winners Jason Deforest over Dave Pitcht (sat) and Kelly Peterson over Rachele Tebeirt sharing in the richest payout in MCR history. Next Thanks to Charlie from Midwest Factory Finishes and John from Iverson Chrysler for helping to make this payout possible. Last thanks To the TVD starting line crew for working there tails off to keep a race track under us all weekend in the blistering heat. Well time to get to work on our next huge race The Make A Wish race in sept - stay tuned this one will blow you away!

78 cars and as Al Corda would say in the middle of nowhere. Who would have ever imagined Marion SD would have 7 more cars then the s/ss at the div 4 pts meet combined. Thanks to all the Racers that made this such a special Race. Thanks again John Mcleod

Thanks Chuck. It was a very fun weekend and really great to see you, Barb, Jackie and Mike. I spent alot of time in the stands in the 80's watching you guys race so it was extra special to be lucky enough to pull out a win with so many racers I grew up watching in attendance. I don't know what it is, but whenever you and Don Breen show up in the Dakota Territory, good things happen...

Re: TVD/MCR 50th Anniv. race and reunion
 

Congrats again Kelly, to see your car and the 71 Firebird (Axemaker & Reuland ) that I built back in the 70s still racing and still winning is incredible. Keep it up there are a lot more wins in that car. Don Breen p.s. had a great time being back for 6 days.
