Mission Raceway Recap

Ron and Rick are correct on the winners and runners-up.

If we had an award for the highest wheelstand, Darrell Stobbe would have won it easily, darn near dragged the bumper. He had problems on Saturday but got them figured out by Sunday and went a few rounds.

Thank you to al the racers who attended our first 2 races of 2023. We got to see some old friends and make some new friends. The weather was perfect all weekend with mid 70 degree temps (22-23 Celsius) and a light breeze off the river. We had some really good, close racing as you can see from the finish line photos which are posted on our Facebook page.

A big thanks to Dave Jung and John Buczynski for sharing their pit spaces (and shade) with us all weekend. And a double thank you to Dave Jung for letting me borrow his golf cart when needed.
And finally, Thank You to Kevin Ness, Mission Raceway Track Manager; Shelby, the lady who makes the entire operation work smoothly, and all of the Mission staff. Those folks are great to work with.

And a HUGE thanks to my son, Mike, and his wife, Jillian, for all their help. Jillian manned the table collecting entry fees and handing out T-shirts. Mike took photos and videos, plus posted all the results. Thanks to both of you.

Hope to see all of you at Spokane on August 26-27.
