this past weekend Mark hosted a stock/superstock and nostalgia race at Speedworld near Phoenix, AZ....There must have been about 300 cars and a couple thousand spectators...The race was a pleasure to behold for everyone......perfect weather....great track prep and most of all, a very entertaining show.....after years of watching the decline of local racing, im am encouraged...thanks again Mark !!!

Thanks, Neil. Good to see you out and about.
For some reason, I'm not allowed to talk about here. No one seems to want to tell me why ,either.
But that's okay. I didn't bring it up... You did, and thanks again . Glad you had fun...I know we did!

It was the first race I've attended in a year and it was impressive. Not just the S/SS race but all the cars in attendance. Car show had a good turn out of nice cars also. Band, flag drop girls for the nostalgia cars, lots of trophies, good food, had the entertainment covered! I've been racing at Speedworld since 1978. Can't remember having to drive around looking for a place to park before. Yes, it was that crowded!
Makes me want to get a big fire under the butt of my machinist...
