Thanks to Jim Woods, Hammer, Gene and Trish from Lakeland Motorsports Park, Gospeed Chaplain Joe Sannutti and everyone else who contributed to making this special event! My brother Paul and I enjoyed hanging out with Reggie Winkles, Rusty Gillis, Gary Smith, Robert Hardee, Mark Ruset and so many other great people! Congratulations to winner John Boyer and runner-up Jay Slane. Great performances from a number of other racers including low qualifier Doug Patrick, Dana Summerton, Rusty Gillis and Rebel Kidd.

Paul and I are excited about this series and hope to have our car ready for the next one! We especially appreciate Jim Woods for his vision and his labor to make this happen.

I would like to add that was the most Fun I've had at the races in a long time. Congrats to the Mongrol and hope to see these races continue. Dana was shaking pretty bad after each pass but she is excited and ready for the next event. Her very first race and gets in the money and cuts a perfect light Wow!!! Tina says she is honored to help make this series a success. There was absolutely no difference in the race compared to a Lucas race except I had $ in my wallet when we left and it was a hour between rds. instead of 3-4. Can't wait for the next one!!!!!

I am really glad to see that this deal went off so well. I look forward to attending in the very near future.

Jim, where's your next idea ??

First I would like to thank Jim Woods for the effort that he has put forth to get this series off and running. Having a 28 car field at the first race is incredible. Thanks to all of the racers that attended the race. Congratulations To The 'Mongrel' for the win and to my great friend Jay Slane for a great runner up performance in his first final. Great job!!!!. I was contemplating retiring from superstock racing but after going to this race and realizing there is a future for this series I will be working toward getting my Camaro back together to support these events. Hopefully some of the other racers in the florida area that weren't able to come to this event will be able to get to the next one. I can see where we could have 40 cars at the next event. Every one at the event seemed to be having a good time. We need to get the message out to everyone.

Thanks to everyone that helped to plan, organize and run the event.

Mike
