Bill McCarty


Gary Summers has some young help on his crew.
Congrats to Bill McCarty for the D/FS record. Met Bill at the Indy Points meet. He said he wanted to set the record, glad he got it done.

OTOH, the 78 Mustang just got a hit last week for the 1.26 under per the AFHS. Will this record initiate another hit? His car is running and mines setting in the driveway. Can't gripe, just need to get to work and get the car out, LOL!

Hi Robert, no AHFS hits at national opens, so you're in the clear.
Notice that both classes at BG had about a dozen cars -1.00 under, whereas the #1 qualifier at most national events and points races can only get to about -0.985 or so under.

Although the record from B.G. will not initiate the AHFS, I believe there will be another hit coming Tuesday for the U/SA-302 combo from the Topeka race.

Bowling Green is a great place to race! Congrats to Michael for his Nitro Plate race win! It hasn't been mentioned yet, but Alan Mackin also set a National Record. Alan set the N/SA record at 11.82 and 110MPH. Congrats, Alan!!!!! Alan and I got to run side by side, in the first 4 cylinder stock 11 second run. Alan went 11.82 and I went 11.92. That was fun!

Hey guys, sorry I didn't do any more posting on here from Beech Bend. It was such a beautiful weekend, I just sat around enjoying it all! Chris, Keisha, Aubrey, and Reagan came up and stayed with us too, so it was a really nice family getaway. They enjoyed going up to the amusement park and riding all the rides and playing at the waterpark, too. Congratulations to Matt Antrobius for his stock win and Ryan Richardson for his Super Stock win! And of course, congrats to Michael Beard for his big Combo win! And Jeff Colvert for his runner-up in Combo!

Here are a couple of pics that I did get on Sat.:

I had a TON of help from a BUNCH of good friends. I love my racing family! I very literally couldn't have done it without them. Almost missed second round when the starter buggered up and was freewheeling. Got it to catch at the last possible moment. Big thanks to Kevin Cradduck, Alan Roehrich, a gentleman whose name I didn't catch, and Ricky Baehr. Got by, and then barely got the starter changed in time for third round. THEN was just about out of gas, and there was no one at the fuel pumps. Greg and Andrew Hill jumped in to get me through. What a night!

Thanks again to NitroPlate for another big money S/SS race!
Yea dead on with a 0 going through the traps nearly side ways on two wheels just missing the wall, most everyone missed the exciting part.I herd a dragster dump a load of oil on the top before we ran, needless to say I had to check my pants after that run.
