"Live From" Class Racer Nationals

Ken Miele · 07-30-2021, 10:04 AM

Hey everyone, well its finally here... the Class Racer Nationals. The weather for this weekend looks great, mid 70's for Saturday and Sunday, mostly sunny.

Lots of rigs stayed here after the division race, so there are no lines to get in, it should be a smooth day today. Also there is a test and tune from 10 to 4, $30 how can you go wrong. Numidia is such a great place to race.

A few notables... Jason Line is here along with his cylinder head guy Dan Blabolo. Dan was here last year and he had a blast, we are happy to have them both. Robert Pond from division is also here, man what a tow.

Below are a few shots of the Checks, Trophies and the coolest tumblers you ever saw. Cody Phillips from Phillips Auto Body did a rush order for us and they are just killer.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of reports, lots of running around to do. We tried youtube live stream, but as always there was an issue. We are on facebook live now..... https://www.facebook.com/pages/categ...9441468406709/

A few shot from yesterdays test and tune...

I do have a cool in car camera with Jason Line, I'm hoping to have it edited and posted later today.

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of reports. I just don't have the time. We are in the 4th round of Stock and Super Stock. The 2nd chance race is running now and Top Stock will be out for their first qualifier next.

I can't thank the racers enough that came back along with they guys and girls who just wanted to race the Class Racer Nationals.... your guys are the best. We had free coffee and doughnuts this morning and everyone has been so great to deal with. The weather has been great, low 70's, a very pleasant day.

I will have photos up later, Doug Walker is here and he will have his great actions as he always.

The _______'in Hawaiian! The ever colorful James Perrone is always fun to talk to with his eccentric personality and cool 1969 Chevy Nova. James is high volume all the time and the same goes for his 350/255hp combination with a McClay Metric 200 transmission.

The cylinder head mastermind behind the KB Racing and Line Performance Dan gets out to drive his own very fast Buick once in a while. Partnering with Jason Line, Dan can run way under the D/SA index and the car turn heads in the process with the beautiful Travis Hess paintjob.

Any D3 cars out there ?

The former Pro Stock and Stock Eliminator champion has returned to his roots to not only put on big money Stock and Super Stock races, but to support and compete as well. His C/SA Buick with a 455ci motor ran Top Stock at this event despite being 200lb heavy for the class and really put on a show by almost winning the race.

Stock Eliminator $5K Winner Tom Russell bangs the gears to victory in his 396/375hp stick shift Camaro convertible! Tom's father purchased the car new and made it a race car shortly thereafter.

Saturday morning super stockers - 1st batch

Ken Miele · 07-31-2021, 09:35 PM

Thanks Doug, great work.

Stock Winner Tom Russell, took out James Vignogna in the final.

Super Stock, Bill Ryan and Dan Fletcher, two great friends decided to split the final so we have co winners for the Super Stock final.

James Vignogna took out Dan Fletcher in the runner up run off.

Barry Parker took out Bob Moran in the Top Stock final. It was a great race, Parker went 9.92 to Moran's 9.94. Hats off to these guys, true Top Stock competitors.

The 2nd Chance race went to Herbie Null, Null took out Shane Oakes in the final.
