Congratulations to Ralph on the win. The points will come in handy as he will be on a cruise during our next race. Good job getting it done today.

Korreck did an excellent job coming into the "jungle", new state, new track, new people and doing his job both on the bottom end .005 in on round and on the top end...taking out Farley by .0007 and no I did not stuter it was 7 ten thousandths going brake tap to brake tap with the king himself.

Simply awesome to watch

Ralph and Chris' friend took some video today and we will have that up as soon as possible.

That made my job easier as I only have two videos.

Ralph Savarese vs. Bob Korreck Final this is about 5 mb and a lesson in tapping the brakes


Ralph Savarese and Bob Korreck return this is about 5 mb and show of good sportsmanship

Congrats to Ralph and Bob. WOW, Ralph passed everyone in points? What a day, I felt like a punching bag. I went home ate dinner and raced in the Pro Dial. I got beat up in there too. One time shot, Qualified #2 with a .021 on a Pro .500 tree and my car decided to run fast 1st round. I broke out by .02 on the brakes. Uggg "Thats Racing"

The Panuzzo race. OH MY, I thought that was close till I lost to a .0007 in the semis. Bob was on and off the brakes ran a 13.32 on a 13.25 dial shaving off a whole lot. Hmmmmm??? Holding 2 or 3 (Tenths) I tapped the brakes twice real quick just to shave a couple hundreds. I just came up a little short.

MOJO, OH MOJO. Where does he get his MOJO? In time trials he had a .000, .001 and then red. Who has been praticing on a pratice tree??

Good job to Ellis with his borrowed toy. Made the best of what he had. I give him a lot of credit to learn a car on a race day. Ellis was running the Time shots and CC to get the extra seat time. I am also glad he listen to me for some free advise.
