We thought it would be nice to keep tabs on our traveling Florida sprint car drivers, so thus Reverse Carpetbagger News, wherein our drivers invade outlying territories.

Unfortunately the first bit of news is not good…

Bryn Gohn can no longer continue racing on his own and is in need of sponsorship or possibly even a ride. After his crash at Lincoln Saturday night, his equipment is now going to be idle. If you would like to contact Bryn with any information, his cell is 321-427-6902 and his email is bryn4b@yahoo.com. As you know, we really like Bryn, so this sucks.

After the wingless show this evening at OSW, Travelin’ Troy DeCaire is off to Fort Wayne, Indiana to run the HOSS race on Saturday. Troy too could use some sponsorship help to cover his travel expenses as he takes his game on the road. If you know of someone that could hep keep Troy on the road, hit up his website for contact information.
