This weekend is Mother’s Day, well technically Sunday is Mother’s Day, which leaves you Saturday night to neglect her and go take in a sprint car race. Or better yet, buy her a t-shirt from East Bay as a Mother’s Day gift and show her she raised you right.

But you’ve got two choices for Saturday night – the big sprint cars at East Bay or the small sprint cars at North Florida Speedway, aka Lake City.

At East Bay the action has been hot and heavy with no clear driver dominating the action like we’ve seen in years gone past. Billy Boyd currently holds down the points lead over Steven Darvalics, Capt. Tony Agin, Jimmy Ballew and Kerry Gilbert. We also here Haulin’ Collin Cabre will be in the house once again, which of course means video goodness for the rest of us that can’t make it over to the Clay By The Bay.

You all know Kerry Gilbert right?

Ok, good.

Up north, the FMSA invades North Florida Speedway once again. Last time out Harold Matthews visited victory lane and only a fool would bet against Harold when he’s signed in at Lake City. Eddie Moss Jr. still appears to be leading the points and last time out the FMSA pulled one of the biggest sprint car counts we’ve seen all year, regardless of size or class, getting almost 30 mini sprints in the pits.

If you’ve been hankering for photos and video from last weekend’s Top Gun Sprint Series affair at Bubba Raceway Park by “The Jacksonville Jet” Matt Kurtz, then you’ve come to the right place friend.

Before we get into it, check this snappy piece of thinking by Mr. Kurtz. It was eventually to be removed by the request of Top Gun Sprint Series officials, but we thought it was a great idea.

Matt Kurtz is a crafty guy.

First up is international playboy Gary “Walk Quietly But Carry A Big” Johnson who took a boatload of photos while walking the pits.

Enjoy.
