Sprint Car Racing returns this weekend! Amen! Testify! Hallelujah
Posted by: | Comments
Sprint car racing finally returns, and boy howdy does it ever!
Tonight. You. Will. Go. To. Ocala.
The FMSA Border War gets started tonight and there should be a ton of cars with the out-of-state invaders coming in for the extra cash. Plus you’ve got Penrose Racing rolling out two cars, one for TBARA driver Hustlin’ Steve Heisler.
On top of that you’ve got the Top Gun Sprint Series with our own Factory Driver Flyin’ Ryan Partin locked in a dog fight with Tim George for the top spot in the points battle. We should also see some East Bay regulars like Jeanette Burnett towing up this weekend. Also be on the lookout for some of the Otto Sprint Car Association runners like Mark Ruel Jr. to be in competition.
Will Gene Lasker return? We’re not sure, but hearing the following should be there – Tony Agin, Mike Schroeder, Danny “The Hammer” Martin Jr., Tim & Brandon Grubaugh, Darrin Miller, Coty Smith, Christine Auld, Harley Zimmerman, Troy Knowles, Rich Alexander, Rich Pratt and Rocky Sullivan.
Saturday. You. Will. Go. To. Volusia Speedway Park.
Why?
The whole circus from Friday night slides on over to VSP, that’s why.
That’s a dramatic return of sprint car racing to Florida! As dramatic as this, we’re not sure…

Quick Notes on a Sunday Morning.
Posted by: | Comments
Doc and "Double G" Gary Gimmler know how to look good at the track.
Down at Punta Gorda Speedway the Checkered Flag Sprint Series (EJICFSS!) brought the noise once again and this time it was Jimmy Alvis, Jr. bringing home the win. Congratulations to “Little” Jimmy!
More important to note is that one of our t-shirts for our Safety Guru Scotty Adema was spotted in the wild, and was actually captured on film! Well, technically it was captured via cell phone camera, but we’re not going to split hairs here. And one of our absolute favorite drivers “Double G” Gary Gimmler is in the photo. Double score!
Heat wins went to David “Nothing Rhymes With” Slawiak, Scotty “The Flying Fireman” Adema and Jimmy Alvis Jr. For the feature, Jason Bradford and Brian Riddle made up the front row, followed by teenage hard chargers Channing Conley and Amanda Ferguson. But when it was all said and done, the man on the outside of row three took home the checkers.

For the “Fast” Freddie Stutz Memorial Race, ten TQs signed in for the night. On lap one the #17 car took a hard lick, going side over side about seven times. When everything got squared away Ted Durfee came home the victor. Everyone’s favorite 78 year-old Jack Duffy came home third.
Up in Indiana, Mother Nature won. But Travelin’ Troy DeCaire did win a heat race and Joey “The Ace” Aguilar was ready to start the feature on the pole, but it wasn’t meant to be.
Over at East Bay, it was a vision of days gone past as Sport Allen took home the win, followed by Travis Bliemeister (making his first start in more than two years) and Tim George. The tech shed once again claimed two victims – Danny Jones (weight) and Kerry Gilbert (carburetor), which makes us wonder what’s going on with tech’ing the carbs over there.
Heat wins went to Sport Allen, Tim George and Tony Agin.
Friend of the website Gary “Walk Quietly But Carry A Big” Johnson snapped the photos below. Gary gets bonus points for snapping what is for us the very first posed picture of none other than “The Flying Mullet” Gene Lasker. Gary also gets extra credit for describing Lasker’s wreck as seeing Lasker’s car “up on the turn 3/4 wall, the right tires were rolling on the wall, with the left ones on the cushion, like some kind of Joie Chitwood stunt gone wrong.”
Enjoy.
