Sorting things out after the season...

Judging by the dwindling number of message board posts on all of the racing boards people have shifted into post season mode. That's my situation right now too, I'm kind of taking a little break from being absorbed in racing. Well, not exactly a break as I'm busy with a writing project. Tonight I'm trying to locate a couple of old "Race Show" DVD's with a specific driver interview that I need a quote from. Those darned DVD's were sitting here on my desk, not just for weeks but for a couple of years and now I can't find them. Who knows where they ran off to...

A week from Saturday (25th) the first UMSS meeting will be held at the Settlement just north of Somerset at 11:30am. I'm looking forward to seeing what everybody has to say about this deal and how much interest there is. I'll be writing a lot more about it over the off season.

Well, I better see if I can figure out where that DVD went. Later.

NAVY DAVY'S SHOT OF THE WEEK!!!

".........the tracks are all silent now. We closed our '08 season at that little three corner bullring known as Tri-Oval Speedway for the "Great Pumpkin Races.On an unseasonably warm night the action was hot. Three Superstock drivers going for the Wissota National point title were there. Ross "Roscoe"Dixon finished third in the feature and takes the title back to Ramona South Dakota. Bob Timm won the USRA Mod feature. Also on hand were Streetstocks, Midwest Mods, Vintage cars, and Hornets. A scary moment near the end of the Hornet feature saw a nasty roll over. They had to call in the Fountain City F.D. to extricate the driver from the car. It was a long night with many yellows but the racing was good. It was great to see all my racing pals for one last time this season. Mean Gene, Hoosiers Up, and of course Zimmy. Talked with a lot drivers and fans and had an enyoyable night. Even Zimmy found a new freind. See you at the races in 2009......."

NAVY DAVY'S SHOT OF THE WEEK!!!

".....we made our first trip to Deer Creek Saturday. It was a beautiful Fall day. The racing at "The Creek" was pretty good. The Midwest Mod feature was won by about a foot by Al Wytaske. Close racing all night long in all classes. Bob Timm won a hard fought Mod race, Ross Dixon from Ramona South Dakota took the national points lead over Curt Myers by one point by winning the Superstock feature. Mike Prochnow made it look easy in the Late Model feature. Redetzke and Brent Larson had a great race for second. Larson got the spot. At 9:30 the races were over and they played "I did it my way" by Ole Blue Eyes as we all left for the last time in '08. This weeks shot is th of a fierce battle in the Mod feature. See you at Tri-Oval next Saturday for the final races of the '08 season................"

Got out of the blogging habit

I got out of the blogging habit the past few weeks so I'm going to try to get at it more often now that my season is over. The last race around here is the Tri-Oval and as of now I don't plan to go but that could change before the end of the week. It will depend on the weather and what the family is up to. I've got enough cash left over from this weekend that I could do it so we'll see.

Right now I'm recording the 'Dega Cup race on the DVR and am working on some photos. I'm not in a rush to post my Outlaw photos on gotomn because I doubt that anybody from the WoO is going to look at the website of some hack way up in Minnesota. The WoO used my victory lane photos from NCS and Princeton on their website and that was cool. It was an honor to know that people world wide will see my pics. In addition to using my photos I noticed that the Outlaws stayed at the track to greet the fans and that left a good impression on me. I've talked to the people at a couple of the tracks and they all tell me that the people running the series now are a pleasure to work with. That's a good thing and I'm happy to see them taking some positive steps in that direction.

I've got to do some photo editing and a few other things but I'm going make an effort to post here more often. By the way, what classes were they running at Tri-Oval? LOL
