[Need For Speed]

The craziest thing I saw was at Waynesfield.

T-Mez drilled the round bales at the start of the guard rail in turn 3, on the first lap of his heat race, did a high flyer, landing right side up as he rips the traffic light off of the fence. Comes out for the B and starts last, and wins it. He starts 19th in the feature, and ROMPS his way up to 3rd with 2 laps to go in the 25 lap race, then tags the guard rail in the center of 3-4, and gets a flat RR...still ends up 7th.

He was flat out driving Hazen's 57 like he stole it!!

#1 Seeing Fishburger sitting in turn 2 stands watching Lucas Oil Late Models, wearing his elvis disguise outfit.
#2 I was driving the tractor with the lely attached, Tim Johnson was in the water truck coming up the frontstretch towards the track entrance where about 60 late model teams were seeing what we were doing to the track. Tim turned on the side sprayer just as he was next to the entrance, soaked them all, I was laughing so hard, i could'nt see a thing from the tears. Its one of those....you had to be there moments.

MSCS show @ Haubstadt between Brady Short & BC side x side for like 17 laps never touched a wheel.

Craziest, which I can't believe nobody has mentioned yet, was Shane Hmeil at Kokomo. He takes a huge flyer, lands on his wheels and drives off.

BC and Levi at Haubstadt for sprint week title.Hardest I have ever scene those two drive ever.Title comes down to those two and they settle it wide open.

#2 Brady Bacon and Hud Cone for 10 amazing laps for $10,000 at Kansas City.

Of course, there was no press release for that.

Cmakin, you just described what the Phoenix Race Fans experienced in March of this year. Manzy's race schedule was set for the year, sponsors secured, held their kick off race of the season with USAC Silver Crown, Sprints and Midgets, a month later WOO ran there and a month later they closed for good on Easter Weekend after 58 years.
Your post and Joe Mc's reminded me that Manzy closing was the craziest thing I ever saw in racing.

That would be the flip and wall ride I was talking about and I would have to add Whitt coming off of turn 4 about 4-5 cars lengths behind Faas and barely nipping him at the line. Chuck had that car hooked up at Kokomo all year

I would have to agree with the Niflis win at bloomington. He drove a heck of a race. Most exciting moment of the year.

the craziest thing for me was seeing 6 different sprint cars out of 24 get upside down at the gas city final. most exciting moment had to be the IRL race at Chicagoland and the gas city final sprint feature.
