Even though I know the UMRA still has the best competition I would still like to say I beat Tate Martz, Kenny Byrge, and Jason Willis.ZACH COUGILL

Let me get this straight...You finished 5th, and you say that MTQRL has 3 or 4 of the front runners? What does that tell you? You can still have the chance of beating them. Our schedule is posted at www.mtqrl.com .

See you at the track?

As for Zach ladies and gents, lets not feed the trolls around here... mmm k?

As for the drivers, this is an awesome idea.

Lets not forget some of the USAC/Namars greats too...

-Jay Drake
-Johnny Hydenrich (spelling?)
-Ted Hines
-Tracy Hines
-Jason Leffler
-Ricky Shelton
-AJ Felker

Im sure there are a bunch others. Sandy, any help?

TQ racing, from what I can see, will be great once again, with large car counts and the west/east/south coast all coming together.

Sounds like the boys on the west coast want to come out and play.

Great job MTQRL for getting this together. Looks like rain tonight, but breezy tomorrow. Every body bundle up and bring a canteen of some hot joe to the stands with a good blanket.

Who's prepping the track? Let me know - need to get in contact with them.

Re: Salute to the Hall of Fame - Bettenhausen, Bigelow, Chassey, Dickson, Jones..

ok...wanted to give everyone an update.

95% of the water drained off the track last night. The rest should be gone today with the sun.

A little rain is expected tomorrow AM.....so everything is looking great.

Lets go racing!!!!!

That's great news, Mark! Looking forward to it...

Throw on Derek Scheffel and Jason Knoke. I believe there's about five track championships.
And Billy Puterbaugh -- four titles in two years.

As for Nelson showing at MTQRL races, remember this...Tony (Nelson's son) is Ronnie's sponsor. Nelson wil race where and when Nelson wants.

I would never bash Ronnie Combs he is a good friend, it was more of an inside joke than anything. As for the second part I know I can beat them, but with them not running with the UMRA that is not going to happen. What I meant by that comment was that I go out and I feel that I can beat anybody, just like any other racer, but when you don’t have all the top drivers running the same series then how can you feel satisfied with any finish.

I would like to see the UMRA and MTQRL get together at the end of the season and run like a MTQRL/UMRA Shootout. Then you could have the champion for both clubs and all the competition together. We could wear different colored streamers from or cages and see what happens, more for bragging rights then anything else. We could run at a Rushville or Greensburg and work out a deal for specs for the cars, sense both clubs are different.

Just an Idea!
