And that's a wrap! We finished up the Season under the roof at NewRed and there was no rain though we were asking for it just to cool things down! After it was all over I found out somebody had a radar gun and the smaller cars were doing anywhere between 41 - 45 mph on the back straight. Another bullet point was we finished 2 rounds in 3.5 hours. That's mooovin! The action in 10.5 Late Model was tight, 0.6s separated the top 3 in qualifying. Anyways on with the Top 3.

8th Scale Late Model - Rick Long, Mike Martin, Gary Sprinkle
EDM/Truck - Tim Harper, Cody Harper, Nicholas Bailey - Tied for 2nd but Cody had more 1sts
2wd Late Model - Larry Rarer, Mark Mosher, David Mosher
4wd Late Model - Ray Barker Jr, Floyd Holton, Rick Long
Sprint - Larry Rarer, Mark Mosher, Troy Pirez Sr - 3rd by 1 point!
Stock Car - Dale VanCuren, Greg Derenthal, Curtis Book
10.5 Late Model - David Mosher, Christian Ginter, Larry Gross

Points are updated including any tie breakers down to 3rd places. Remember any ties are broken by the most 1sts, most 2nds, 3rds and so on.

Already we have begun working on making the Series better for next season. We have hired Karen, the timekeeper from Lil Dover, to be Race Director. The Series has purchased a laptop to run the racing on. That should keep things consistent and allow track owner/operators to race too! Other items are on the table and when those things are finalized we will publish those updates.

The Series Banquet will be on July 27th (2pm) at Quaker Steak and Lube in Clearwater. All awards, raffles and prize money will be given out there. Show up, have some late lunch, enjoy the comraderie and even if you didn't finish well you still have a chance at the raffles. All our Sponsors have donated goodies. They support us in this way and we support them throughout the year by thinking of them first when we make our shopping list.

We have some FDOS hats available for $15. Here's a sample of what they look like.

I would also like to remind you about our Sponsors. Without them many of you racers would walk away empty handed from the Series Banquet.. Don't forget our sponsors from the past, they have helped us along the way and we can't thank them enough either.

Check out the Gallery provided by FloridaDirtOval.Com (Larry Rarer) for many pics taken by Kevin Lane (again!). Click on the Sponsors at the top of the screen for all our friends and once there you can click on the image to visit their website.

Please support those who support you. Your Local Hobby Shop/Race Track, our Sponsors, your friends and competitors. Without them who are you going to race, what are you going to race, and where are you going to race it?
