NHRA Summit E-T Division 7 Finals
Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, CAWednesday, September 26, 2012
Here are the photos I took at the NHRA Summit E-T Division 7 Finals at the Auto Club Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, CA. last week. We had a ball! Would have liked to have done better...lost by thousandths twice...but did make the top 16 (out of about 145 sportsman racers) in the Run For The Money Race on Friday night. Vinnie Scherch from the Redding, CA. team also made it finishing in the Semi's and pocketing some extra cash! I did click off a perfect light (.000 RT) the first time down the track...could have used it later on.
Food was great...BBQ burgers...Spaghetti...breakfast burritos...it just doesn’t get any better...a big thanks to the Team Sacramento folks...and “Team Mom” Susie Warmouth. It was great and to top it off Sacramento Team’s Mike Spellman won the Division Sportsman Title! Congratulations Mike!
And for those that know him...Mark Powers a well-known Santa Rosa race shop owner and general all-around good guy, was Runner Up in Super Pro...losing to a dragster and did equally as well in the Race of Champions on Sunday. Team Redding's dragster (Super Pro) team was the best look'n team at the event (mother driver/daughter crew chief)...and Craig Renke was their team captain.
