Dirt Drag Racing Report #07 - 09 July, 2009

The races this past weekend were both Saturday and Sunday with the 4 wheelers competing on Saturday and the 2 wheel competition on Sunday. Every class was double elimination and you could sign up in 2 different classes. There were 41 registered bikes for 4 wheelers and 117 for 2 wheelers. The 250 to 350 2 wheel class had 25 bikes in it!!

The weather was great; comfortable and a little breezy. I would love it if every July weekend was the same. It was great to see Randall Merriweather enjoying the race. He was the flagman the first few years we competed starting in 2000. We had some friends join us that had never been before and really enjoyed the competition.

We had a great time on Sunday even with the CR500 shattering a clutch plate during the practice round. We had an extra set that went in a KTM and had to modify one to fit. It lasted a couple of rounds before it really busted the clutch. Jacob was able to come out on top in the Pushrod class with a last round win against 8 Ball.

There were a couple of bikes that came up on their riders but no real serious injuries. It was crazy to watch some of them!!

Congratulations to Paul Plummer, Jr. and the Foor Racing Team. I know they enjoyed taking the win in the Top Fuel A class!! That's what Paul Sr. and Jason get for missing a race!! Congratulations to Jamie Adkins for another 1st place in the 301 - 350 4 wheel class. I love to see a girl win and she does it with style!!

I have to thank Grant Smith for helping out with the photographs from the last race. They were some great shots. I have always submitted 12 to 15 but will up it to around 20 since it looked so great!!

The next race is August 16 with a rain date of August 23. Come on out and join the fun!!
