Jeff your track looks awesome ! A impressive lineup of cars so far. My cars left California at 5 PM yesterday I just made it to the post office before it closed. Could you please add me a PSO car to the Shark Tank. I had to throw a old 79ish Corvette body on it because the body I was working on wasn't turning out so good. So I have my Willys 4GO, The Corvette PSO and My Head Hunter Camaro and Pure Hell AA/FA for the bracket race. Really looking forward to the first race of the year and looks like it's going to be a good one. Good Luck to everyone entered. Thank You Jeff for hosting the race.
Rick

Track looks great Jeff, like the second monitor. Here is a preview of the upcoming action. This was one of the PSO races at the last event running for the top spot. You cannot get much closer than this with a win margin in the thousandths. First run was a red light so it was re run. Notice that the Corvette holds a slight lead up until about the 1/8th mile where the 57 Catches up and takes a slight lead at the finish. Here is where you need electronics to see the difference as they look side by side on the track.  Nosub vs D632, red light times

Nosub vs D632, timesMan those two cars are fast. I guess I'm going to have to do a total rebuild on my List cars after this race. They are not running up to par at all. I have a couple more days to try and wake them up. I heard from Nosub a couple of times and he said he was sending a race team, but I haven't gotten confirmation on that. I hope his cars show up. |

The cars started arriving last week with the first through the gates being Clive aka Mazda all the from the UK. We acknowledge the extra effort that has to be made by our International racers to participate! Mazda wanted to get some early hits in before the track gets crowded. The Cheetah and Camaro are the Bracket cars. The super clean 350Z Hornsby is a Match racer. Welcome to Bear Creek!
A few days later Clyde pulls in from Colorado with a couple of Bracket cars. They unloaded at the start line....gassed up....and started making test runs. That Falcon looks like it hauls the mail. Welcome to Bear Creek!
The next teams started showing up last Friday. GTS has two cars in the Bracket race. A 57 Nomad and a wicked looking Vette. These guys were tired, driving all the way from Washington. Welcome to Bear Creek!
Not far behind was Gnome and his three entries. The 57 Gnomino is in the Bracket and he is in both Outlaw Shark Pools with the Challenger and Dreamsicle Monza. Welcome to Bear Creek!

 Saturday saw two teams wander in from the east side of the States. JLM Racing showed up early looking eager to get after it with their single car GTO entry. These guys look serious.
And shortly after noon the last hauler to arrive this weekend came through. Hilltop and his four cars picked out a nice shady spot in the pits for Grady. Hey why are those NTRA Officials looking at Grady? |

It looks as if you are going to be very busy getting the races underway. There is a very good turn out for the event.
That Bear Creek monument looks great.
