Congratulations to Scott Grossenbacher.

On the mic before the race he indicated he did not know exactly what they had due to a series of mechanical issues, so the win had to be a good one for the team.

Brad Bowman was fast qualifier but unfortunately drew a 7 car invert. He looked good, and appeared to be saving his tires while moving up, but was involved in a wreck and although the car was not badly damaged, he pulled in.

Mr. George Gorham was a large part of the show, and was tough as nails, as per his usual. He took about four laps to get by the #88. And although nothing major, roughed him up to get there. The 88 then immediately spun him out in three and was sent to the rear, and was not a factor after that.

Gorham was placed back up front, but had trunk lid and rear spoiler damage.

He was still strong, but the 09 eventually wore him down and passed on the outside. Gorham eventually faded to third.

All of the support races were also good, and Becca Monopoli looked good all evening, as she usually does.

Yoho was also up to his usual antics, and at least one competitor suffered the “wrath of the cone” and went from the pole to the rear before the race even started.

The track, the cars, the Yoho… more than perhaps any other venue, you can typically count on a pretty good show if you make the trip to St. Pete.

ps–Also congrats to #54 Ryan Thompson, Jr., who won the Street Stock event. He was up on the wheel against tough competition. Both he and the car reminded me a little of the way the Mason Love red Monte Carlo used to look.

pps–Jessie Dutilly, Wayne Anderson, and (why not?) David Rogers…wish you could have been there.

All that and not even a mention of Yoho revealing he is indeed a conehead.He stuck the cone on top of his head just before one restart.I just knew he was from outer space.Grossenbachers win was well deserved
He is one of the cleanest wheelmen in the state IMO and his car showed just that at the end of the race as that freshly painted body showed no marks on it I could see.The only down side of the evening was a couple long delays for accident clean ups and a long delay for a medical emergency in the tower which made things wrap up around midnight. That and when I was leaving there was a solid line of traffic coming into the dragstrip that really backed up traffic trying to leave the oval track.Hopefully once the construction gets completed out on Ulmerton road they can find a better way to separate traffic for the two venues.
