I just want to thank Vince on the job well done putting everything together for this show. Your dad would be proud of you. Thanks to all the sponsors and people that supported him in this race. Thanks to PPMS on hosting the event. Thanks to Shawn Hooks and the Homak Penn Ohio Prostock series. Great job on this series long over due. Curt Bish

Crazy reading through the list of who was there. Some bad fast cars from front to back of that field. Pretty stiff competition on a track that's tough to get ahold of. So happy for Vince and for the penn ohio series to get such a great turn out.

There were many fast cars.   I was really impressed with Shawn Fawcett in the #224.   I don't think I had ever seen him race before, and I don't believe he had ever been to PPMS.    Since he is from Albion, I assume he probably runs at Raceway 7 and Eriez.   He was fast all night.  Kudos to all involved for a great race.

Flash- you are correct, first trip to PPMS.  Met him in the pits for the first time, super nice guy.  I asked him what he thought of PPMS on Facebook and he told me "it was fast!!!!" haha.

That was a great race Vince!  We had a great time.  The race gets bigger and better every year.  Brian did a great job on the track prep.  I hated to see the W1 lap car destroy McDonald's car and put him through the fence.  I didn't see what happened to Gearhart but at least those were the only 2 serious wrecks.

I agree.... I do the group qualifying to put the slower/newer guys in the back to be easier on equipment so stuff like that doesn't happen.  But you can only do so much... I felt really bad for him and he was a nice guy who really enjoyed PPMS "while it lasted".  But to your point- 47 guys were there, and only two wrecked.  Track was fast all night long, crew did a great job repairing the pole and lights.  Really happy where this event is headed.

If you're getting lapped in a heat race on that size track, it's the drivers call to just pull it in. Can't turn people away but most racers that run a special like that are smart enough to stay out of the way if the situation calls for it.

Cleet- it's pretty tough on some of those cars to run more than 20 laps on a track that big.  Most of the stuff is still stock, and the bigger motors tend to get hot.  I think 17 laps was cool but too short.  20 seems right.

Thanks Danny- and thanks for those stickers.  Funny thing is- I already was thinking about the ole Pennsboro days where they paid a bonus for longest distance traveled for the race!!
