I don't know if I would consider this the best day, but it was certainly one of the most memorable, for me. Someone might have to fact check the date, but I do believe it might be April 29, 2006 - Fonda Speedway. Jessica Zemken (now Friesen) started about 12th in the 360 Sprint race and they had a bunch of cautions at the beginning. The attrition due to the cautions was slowly getting her to the front. Finally, with some green flag laps, the race was on. When she took the lead, and eventually go on for the win, you would have thought that Lou Lazzaro (who had passed 6 years earlier) had just won another feature at Fonda. I hadn't seen a Fonda crowd get that excited, or go that crazy in a while. Everyone was pulling for her.

If you see a stopwatch in the upper right hand corner, then the times are sorted by fastest lap. If you see a 1-2-3 podium, then it's sorted by position. Something didn't get checked/unchecked when the link to Race Monitor was created.

The program that's used for scoring is, sometimes, a bit finicky. It has a panic attack if 2 cars have the same number in the system even though the transponder numbers are different. That's why when you look at Race Monitor you will see cars that normally don't have a letter attached to their number have a letter. For example, some tracks will have Stewie in the system as 44 and some as 44F. That's what happened here. Dan and Luke both had 97 as their numbers and the system flipped out.

The race at Airborne on Saturday was cancelled due to the weather. As for Malta Friday night... are they past lap 40 yet? I was concerned that I was going to run out of popcorn.

And Gasket does get the bonus points. It did go green to checkers. That was definitely one of the best d*mn pro stock races I've seen. (I may be slightly biased.... #prostocksrule)

While we're at it... Via the Friends of Hondo Memorial Society Facebook page... The Hondo Classic is a 29 Lap Pro Stock Race at the Legendary Fonda Speedway and pays tribute to the memory of the late Hondo Carpenter. Hondo piloted the #9 Pro Stock and was having a stellar season when it was cut short by an atv accident on July 4, 2005. Each year Pro Stock competitors vie for one of the biggest pro stock purses in the East in a showstopper of a race. You don't want to miss it. If you are interested in sponsoring the 2019 event, contact Kelley or Kaitlyn Keefe on this page or email HondoClassic@gmail.com

My thoughts exactly. They wouldn't have access to the Dome until at least April unless they aren't hosting any NCAA tourney games.

Here's the World 100 story about the win, the deal with the trailer, and the polish victory lap around Eldora. https://racingnews.co/2018/10/14/tim-mccreadie-did-a-polish-lap-with-his-little-trailer-after-winning-eldora-video/ And, oh, if you haven't seen the photo, Timmy's midget (and number!) for the Chili Bowl looks a little familiar. Think Dad!

There is a curfew at Charlotte and it's a hard one too. 11:00pm - no if, ands, or buts (I think because of that 3am talked about earlier). They ended up making this past weekend's Short Track Championship a Saturday/Sunday show because of the weather and that they had 9 divisions and over 400 cars.

Currently watching Friday's activities at Oswego on FloRacing.

So... with Time Trials rained out today, what are the options? Or are they slim to none and Slim's about to walk out the door?

August 21, 2010 to be exact.

I do believe they said Pat's last win was 2010.
