A near record car count and a rare Sunday race day for race #2 of the Auto Max USA Bracket Series proved to be a lot of fun for all in attendance.

Speaking of news: the gang at Big Food served a new menu “item” at the event – TWO FOOT HOT DOGS!! Seriously! How do you top that?

Race winners included Katie Kapler in Jr. Thunder; Jordan Calhoun in Jr. Lightning; racing legend Don “The Worm” Elgin was the Sportsman champ, while Dan Funderburg, won Motorcycle; Ken Reaves emerged victorious in Pro. Super Pro came down to a coin flip due to the rapidly approaching “county imposed” cerfew.  Brandon Spitali won the “flip” and the points to go with it over Mark Cavar.

The only thing that marred an otherwise super weekend was the untimely accident that saw Chris Cannon Sr. crash his daughter Nikki’s beautiful Corvette Roadster, the good news is Chris Sr. is OK…which is the best news of all.
