My 'bridesmaid' weekend...

I suppose you've heard the expression 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride'? Well, that's kinda how this weekend went for me...at least, when it comes to racin'!

This thread is, basically, me saying 'thanks' to both the racers that ran in the Bare Muscle 3 and the Firecracker 40 races, and to the people that put on the other races I was involved in...the Shorties race and the DCR July 4th Drag race!

The events that took place here in NJ were a lot of fun! JDC442 wrapped up a dominant series, winning both classes (I took 2nd in both points races)...Congrats again, Jim! And, the Firecracker 40 got started with Voxxer's two cars leading the way (I was 3rd behind them...see where the 'bridesmaid' comes in!). Good start, Voxxer.. I'll see ya in Maine!

MoHasFastCars hosted a round of the Shorties race and Track Surgeon took his (I think?) first win...Congrats TS! Paul finished 2nd and my little Gremmie had a little better day in 3rd (there's a theme here).

And then, on the 4th, I hosted the Sumner Nationals, combining the cars that I had on hand, the Hot Rods and the Muscle cars...and it was a really cool race. I could have never imagined that it would have come down to Voxxer and my hot rods, but it did! And Voxxer got me again! Congrats Jon!

And lastly, DCR put on a cool race over 7 days that ended yesterday. I felt that I was pretty lucky to last the event! My Spawn funny car went in to the last day tied for 2nd, only .01 out of first! But K&O's Chevelle had a great last day and took home the trophy! I came home 3rd! Congrats Keith!

So, that was 5 races over a weekend! I can't remember a busier time Diecast racing! It was really fun to be a part of all these races. Now, I think I need a nap! :)
