managed to get 53% of the Dairyland Classic Presented By Revolution

Performance completed Friday night. A decent showing of fans bared the

weather and were treated to short track racing at its finest, with 41 pros

(including 17 National Numbers, featuring the defending seven-time

National Champion #1 Chris Carr), 4 minis, 14 amateurs, 8 Vintage and 13

Quads providing the on-track excitement. Kenny Coolbeth smashed his own

track record in his first practice session, setting a new record of

15.731s/76.282 mph on the 1/3-mile oval. Jop Kopp also broke the previous

track record with a 15.870s lap.

The digital transponders worked flawlessly, and we must issue our

gratitude to Glenn & Ann Curtiss for providing them to us and manning the

equipment. Glenn is eager to give it another go next year, so we will use

timed practice sessions in 2007.

We managed to get through more than half of our scheduled program on

Friday, so the event qualifies as "rain-shortened", not "rained-out".

This allowed us to pay the pro riders and issue the amateur awards based

on their heat race finishes. Obviously we would prefer to have completed

the entire event, but with the amount of rain we got Friday, we will take

what we can get.

Huge kudos go out to Dale & Kathy Baumann for their tireless efforts at

salvaging our track and pit area on Friday. Without them, we'd still be

there.

In support class racing, Kole King stole the win from Alexia Hoffman right

at the finish line for the 85cc Youth win, Jeffrey Carver won his second

consecutive 250cc Amateur crown, Art Mischler earned another Vintage class

win on his Triumph, and John Hundertmark claimed the Quad win.

We regret that the weather prevented us from allowing the spectators into

the pit area. We know that many fans were eager to meet Chris Carr up

front and personal (although I saw him enjoying a bratwurst earlier in the

day). I heard someone asked him what convinced him to come up to the

Dairyland Classic, and he replied "the food!" Chris struggled in practice

and the heat race, but he was charging hard in the semi. It was truly an

honor to see the #1 plate compete at Plymouth again.

Every Pro rider I spoke to after the event were adamant about returning in

2007 (except Carr, who must keep his future plans under wraps for now), so

I am confident that we will continue to draw most of the top pros to the

event. Kenny Coolbeth #31, Shaun Russell #28, Johnny "Showtime" Murphree

#20, Jethro Halbert #69, AJ Eslick #16 and Rob "Bugs" Pearson #27 even

attended the Extreme Motorsports Half mile in Beaver Dam on Saturday. Our

amateur/youth/vintage/quad turnouts seem to fluctuate drastically from

year-to-year, but we will continue to offer some amateur support classes

to fill out the program with diverse classes.

As always, your feedback is encouraged and most welcome. I thank you for

your patronage, and I hope to will see you on June 8, 2007.
