What a beautiful day in the park. Nearly 50 people showed up to enjoy some great cooking from Larry Iacoboni and some great side dishes brought out by our members. The junior race fans had a wonderful time with the Piñata from Cory and Steve Russell and playing the games that were led by Wild Bill Barnhart and I think Bill had just as much fun as the kids did. The adult kids joined in the fun as well and some of even got a ribbon for a job well done. If you haven’t attended one of these picnics yet, be sure to put the second Sunday of July 2011 on your schedule.

Another fantastic night for our re-scheduled visit to “the Track the Stars Call Home”! Jim Leasure and the Spartan Speedway crew did a great job this night with some exciting and close racing. Our helmet bag went to Earl “The Pearl” Miles driver of the #73 modified. Our member raffle winner was Vickie Baldwin. The new stands are just plain excellent for spectating and Big Ed’s new Penthouse is way up in the sky. Table Helpers were Al Peltier, Sue Ginter, Chuck and Jeffery Horan, Rose Calabrase, Doug Jakeaway and Al Clark. Many thanks to Jim Leasure, Bill Lackey, Ed Inloes, and the rest of the great staff at Spartan for a fantastic night of racing. Club members even got to see the President turn a few laps in a Legends Car too, but we won’t talk about that for now.
