(Words and photos by Doug Gregory) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>So, how are you all liking our coverage\u2026?\u00a0 Told you I wasn\u2019t going to recap the racing because the Official SEGA photographers already took care of that.\u00a0 C\/Gas is last year\u2019s D\/Gas with the highest weight per cubic inch, but don\u2019t think that means they are slow or can\u2019t put on a show.<\/p>\n

A few stories here.\u00a0 One is John Gilligan hurt his bigger and more powerful motor so he stuck the one from last year back in his Penny Pincher \u201957 (the ruddy primer car) and never looked back.\u00a0 On paper it appeared his chances of advancing were slim since pretty much everyone had stepped up their game in 2018.\u00a0 Well he beat on that old engine like it was a dead horse he\u2019d brought back to life and got it to run a new best plus advance past the first round.\u00a0 Here\u2019s to driving your own stuff like a rental.<\/p>\n

Another story we heard about is how Jimmy Huff spun the Clevor in the Hoopty Wagon to 12k on Saturday during a break in the weather.\u00a0 How\u2019d they know he hit 12k\u2026?\u00a0 That\u2019s where the rev-limiter kicks in.\u00a0 Talk about having faith in your own work.\u00a0 Jimmy builds a mean bullet.<\/p>\n

The BIG story in C\/Gas is Larry and Sandy Noel\u2019s long road to an emotional winner\u2019s circle appearance.\u00a0 The best part of racing this stuff is more about being there, the people, and having a good time, but people still would like a win now and then to sweeten the experience.\u00a0 The Noel\u2019s are a great pair and the last photo in this collection will tell you just a part of why.\u00a0 That\u2019s Larry (white pants and blue shirt) sweeping the water out of a low spot on pit road.\u00a0 No job too small or too big.\u00a0 Later in eliminations I was walking by their pit and Sandy was standing between the tilt front end and the radiator holding an electric fan to cool the car down before the next round.\u00a0 Teamwork makes the dream work.\u00a0 This is what I like to see when I am at any track and these two are a class act.\u00a0 Congratulations for a well-deserved and hard-earned victory.\u00a0 This win also put team Crazy Horse into a comfortable lead in the points.<\/p>\n

The photos are pretty much in chronological order so you can follow along as the racing progressed.<\/p>\n

One more article to go.\u00a0 Come back and check it out.<\/p>\n
