RUMBLE II Big Daddy's Rumble II at Slot Car Raceway (6/30/07) turned into an afternoon of open competition dirt track slot car racing instead of the anticipated road rage follow up to "Rumble I". The star studded list of entrys included 2006 Race of Champion's and 2007 GP Classic wnner, race you anytime anywhere outlaw slot car racer "Big John" Albright, slot car racing Icon and owner of Slot Car Raceway Frank Sarkela, slot car racing legend and VIP Peter V, and The Slot Car Magician, 2006 Race of Champions runner-up Michael Garber. 10 lap heat races set the field for the 30 lap A-Main "Rumble II". After a pair of aborted attempts a single file start got the race going. The first 10 laps saw several lead changes. The three spin rule took effect eliminating several cars as the laps klicked off. Running a low slot it was The Mastermind of Big Daddy's Race Center, Steve Fuller comming up with his second big win since taking the track out on the road last year. FInding the fast groove and squeeking by at the finish ahead of second place finisher Ryan McDaniel and third place finisher Peter V. in the sharp looking Penngrove Motorcycles entry, it was his 10th win on the dirt. Good race guy's!!! Earlier a well known local celebrity was seen hot lapping. How did you like the dirt? Our next race "The King of Calistoga" at Calistoga Speedway is comming up fast. This will be a big event and a must for those race drivers and race fans that are planning to run the second annual "Race of Champions" a week later. The last chance to get ready to take on the Outlaws! We invite evervone to attend both events. This year there will be no entry fee for either event and we are expecting both to be bigger and better than last year!! Special thank's for making this event possible goes to a great slot car racer and VIP, owner of Slot Car Raceway and a great guy too!!, Frank Sarkela. Do yourself a big favor if you have not yet been to Slot Car Raceway and make sure to go and check it out soon. It is a great place to race slot cars and well worth stopping by. |
