On that Thursday morning I did a radio interview with Woody and the Wakeup crew in Columbus and on Friday morning we were on the Morning show at the local Columbus FOX station where we got a four minute shot.
We set up on Friday and put up seven blow ups. Kerry Evans brought the biggest shrimp from Mobile, Alabama and we had a shrimp boil on Friday night.
Saturday was very hot and dusty during the day but got much better that night. There was a big crowd for the racing and there was around 90 mower racing. About 20 tractor pullers came in for the Saturday afternoon event. Fox Sports net was there to film the races and they did many interviews with several different racers.
I did three myself - one for the USLMRA STA-BIL series, one for the 104+ world’s fastest mower, and one for Marine Formula and Diesel STA-BIL. The racing was great that night with lots of close racing and the film crew was very excited at what they got. I came in fourth in the BP class and ended up ninth in the point’s series.
The rain came in late Saturday night and the Sunday races got rain out. The banquet on Sunday was great with John Nelson, Charles Powell, and Art Elsner being inducted into the hall of fame. A great weekend as we will get three shows out of it that will air in a few weeks.
Bruce and Kerry as always did a great job getting the National Race in.
Until next time!
