ok as you all know dave puliafico and I dont always see eye to eye..but i call it like i see it. and well dave P turned some doubters into believers saturday night. dave having never ran at RPM and not having much expierence with 19 turn on the carpet and with a ultrabird motor almost stole the show! he realy ran a great race and had a super fast car. great job dave i think you still have that smile on your face? LOL DAVE also won the raffle, taking home a brand new team edition hyper drive 12th scale car all red with all there goodies included! the sun was shining down on dave saturday for sure! i'm sure dave will admit he had his doubts abouth the track and the series? i think i made a believer out of him as well? let's just say i think dave will be back in august? i honestly thought dave would be fighting to make the top 5 in the B and making the show was not even a thought. i'm hard to impress but dave managed to impress me for once,lol.

did i mention the associated 10L4O qualified in the top 4 spots in 19 turn? yup they did...the cheapest oval kit with very little bling bling dominated the 19 turn class. that has to make a statement about simplicity?

look for complete race results with lap times and the winners pictures on the official focars web site focars.net in the next few days.. mike boylan is doing a awesome job on the site and i know it takes up his free time. thanks mike! you are da man! i hope everyone walked away happy and learned a thing or two while there all day saturday. next focar race august 15th sunday at RPM speedway. big thanks to scott wise owner of RPM for allowing the oval heads to take over the building for a day! the track is awesome!
