This race was loads of fun. All I managed were two second place finishes in B-mains but in both races I walked off the driver's stand smiling because it was such good racing. Thanks to the guys that put this together and I hope you do it again next year. Eric, the races are always so much more fun when you are behind the mic making the call. I wish I had time to get up north to race more often.

Default Thanks everyone!

I just want to take a min. to thank everyone who made it out today and to Àeveryone who helped make today happen!

Like Eric said, if you weren't able to make it out, it's really too bad. We had great close racing all day in all classes. And the rookie class was a blast to watch!

Eric, as usual, did an absolutely amazing job helping setup the track and running the races!

Congrates again to all the race, concourse, and raffle winners! I hope you enjoyed our custom trophies!

We have close to two thousand pictures from our three event photographers and at lest 7 hours of just GoPro videos. They will post an event video in the next few weeks. I will post pictures in the Damore Motorsport Production/Abt Electronics Facebook page once they are available.

Again, thank you to our friends at The Track at Harbor Hobbies,Speed Passion, HPI Racing, Alloy Physical Care, Chicagoland Hobbies for your support and services.

Hopefully the Abt family will allow us to make this an annual event!

Again, thanks everyone!

Good times were had! My nephew had a blast running Sportsman and made his day winning the car that was raffled off! Thank you and good job organizing this event. Special thanks to Mr Whiteside for a great race program!

Congrats to Stogie on the win - I couldn't catch him. Filmed from the viewpoint of the 2nd place finisher, using Pivothead video glasses.

I think this wasn't linked right, it's for the Mini main. If you get a chance I'd love to see the 17.5 race. Thanks
