[Frasson118]

Browsing through Facebook and other outlets, I'm picking up some plans from racers around the country that are making Speeweeks plans. If any of you know Speeweek plans for any racers, post them here.

Teddy Christopher will be at New Smyrna in the Joe Brady 00
Cole Powell from Canada is bringing a Pro Late & a Tour Mod
Woody Pitkat will be in the Hillbilly Racing 79 at NSS & Daytona
Todd Szegedy will only be running a Mod at Daytona
Anthony Campi will be at NSS
Bobby Santos III will be in a USAC Midget at NSS... 3 other USAC cars PRE-entered
Lance DeWease will run everything available in the 410 Sprints.
Chad Kemenah doing the same in the Bob Hampshire 63.


Still looking, and add your news also.....

Matt Hirschman bringing a Tour Mod to NSS. Matt won several of the biggest races last year, and always a strong contender in Florida.

Tyler Allen, an Indiana teenager is planning on being at A-Dale for the PASS Series race. He is just converting over from Dirt LM's, to asphalt. He came to the FUPS finale at A-Dale to "get seat time in these things", and some preparation for this upcoming race.

Mike Stefanik will be racing the #22 Modified at Daytona. Didn't see any plan of coming to NSS.

Ooops... forgot to give Dillon Wood some props also...!

Patrick Emerling is coming down from Orchard Park NY, hope of the pitiful Bills, to runs his Mod at both Daytona & NSS. Just came off of a 2nd place finish in Indoor TQ Midgets in Rhode Island. Onlt Ted Christopher beat him, and it took a bumper job to do it. Patrick gets better all the time. Another real contender all week.

[Frasson118]

Patrick corrected me.. he got 3rd, not 2nd. Still proud of his run though. He did confirm that Teddy used "the horn" on him, and jokingly said that he won't be forgetting it.

Add Riley Hickman to Ocala and Volusia
Add Christian Augsperger to Ocala
Add Todd Frank to East Bay and Volusia and possibly Ocala

[Frasson118]

Add Danny Bohn to Daytona Mods in his 659. His Grandfather, Parker Bohn is a NJ Hall of Fame racer.... his Dad Eddie also raced for several years. Another uncle, Parker III went another direction... he is in the Professional Bowlers Association Hall of Fame.

Awesome. Can't wait to catch up with my old friend Woody Pitkat. I'm stoked he has been given another shot to pilot the 79 Hillbilly Racing Tour Mod. He's awesome at Thompson, so he should settle right in at New Smyrna. It's been a while since we traded paint in the Late Models at Stafford. Also gonna meet up with another old friend Rob Russell who will be fielding a car with Ted Marsh Racing for local hotshoe Dalton Zehr in the K&N Series race at Daytona. Gonna be a great Speedweeks!

[Frasson118]

Scott... Since you know these guys, help me invite them to the Modified Reunion that week. Ted Marsh has been around for a loooong time. He'd know a BUNCH of these guys that come out.

[Matt Albee]

It looks like i won't be seeing some of those drivers, at least not the ones racing the mods at the Daytona track. I don't have a huge budget to go watch racing, and i've decided to spend my money at New Smyrna and Volusia.
The races that NASCAR is putting on during Speedweeks seems like just another money grab by those folks. I've decided i'm not going to help NASCAR kill off local short track racing.

[Boneman]

Hi Matt,
I'm glad you are a loyal supporter of the local tracks; I try to do that too. In this case, I am going to visit the short track at Daytona one night because I like to see somebody trying something different. I'll have plenty of nights at NSS, and a few at VSP, BRP and East Bay too.
