$3000 to win Sportsman!!!

[Cuzzone88]

We plan to go to NSS at some point this year... just not a week before the big race at adale. I understand why you're not coming, just sucks that 1 of the best, if not the best sportsman in florida wont be at the biggest $$ race of the year.... BTW contrary to you big tracks beliefs, there's 2 grooves at adale. I went from 22nd to 5th in 18 laps the last 75 lap race without touching anybody before breaking. (yes it obviously gets tougher when you get to the top 5 or 6. but none the less it is possible).

After you Qualified 3rd and got DQed by Ricky Brooks after Qualifying. You won't have to worry about coming from the rear of the field this week. With the traction compound you should be able to get all the way to front this week. Good luck I'll run the next big race at Auburndale pending a couple little issues.

No race report, no talk about anything from this race. I was not there, but I had a crew member in the stands, come on people let's talk about this big Sportsman race.

21 cars showed up

Sean Bass in his brand new and badass looking car set new track record 14.27 followed by Charlie brown 14.32, Colin Allman 14.40, Cuzzone 14.44, and Brandon Morris 14.51

staring line up after draw was cuzzone, allman, Rendell, after that im not 100% but Sean, Charlie and Brandon were something like 6,7, & 8th.

I led the 1st 16-18 laps until Sean and I got together running hard on the backstretch (my fault) and it broke my centerlink sending me into Sean. Unfortunately between figuring out what was wrong with my car and trying to get it fixed, like a bonehead I forgot to tap and essentially ruined Seans night, again my error and I have apologized. He went to the back and was spun later on making his way back up front and decided to call it quits. The rest of the race was decent, it got a little caution heavy in the middle but there was a handful of good battles for the lead with morris, Rendell, Travis Roland and beckner.

Morris ended up winning by 4-5 car lengths over Rendell, then beckner, allman and colpritt rounded out the top 5

Overall a good field of cars and for the most part pretty competitive, lots of bent fenders and quarter panels but I don't think anybody tore clips or any major suspension off.

Bass was clearly the class of the field but the rest was pretty darn equal.
