Fleck, Douglas and Bartuska Finish in Top 16 at the June Sprints

Eighty-eight cars!!!  Let me repeat that...88 cars!!!! In the first lap when the cars came through Turn 5 the crowd collectively held its breath and all 88 cars made it through. The crowd then burst into applause.  It was great driving by one and all as there were Spec Racers from as far away as Maine and Alaska, with minimal track experience. Congratulations to Dudley Fleck, Car 04, 13th, Bill Douglas, Car 07, 14th, and Rick Bartuska, Car 15, 16th. Other Elite drivers finishing well include: Art Kopp, Car 51, 22nd; Jim Marinangel, Car 5, 27th; Lee Trainor, Car 0, 31st; Lance Mussler, Car 24, 37th; Paul Jankovskis, Car 86, 46th; Peter Jankovskis, Car 6, 52nd, Paul Matker, Car 89, 61st, David Shapiro, Car 02, 67th; Ruben Garcia, Car 3, 76th and Mike McCann, Car 38, 77th.

Blast From the Past - 1992 to be Exact

While cleaning, Beau came across some old race result sheets from Blackhawk that we thought would be fun to share. Two notes: at this time, the cars were Spec Racers, not Spec Racer Fords.  Also the date for the Carl Mueller Memorial Race was June 21, 1992 and the Churchill Memorial Race was August 2, 1992. Lots has changed since then. Oh yes, a third note, Beau Martin was actually racing at the time. You'll note a few other familiar names on the results sheets: Mike Dirienzo, Tom Van Camp, Jim Marinangel, Bob Ablard, Lars Lindell and Augie Pabst III.  Guess we're "dating "a few people...I'm sure they were all in their teens when they started racing.

Entry Forms and Supplemental Regs Available for Early Races

We have links to the early Blackhawk races.  Milwaukee and Chicago Region are requesting online registration at www.dlbracing.com. We also have links to the forms you can print and mail. You may be interested to note that the Blackhawk Shootout has been renamed to The National Race Remembering Those Who Served. We think that's quite fitting.
