Do you think Shryock can loose 2 titles in the same year??? When Jason Krohn won this year's USMTS National Title at the conclusion of The Hunt, it was the first time ever -- of all nine years -- that some one other than Kelly won the championship.

Now there are 4 Okies -- Randy Timms, Greg Skaggs, Jason Hughes (this year's national runner-up to Krohn) and Tommy Weder, Jr. -- chompin' at the bit to be the first USMTS SOUTHERN Series champion but they are all chasing Shryock again!!!

2007 USMTS National runner-up Jason Hughes scored the $20,000 win at the U.S. Western Nationals in Tulare, CA last night. Teammate and fellow Okie Tommy Weder, Jr. was third. You can catch those two and a host of others at the USMTS Southern Series races this Friday and Saturday night at Enid Speedway Park in north central Oklahoma. Jason & Tommy are currently 4th & 5th in USMTS Southern Series points and we're down to 11 points races left.

Here's some more results from last night's race in California:

1. #12h Jason Hughes - Colcord, OK
2. #2 Bobby Hogge IV - Salinas, CA
3. #02 Tommy Weder, Jr. - Woodward, OK
4. #83 Kellen Chadwick - Oakley, CA
5. #75 Alan Sharpensteen - Amarillo, TX
6. #111 Bumper Jones - Las Cruces, NM
7. #1b Tim Balding
8. #m2 Rich Denman - Crossville, TN
9. #18 Robert Miller - Chico, CA
10. #0eh Steve Arpin - Rochester, MN
11. #1st Johnny Scott - Las Cruces, NM

17. #44s Bobby Smith, Jr. - Atlus, OK
18. #7n Jay Noteboom - Hinton, IA

23. #0d Jon DeBenedetti - Medford, OR
24. #51 Eddie Martin - Stillwell, OK
25. #131 Royal Jones - Las Cruces, NM

If anyone knows what the support classes will be at Enid, please post.

God made dirt,man made asphalt.

I'm tryin to figure out how ol' Bullet Bob got to California from Lawton and back so fast! Man I knew he was fast but WOW!

www.genesisshocks.com www.hypercoils.com If you need 
it I can get it!

That is what I have been trying to figure out. Altus is a long way from California and to go from Cali. too Lawton, back and forth in two days, is outstanding!!

Did he do it or is someone pulling our leg (or they just got the name wrong?) on those results?  There was like 130 cars there and from what I read, they had he11 with the track surface!

What time does the races start? What support classes? LETS GO RACIN!!

How many cars are expected? 81 Speedway in Wichita is having their fall classic the same weekend, and I think they are paying $5000 to win. So I am just wondering how many cars will go there instead. Besides the Gemmills? Just wondering. Trying to figure out which show would be the best to go to since they are about the same driving distance. LETS GO RACIN!!

Don't know what to tell you on that one. Enid averaged around 60 cars at the USMTS shows there back in March.

What's the tire deal like in your neck of the woods? USMTS allows the American Racer KK704 and the Hoosier IMCA G60. Will that have an effect?

The Gemmill's will be going to enid not wichita.

Does anybody think that they will have as many cars as they did back in march? LETS GO RACIN!!

I honestly think they will have close to 60 cars at Enid but safe bet would be 50 I would think. Wichita should get between 40-45 cars BUT all is a guesstimate on my part. One can never predict what drivers are going to do until you see them there.

Wichitas 81 speedway is a 3 day show for only $1,000.00 to win sundays modified show, Enid is paying $2,000 to win friday and $3,000 to Win on saturday, looks like going to enid friday and saturday and catch wichitas NCRA modified consys, B features and Feature sunday

 Enid weather looks great as well.  Still plenty hot!  90 for a high on Friday!  More reasonable 86 on Saturday and like all the other midsouth races, slight chance of a shower on Saturday.  They say no chance for Friday though and that one -- like 99% of all USMTS shows -- is a one day, pay that night, $2000 to win complete Modified show (passing point heat races, B-mains and A main), $200 to start, $250 to start for USMTS licensed drivers!
