thank you for the info. how was the crowd?

A decent sized crowd. Brooke would have most likely won the 360 A-main, but got into a lapped car.

Good to see Brooke back where he belongs behind the wheel of a Sprintcar.Look forward to seeing you back at Parramatta Brooke and shaking WSS once again.

Awesome job Brooke! What a way to return to racing!

Just seen Part 2 Brooke your a madman You had to be lifted out of that car Your a Champion

Great Win Brooke You showed dedication there

The crowd was hard to judge because they're spread out between the frontstretch and the backstretch, but it seemed to me that it was a good crowd.

This was my first trip to Cedar Lake Speedway. I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with the facility and the racing. The surface provided for some great action on the track, some of which was provided by Robbie Wolfgang in his 360 heat. Starting in the back of his heat it seemed he was not giving it all the car was capable of in the first couple of laps. Then he spun out while entering the extreme low line in turn one. Apparently that's what it took to get him fired up. When he restarted at the tail he immediately went to the cushion and used a sweet diamond move to get up to second which is where he finished.

Then they rolled out for the 360 feature, I believe Robbie was on the front row and Tatnell started 3rd(don't quote me on that) Robbie took the early lead but gave it up to Tatnell who was clearly faster. Tatnell was battling lap traffic when his night ended after tangling with one of the lap cars. Robbie assumes the lead on the restart and is a sure winner when he again spins out while trying to squeeze under a lap car in turn one with 6 laps to go. He restarted at the tail(8th position) after changing a flat tire and using the same diamond move he charged back to 3rd. The 410 feature was even better yet but I won't get into that.

I really just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the whole experience. It was just that, an "experience", with it being the Jerry Richert Memorial and all. Coming from MN I passed through a little town called Stillwater, MN which sits on the St. Croix river bordering Minnesota and Wisconsin, it's about 6 miles from the race track and it's a really neat little area tucked in the rolling hills that run alongside the river. I saw couples eating outside the little cafe's and couples taking romantic gondola rides, there was a nice reflection in the water from the leaves that were starting to turn and it was all very picture perfect. I couldn't help but think to myself as I was crossing the bridge into Wisconsin looking at the quiet, calm water below that five miles away it's gonna get LOUD AS HELL!! What a difference a few miles makes. For anybody who hasn't been to Cedar Lake Speedway it would be a great opportunity to catch some great racing at a top notch facility and enjoy some very beautiful scenery while your at it.

Gunner, you are the man. Thanks a TON for posting these videos. My Uncle Pete is in poor health and could not stay and watch the feature but I have sent him the links to your YouTube vids so he can see what happened. Pete used to travel with Jerry Sr. way back in the day and I know he felt bad about having to be driven home before the races were over.

I also want to thank the Richert family for the BBQ after the races and for putting together a fabulous night of racing. Swampman deserves a bunch of credit too for busting his azz getting the new clay in fabulous racing condition. GRP as always was a big contributor and deserves kudos as well.

Without question the best single night of racing I've seen this year. It was SOOOOO nice having a show with nothing but sprints! Both classes put on a heck of a show. My thanks to the Richert family and all of the sponsors as well as the speedway staff. This was my third Richert memorial as a fan, and I try to hit all of the sprint car shows at Cedar, but this was definitely the show of the year and the best Memorial race of the three I have seen.

Both Scott Winter and Billy Blalog are fine racers and probably under rated by most fans. Wolfgang is going to be a force in the future. He is already looking very good with only two years of experience (probably helps to have a great teacher!) Erin Crocker Everham is gettin back to her sprint car form and if she stays with it will be a threat in any race she enters next year (her car is wicked fast with Woodring wrenching)

I thought the crowd was pretty good. Was not as big as the WOO show which is not a suprise, but definitely a good crowd.

Wow, nice way to come back, Mr T!!!!

Glad to post the races and appreciate the kind words. I will start tonight to get the rest up. I filmed every race at the event. I hope Uncle Pete is feeling better.

Jeff

Nice Work Gunner! Glad to see you got the fan of the year cuz it was my grandma and i didnt hear all of what Amy said. Cant wait to see the rest!

Congrats to Brooke Great Driving in both cars! Nice to see you bring it home in the 63 car. Congrats to the car owners Sonny and Joe!

Thanks to The whole Richert Family and everyone else involved for putting on this special event!

It was an awesome night of racing and what better way to spend Sunday than cruising the St. Croix in my brother-in-law's boat. We went all the way down to Hudson by I94, had some awesome burgers and back up to Stillwater.

I posted a ton of photos here. We were camped 100' from Brooke and Jerry and never even managed to crawl over there so I think it's safe to say we enjoyed the win over at the GRP fire.
