"Not a bad night"???? Really Strawser???? Every race with the exception of the feature was follow the leader. The two dashes could have been one lappers and the result would have been the same. OMG, if that was another track we know in central Pa. ol' SOBStrawser would be typing so much he'd have hand cramps. The track was not good and the majority of the racing was boring. Even the guy sitting to the left of us was falling asleep, lol.

It rained horse cocks the night before into the morning. Did you see the parking lots? Everything was a mess. We were lucky to see a race at all last night. The track actually turned out far better than I thought it would. Williams Grove did a hell of a job getting that track into the condition that they did. When Port Royal is in the same situation, people praise them for sticking it out yet when it's Williams Grove they bitch. Bunch of damn homers and hypocrites in Central PA.

Say what you will his first time at one of the toughest tracks for a traveler to win at and he cracked a can of wup ass on the possie and WoO. Just saying. See facts are facts in record books down the road. Won't say anything about track conditions or how many cars. We'll all see yonngest WoO driver to win A main and at the Grove his first time. Makes me think some possie feeling got hurt. Donno, just saying.

I can't even begin to guess how many times over the years that I heard Greg Hodnett comment on less than stellar track conditions by saying "It's the same for everyone." If a 16 year old from Central PA went to Knoxville and beat the WoO, the Posse jock riders would be thumping their chests like tarzan and they wouldn't care what the track was like. Wet track, slick track whatever.....the kid did something incredible last night and made history. The track was the same for everyone and he unloaded fast and kept it hot all night long to put himself in postion then made one hell of a restart to pass one of the best racers in the country (who also happens to be very good at Williams Grove) for the win. With a field like that and the format they used, you have to be fast every single time you hit the track and he certainly was. I get tired of seeing people make excuses to try and take something away from someone else's accomplishment. He kicked some serious ass last night at a very difficult track that presented very difficult conditions against a field that was as stacked with talent as any in the country besides Knoxville. We all needed a reason to smile after spending a week grieving the loss of one of our all time greats and at least for me, Gio gave me one.

Totally agreed. I teared up a couple of times. A very emotional night but it was a very fitting send off to one of the greatest racers and human beings to ever walk the earth. Bruce's eulogy was amazing. Greg was definitely there last night in spirit and in the hearts of all of us as I'm sure he will be forever. The mark he left on the sport, especially here in his adopted home of Central PA will be here for as long as sprint car racing exists.

Well. I wasn't exactly "putting him on top of the pedestal", but at 16 yrs. old, he's got plenty of time to learn, compared to some other young guns in their mid to late 20s (?), like Shark team & Rahmer bros
He seems to be learning fast.... damn fast!

No doubt !!

"It rained horse cocks." Gotta say, Ive never heard that one before. Hahaha. Consider me educated. I always go with "Its raining like a double cunted cow pissing on a flat rock," for similiar circumstances.

A star is born...........in Gio.
But I'm really blown away at what Bernie has accomplished !
How can a guy who run's a very time-consuming racing parts business, take off on a weekend and blow away the best in the business, in unfriendly territory, with a rookie driver imported from the land of Fruits and Nuts ?
Not only that,but he's promoting the All Stars at Kokomo next weekend!
HOW DOES HE DO IT ?

POON TANG............ lol, do you think Gio would know what that one means ?
Strawser, if that was port royal, you would have had an egg. What a season the 69k team has pulled off ? There probably parked until next year. Let's hope DBsr. and Kreitzie want to do it all again next year.
Great tribute, enough said, let's hope the off season brings healing and the team returns.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'll see the 69k at the Tuscarora 50. Just sayin'.

Schatz came from 22nd to 10th so there was some passing. Some of that was the double file restarts but I thought the A main was pretty good.
It was nice to see the place packed on a prelim night in tribute to Hodnett.
|
22nd to 10th is good, but happens a lot. Guys that have a bad night going and start in the rear will put on a soft tire and pass a lot of cars. Have seen it countless times. Not many win though, as their tires are used up in the process. Gotta start up front to win.

This was actually his second visit to the track, first in a 410. He was here for the ASCS race but that was in a 360.
