Tulsa Feature Video

Here is more Tulsa video from Kathy Heil - The 1200cc Mini Sprint A Main



Check this out. Put your car on a diet. We had a top secret new battery in testing out at the Tulsa Shootout. It weighs in at a full 10 pounds lighter than the battery we had been running. Watch Speed Partz for an announcement on the availability of this new battery within the week.

Thank You

I wanted to thank Kathy Heil for providing all the photos and video from the Tulsa Shootout.  I sure would have like to have been there.

Congratulations to Lynn Ambrose and Kevin Roberts Jr on their top three finishes.  Lynn is as tough as they come and a real pro with the wing off.  I ran several laps behind him at the Brownstown non-wing race and can tell you he knows what he is doing.  A little research shows that the Washington group came in with a real stacked deck, but Lynn almost had them taken care of.  In one of my earlier Blogs this year I noted Kevin Roberts Jr. as potentially the most under-rated driver.  Not a lot of fan fair, he just goes out and and does his thing...very well I might add.  Several other drivers deserve mention as it sounds as if just making the show was a real feat.  Two of our FOZ customers had strong runs.  Brett Burrows started in the number 12 position and came home sixth, while Beau Stewart started in tenth and came home seventh.  Drew Pollock started in the second position and came home in eigth.  Youngster Trey Gustin started in the back and was as high as tenth before spinning.  Congratulations also go out to Ryan Broughton and Ricky Taylor for making the feature.  Being the first year for the 1200s at the Shootout, all the drivers that made the trip deserve a lot of credit.  As several of them told me, there was a lot to figure out between the wing and the track.

GoPro Camera on board with TJ Heil in 1st B-Main.  Hoping we might get some in from Ryan Broughton upon his return also.

The latest

Bits and pieces coming in from Tulsa. Kevin Roberts is on the pole, Ricky Taylor is in, Beau Stewart is in, Ryan Broughton is in. That is all we know so far.

TJ Heil finished tenth in his B-main. They were happy with the run as he started 12th. They said there was still a lot of carnage. They think Mike Weber finished right in front of TJ. David Applegate hit the wall. Barnhart flipped.

Report back from last night was that there were several flips and much carnage:
