From Bobby Fiorello
Congratulations to Randy Yaple on his his first 358 win at Bridgeport 5/10/08
Here's a photo of Randy with his dad Mark with their rookie car from a few years back at New Egypt. Mark raced himself back in the 70's and also owned cars driven by Johnny Leach and worked on cars driven by Bob Patterson, George Ault, Larry Kline, and Richie Pratt Jr..
Congratulations to Randy and Mark from The Vault.From Mike Shaub (Reading Fairgrounds Racing Historical Society)

Notice to all our race Fans, Drivers, Owners and Sponsors,
Due to certain circumstances beyond our control, the 2008 Summer Nostalgia Nationals
Slingshot Races that were to be held at the Reading Fair, will NOT be held there this year. The Reading Fairgrounds Racing Historical Society is actively seeking another venue to hold the Summer Nostalgia Nationals. Hopefully we’ll be back at the Reading Fair next year. Check out our web site www.RFRHS.com as well as other racing web sites for updates as to when and where the races will be held. The RFRHS thanks all its supporters and apologize for the inconvenience.

Modified Driver Bob Drayton brought the #09 spectator side to say hello to the fans as part of the RUN-RITE "One to Watch" program. Bob is shown above giving out photos and stickers... A little later in the night, Bob came from back in the back to finish a strong 2nd in his heat race. We're sure a lot of new fans had their eyes on Bob as the featured "One to Watch" driver.
