"Off
Track" Pictures (and a few on...) From New Egypt Speedway Saturday June
30th, 2007
If you are in any of the photos below, and would
like a copy, just email us at 3wide@optonline.net
Craig Ford put his original Harry Taylor driven #92 on
display nice and early, before things got hopping...
A little later, and Matt Sheppard stopped by for a quick photo with
some young fans. (As webmaster Todd from SJDR pointed out, we think there may be at
least one vulcan in this group shot above...) Kids were having fun at the
racetrack and that's what matters!!!.
Matt also signed just about everything he was presented with during the Vespia Car Care
sponsored autograph session.
They were lined up to get young Sportsman driver Tom Carberry's autograph!
Young and old fans enjoy a night at the races.
The Carberry's! Many will know modified driver Tom (left) who's been fast for at
least the last 25+ years including a Modified Feature win earlier this year. That's
Sr. in the middle who many fans of the Vault will know from the many modifieds he's built
and wrenched since the mid 60's, and then Tommy (right) who has quickly become one of the
quickest sportsman runners at New Egypt Speedway.
...just happened to stop by at feeding time at the Martz trailer!
One of John Romano's crew..... Hey, wait a
minute... Looks like John jumped back into civilian clothes to become crewchief/mechanic
in between his heat and feature.
Bruce Driver helps put the tune on Rich Scagliotta's #8. Rich was on the move in the
feature and finished 2nd as the event was checkered a few laps earlier than expected as
the yellow were plentiful... and the fireworks were waiting....
Carl Bettinger as in "Bettinger Built" stops by to talk with Sportsman
driver Will Dupree.
Gotta love the paint job on Clay Butler's #4!
Has anyone else noticed that Dave Hunt, in the Plain Jane Black #27 flies around
New Egypt? Always exciting to watch, Dave brought the recently rebuilt #27 home to a
fine 3rd place finish.
Sportsman driver John McClelland in between races. John's already won a feature
event this year a few weeks back at New Egypt will be sure to find victory lane again
before season's end.
Team Keller has been running very well this year. Still one of the sharpest looking
cars up close!
1990 Flemington Rookie Champion Sammy Martz still going as fast as ever as last
week he picked up the Modified Feature win.
Good sized crowd on hand as everybody took their seats in anticipation of the
special challenge race...
Matt Sheppard began things off and then one by one called out his next competitor in this
very exciting series of 1 lap races. Warren Alston gives Matt and Ron Jon Koczon the
green...
...but it was Matt who would advance to the next round... and then the next... and
then the next, until he choose some guy by the name of "Cozze"...
...and in exciting fashion, Frank defeated Matt which meant that Frank was the
new "Sheriff in Town", given him the choice of who to take on next as
Warren Alston leans in to find out who that would be.....
Eventually it came down to Cozze squaring off against Ryan Godown in
the final 1 lap shoot out... Ryan made it exciting, but in the end...
... the familiar #44 took it all! Congratulations to Frank Cozze and the entire #44
Team.
Absolutely the most exciting 30 minutes you can spend at a racetrack!...
(We've been enjoying watching this guy run white #44's for over 30 years!)
