Anybody over 40 immediately remembers Tom and Parker... and the white coupe
whenever they see Danny Bohn's #659

Kyle Dealaman and crew make repairs to the #2. Dirt fans will remember the

Over the top
Time for the SK Wall Modifieds to "drop in"
Charlie Kremer Jr's #77
The Factory Stocks negotiate turn 4
The stands fill as it gets closer to feature time
Dirt Mods line up for time trials
Wall Sportsman (asphalt) driver Andrew Krause would end up timing fastest in the
Supreme #27
Here's a view from the other side with everyone trying to get a view of the
action in the background
... #1
Orange County racer
One of the larger crowds I've ever seen for Day 1 of Turkey Derby
All but the bottom few rows were pretty much filled
The Legends feature produced some great racing, but also a few crashes....
Big wreck for the little cars on the frontstretch eliminated a few of the top
runners with just a handful of laps to go.
Trevor Alspach put on quite a show - Front to back... to front... Everybody
where I was sittin' noticed the run this kid had for sure....
I'm a Buick guy, so without question, the '86 Buick Regal driven by Marty
VanDruten is my favorite Factory Stock....
...just as long as Marty doesn't come looking for some replacement sheet
metal...
Elliott, being... Elliott!
Where's the dirt? Not sure of all of the guys, but I see a few familiar
faces from New Egypt (Willie Osmun, John McClelland, Ty Constantino, Pat Michel
and Mike Bent)

Wall mods
Dirt mod and asphalt sportsman.... Andrew Krause spent most of the day
behind the wheel!
See, I told you. Here he is out out of the Dirt Mod and right into the
Sportsman in preparation for their feature event.
Fans settle in for the remaining features
Late Models head down the backstretch under the lights...
Sportsman wait their turn...
The sun sets, but there's still more racing ahead...
Not only were the fans treated to a beautiful sunset, but they saw one heck of a
feature with Kevin Eyres working from way back of the pack to take the win in
the 50 lap event.
Recap of Kevin's Day: 1. Wreck the right front in the heat. 2.
Rebuild right front. 3. Start near last in the feature. 4. Win
feature. 5. Get tech'd 6. Pass tech with flying colors.
Great effort Kevin and all the guys that helped get the Avis #21 back out on the
track.
