Thanks Bob Ripley Jr for doing such a great job in getting it right... right down to every last detail.


Lots of great vintage cars on display from the Garden State Vintage Stock Car Club (GSVSCC)


Former Gil Hearn racer


The best thing to do with a Pinto...


Bob and Rich Caramella - Two of the best, always helping those who need it most, helping to raise $'s to support the Matheny School Kid's Christmas Party.

Speaking of good guys, and the Matheny School Kid's Christmas Party, Kevin Eyres (who coordinates the event) gets ready to head out for qualifying action.


Lots goin'on in the pits!

Decisions, decisions, decisions....

"Showtime" takes in the show


Speakin' of hot dogs...  Actually, that's New Egypt Modifed driver Dom Buffalino with Lenny, Davey and Danny Sammons


Not a good way to start Turkey Derby...


Lots of damage on the right front...


Making weight...

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

...still working on the #21 over in the Avis pits....


Jersey Shore Mustang #1


Kyle Dealaman and crew make repairs to the #2.  Dirt fans will remember the "Dealaman" name on Kenny Brightbill's 1/4 panel in the 70's & 80's:

Over the top


Time for the SK Wall Modifieds to "drop in"

The Factory Stocks negotiate turn 4

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.
