Kyle is only the second freshman in Norwalk’s history to make it to state and the first one to place! Kyle will be wrestling at the Allstar meet Thursday at Perkins Middle School representing the Northern Ohio League, and he will also wrestling in the off season at various camps in Pennsylvania and just down the road in Milan.

Off The Wall

I’ve been hearing a lot lately about the “good old days” from a surprising number of people. I’m not sure where this tendency to look backward in time with such great fondness is coming from, but I have my suspicions. Sometimes drag racing, like everything else, looks better in the rear view mirror, but the interesting thing about memories is that they aren’t necessarily accurate. (continued)

Trick Truck
March 4, 2010
The track services division of Summit Motorsports Park has been busy with several projects over the course of the dismal season, and one of the results of their labor is going to shorten downtime for track cleanup by a bunch! The crew has just taken delivery of the completely rebuilt vacuum truck that you see in the picture here. This new machine will make a huge difference when it comes to cleaning and prepping the track. The oversized six-wheeled vacuum cleaner was even painted to match the rest of the fleet of track vehicles on hand. (continued)
Off The Wall
March 3, 2010
We are just six weeks away from the beginning of another season of racing, and if you’re feeling anything like I am, it can’t get here soon enough. It’s been a grueling winter here in the Great Lakes region, and the next time I see a snowflake, I’d prefer that it was on some whimsical postcard! So what do you look forward to?

Despite my overwhelming affinity for nitromethane, and nostalgia races, I’ve noticed that I spend more time looking forward to something a bit more home grown. I look forward to the points races!
