Local racers at the Nationals

July 3, 2009

We were well represented at last weeks Summit racing Equipment NHRA Nationals, and we’re extremely pleased with that. We found one of our regular racers in almost every one of the sportsman classes, and several of you Summit Motorsports Park regular points racers went deep into eliminations before ending your day. We couldn’t be prouder to have the intrepid group of racers that we have, and we thank you for holding up the hometown end!

There were too many of our regulars running to list them, and we’d undoubtedly miss somebody if we tried. There were a few exceptions that deserve to be noted, not necessarily for their performance as much as for something unique. In that arena, seeing Barney Barnhart’s double all weekend definitely deserves mention. The pair had identical cars, identical trailers, and side-by-side parking spots. It kind of made you want to check to make sure it was a soda can you were holding!

Aaron Kinard, B’laster’s other Super Comp representative pulled in to Summit Motorsports Park from sunny Southern California, just to make sure that those attending the race were completely confused. Of course the Barnhart twins weren’t the only local racers to make an appearance at the event, but it was sure hard to miss those two. We want to thank all of our locals that ran at the big event, and congratulate those that made a few rounds.
