Like Sister - Like Brother

Shannon Smith takes the checkers first at the 5th annual 50 lap event at Lindas' Speedway. Shannon earned an outside starting spot by setting the 2nd fastest qualifying time. As the green flag flew Shannon jumped out front leading all the laps including the most important - the final one.

Shannon was the first regular to win the event ever as well as the first female driver to win this race. The 2008 track champion Nate Christman was 2nd with Mid Atlantic Gold Champion Jim Housworth rounding out the podium.

Great Job To All.

Ben Whitaker aka. Flipper was crowned the 2008 Slingshot National Champion.
Ben is also the 2008 Hamlin Speedway Champion.

This race brings an awesome season to an end.
Time to tear down the cars and rebuild for 2009.

Special thanks to Denise and Randy Smith for giving me personally the opportunity of being apart of the S&S Speedway team as well as a ride whenever I wanted to run. Unfortunately the rain date was scheduled around a time I needed to take care of some personal business as well as spend quality time with my son and take him trick or treating. There is always next year. Racing can be stressful and take up alot of time, but this time can be made up. Quality time with your children cannot.

Below are the Tour Champions of 2008.
