We are going to switch gears and do a little grudge racing. Ecbill and the Hot Nova and Racin Rob in the Dash Camaro. These two swapped spots all the way down the track the first time so why wouldn't they do a little grudge racing. We are going to do best of 3 swapping lanes each time. The drivers are buckled in and ready for a good time.  Racin Rob cuts down the tree but Ecbill is out front at the 60 and 660  There is no telling who's going to take the stripe. These cars are CLOSE! At the finish its going to be Racin Rob with the speed advantage taking the win.  Rob takes the first race but we are doing best of 3 so let's bring them back up.  They stage the cars and come up on the 2 step here we go. Are we going to 3 or can Racin Rob and the Dash Camaro end it here. Let's find out.  Again Rob takes the tree but there's Ecbill ahead at the 60 this time Rob takes the 660. These guys are not giving a inch and stay side by side down the track. At the finish its going to be Racin Rob taking it in 2!  Both drivers pick it up from the last race but Racin Rob takes this one.  Congratulations Rob on the grudge win. Good run Rob! Thanks for agreeing to the match up. Those 2 put on a good show! |

It's time! Time to run some 4GO list racing. Let's take a look at how the list looked going into today. Unfortunately there were a few cars that couldn't make the call.  The list won't stay like that for long. The number one spot hold Swiftkart has pulled he car to build a new beauty. Let's get everyone moved around and take a look at the list now.  Alright that's it now let's get to the racing and we can change it up some more. Coming up first the shark pool racers. We only have 2 for this list and its Gramps in the Ghost and Comet in the pickup. Let's see how this plays out.  Gramps with the starting line advantage but Comet is right with him and by the half they are side by side. This can go either way these cars are glued together. At the stripe it's Gramps by just inched.  Look at that win margin! Both these guys wanted a shot at the list but it's going to be Gramps moving on.  That will move Gramps into the number 9 spot and he calls out Racin Rob in the Judge. They pull them to the line.  Rob gets the jump and is out of there. He takes the 660 looking to the finish I heard him say "I ain't afraid of no ghosts" as he takes the stripe.  Gramps will stay number 9 and Racin Rob will call out number 7 Gnome.  Gnome is back behind the wheel of the Dreamcycle and he's being called out by the number 8 Racin Rob and the Judge. Staged and waiting.  Rob gets the advantage and takes the 60. At the half Gnome has taken the lead and these cars are side by side. To the top and it's Gnome defending his 7 spot.  Racin Rob will stay number 8 and Gnome quickly cars out the number 5 pennywize619 and The Dark Angel.  Pennywize619 set to defend the number 5 spot in The Dark Angel against number 7 Gnome and Dreamcycle. They are on the 2 step and ready.  Gnome is away first followed closely by Pennywize619. At the half Gnome has half a car on The Dark Angel but Pennywize619 isn't backing down. At the big end it's Gnome taking the number 5 spot.  Another close race but Gnome moves to 5 and pennywize619 falls to 7.  Next up number 4 Ecbill and the Crusher II calls out number 2 Pete in the DB7. Locked and loaded.  Almost dead even at the start. By the 60 the Crusher II is pulling away and that's the same at the half. Running to the big end it's going to be Ecbill taking the number 2 spot.  Ecbill takes the 2 spot and Pete falls to 4.  Ecbill calls out the new number 1 in Finistauri and Dolly. Drivers are belted in a ready.  Fin and Dolly are first away and will take the 660. The Crusher II is right one his bumper and looking to take the stripe but Finistauri and Dolly will defend the number one spot.  These are your number 1 and 2 for a reason. Quick quick cars here.  There you have it. Round 1 of 4GO list racing. Let's see what the list looks like now.  Stay tuned we still have another round coming at you. |

Alright race fans here we go the 2nd and final round of call outs for the 4GO list. We only have 1 car left in the shark pool so he will call out the number 9 in Gramps and his car Ghost. Belted in a ready.  The cars are away. Comet gets the jump. Gramps just got on the list and he isn't ready to give up his spot yet. They charge hard to the finish but this time it's going to be Comet taking the stripe.  Comet will take the 9 spot and Gramps will go back to the shark pool until the next event.  Comet calls out number 8 RR in the Judge GTO. Drivers belt in and get ready.  Racin Rob is first away and to the half. Running down to the stripe it's going to be The Judge keeping his number 8 spot.  Comet will keep the 9 spot until next race.  Racing Rob calls out the 7 spot in pennywize619 and The Dark Angel. Staged up and watching for green.  Racing Rob gets the starting line advantage. He is first to the 60 but pennywize619 powers around at the half. This is anybodys race here. At the stripe it's Racin Rob taking the W.  Definitely a close one. Rob takes the 7 spot and Pennywize619 drops to 8 and they will stay there until the next event.  Number 5 Gnome in Dreamcycle calls out number 4 Pete in the DB7. Drivers aren't messing around and stage quick.  Pete gets the jump and takes the 60'. By the half Gnome is out front. Let's see how many times they swap the lead before the finish. At the line it's Gnome taking the 4 spot.  Gnome moves to 4 and Pete falls to 5. That's how it will remain until the next event.  Now 1 and 2 will battle it out again. Number 2 Ecbill and the Crusher II calls out Finistauri and Dolly. No games they are ready.  Fin is away first and holds a small lead at half track. The Crusher II is making up ground. At the line it's Finistauri and Dolly holding onto the number 1 spot.  That's how they will sit until the next race. 1 and 2.  That was 4GO list racing at its finest. The list is all shook up from what it looked like at the start. Let's take a look at it now.  That will do it for racing action baring any grudge racing. We do still have 1 more trophy to give out and that's best in show. Stay tuned you don't want to miss it. |

Now is the hardest part as race master and that is picking best in show. How can you pick just one? This has to be the best looking class of cars yet. Everyone stepped it up on the paint this time. If I had enough trophies everyone would get one. For this race it had to be a dragster because just look at them. Best in show is going to Mazda and the Mazda dragster. I'm telling you pictures do no justice on this hot rod.    Congratulations Mazda! What a amazing looking machine! Well again baring any grudge racing that is going to do it for us here at ITz raceway and the 2024 Ice Drags. I've seen alot of thank yous and again I have to thank all of you. You all deserve thanks for spending your time to build the best looking and running cars on the planet. It is truly a honor to run them down the track. I will start getting everything packed up and back on the road home this week. Again I can't think you all enough and I can't wait till the next race. |

Thanks Adam for putting on this great event and congratulations to the winners.
I am humbled to win the best in show against such brilliant looking cars that had been entered . It took a long time to work out how I could paint the long body and pay homage to the Mazda which had such an elaborate paint job and won the LeMans 24hr in 1991. I was there to experience the race.
I hope that we will be able to race the Top Fuel class in future events as it was so popular with a good entry.
