2010 Season Closes

Saturday night, 9/18, saw the Michigan Traditional Sprints return to Crystal Motor Speedway in Crystal, MI. After a long rain delay, and a lot of time spent packing the track to make it drivable, racing got underway. It was a very big show with seven classes competing.


Dirt trackin', not for the "afraid to get dirty" variety.

This was the site of the "incident" from the same weekend last year, and we're happy to say that it was...um-m-m-m...an "incident-free" evening, for us anyway.



John Watson, Mike Berry, Dave Ockerman



Again, experimenting with set-up, and really tacky track conditions made for another new driving experience. Mike Berry and Dave Ockerman are like sponges, soaking up every bit of information they can. While they are both motorheads, Dave has a hankering to drive.




John Watson #26

Our friends Terri and John Watson were down from Canada, and John offered his input on set-up. While engine guru, Mark Stryko, always adds a little humor, a little excitement, and wise words.

What's a little mud among friends?

Mark is entirely responsible for putting the 5K car together. Without his help and encouragement this season would not have happened. From the #5K team to the #35 team, much love, many thanks, and immense gratitude.

Mark Strpko and Randy
