What a way to celebrate the 250th birthday of America. We had an incredible weekend of racing, fireworks, paratroopers, and Rut Spence Music. Although the heat was intense and frustrations arose at times, those who attended the race had an amazing experience. We appreciate the kind words from the racers, but it was you, the racers, who delivered an outstanding performance. We extend our personal gratitude to all the racers, spectators, and crews who participated in the salute to America celebration at Paradise Raceway. We thank HBM Reaper for their exceptional support and facilities. We also thank Morgan for preparing a track that withstood 100-degree July temperatures without showing any signs of deterioration. The track was in excellent condition. We appreciate the efforts of the staff who overcame numerous challenges to organize a successful event. We thank Phil Combs and Hunter Weaver for their outstanding work on the mic. Congratulations to all the winners, the competition was fierce from start to finish, and even the youngest competitors in the red plate division put on an impressive show on Saturday. Again thank you to everyone involved with what it took to pull this show off.
