(Tommy) We are in the home stretch of the 3rd DT Road Rally and there is still plenty of fight left in these cars!
(Smokey) Earl Essex for Grand Sport Racing is working on a Grand Chelem earning the qualifying pole position, setting the fastest lap and has lead every leg of the race and now working towards the win…
(Aurora) Ahh, Guys… From up here it looks like Clutch McCoy In the Texas Pete Hot Sauce Ghia for Piston Slap Racing is not ready to let that happen. He has pulled up next to the Cobra and they are traveling side by side!
(Tommy) And the fight continues!
(Smokey) Speaking of fights, we have a real hot dog of a fight going on! We better find some cheese and onions because there is a 3 way going on for third! Rocket City Racing, Strummer Racing and Team Powell continue to clash!
(Aurora) Bubba in the Purple Camaro must be thinking about cheese coneys for lunch because Roberto Asconi just zipped by him in the red Ferrari!
Skabby in the Mako Shark for Cornhusker Racing was drafting Bubba and pulled out to pass, but then was left hung out to dry. The Junkabilly Racing Corvair and Spud Boy in the yellow Nonesuch Racing Ferrari GTO continue the freight train and blew by Skabby.
Noah Vale in the 1950 Olds also saw the open door and moved on. For the first time of this race, he leaves behind his satellite team member, Otto Glide in the 1953 Mercedes of Pappy and the Kid Racing who seems to be suffering with tire issues.
Bud Henry in the orange GTO for New Century Technologies Racing gives it his all and turns in his best effort of the day so far.
Lance Ross lll in the Flower Punch VW for Outlaw Hippy Racing has a serious case of the munchies and considers hitting the hot dog stand in the park as Palliden Spencer in the ’66 Mustang for J.L.M. Racing catches up to him.
Harry Gumala in the ’66 Toyota 2000 GT for Normal Racing is enjoying the challenge and taking notes for the next time on the Dragon’s Tail.
Before we break for a word from our sponsors, let’s take a look at the board.
