[Fot] That Looong Race Prelude

[Joe Alexander]

This is a good weekend, great track, and the best of people.

Blackhawks Farms is a privately owned track with great infrastructure. It's very green with grass and trees, and plenty of paddock space and choices.

Entries are not usually expensive, the camping is free with a nominal charge for electricity. New facilities with showers and a second story covered deck that affords a view of much of the track.

Hold that thought. You will be hearing more about Blackhawks Farms in the future.

>> It is that time of year in the Midwest where the season changes from light to dark and we realize that our cars are about to hibernate for the long cold winter.
>> But not before the Season Finale at Blackhawk Farms.
>> As recently touted here on FoT;
>> That Looong Race is a long standing awesome fall event that brings with it colorful wooded views, Trick or Treating, Big Wheel Races, Partying; and most importantly some great Triumph Camaraderie and Racing.
>> Several FoT favorites will be racing and many Triumph Legends will be in attendance.
>> All of our Triumph cars are pretty evenly matched at Blackhawk and I am eager to test my season of GT6 development against several of the best of our Triumph Friends.
>> Anyone coming out should have a chance to bet on Ostrowski, Drews, Barr, Snook, Alexander.
>> Or if you are a fan of American Iron, my teammate and big-balled Cheetah Ace Brian Garcia, will be trying to beat us in his Dan Gurney inspired Plymouth Barracuda.
>> At twice the size and twice the power, he has deck stacked in his favor but the reliability of the TRs and the speed of the GT6 (if momentum is worth anything on this given Sunday) will not be friendly to his grunt!
>> I promise the racing will not disappoint anyone.
>> All spectating and crew entries are free!
>> 
>> The Beady Eyed Crew always hosts a great wine and Cheese on Saturday evening.
>> And then the party really gets going into the late night.
>> Friendly Ghost Racing hosts our annual long standing bad boys of racing festival of fire in our paddock (in the deep woods of turn 2); with a burn that crisps the leaves off every tree at the track.
>> This party goes back to the early days of GT6 racing with John Reed and myself and often includes fire walking, stuffed animal sacrifices and mostly stuff that I am not at liberty to put in print.
>> Pick your poison... as the Looong race is next!
>> October 24th and 25th
