As we wrap up 2012, what was your favorite racing moment of the year?
 
Us winning the Laura Jones Jumper Memorial race at I-55... Out of approx 150 feature wins, this was by far the most memorable and heart felt win. It was great to win it for Donnie, Shane & Impressive Race Cars.
 
It was the PhotoBilly 50 for me.
Seeing all the national talent at our little Belle Ville.
Second was Highland summer nationals.
Third Tri City " Takin it to the streets".

2 for this one. Awesome race to watch..it was also cool seeing Dixon running good at i55 again as well as the Weber sn win! Lots of others too!!
 
The 2 nites of Winged 410 Sprint Car racing in one day at Pevely or all 4 nights at The Knoxville Nationals..
 
Got to see racing at Flora for the first time,watching Rico and Larson battle at the Gold Crown,the last Hut Hundred at Haubstadt,the last night of Mod Mania and becoming friends with "Bingo"...;););)
 
I would have to agree...BShepp breaking the Belle Clair track record and winning the inaugural Photobilly 50.

Not my "favorite" moments, but some I'll not soon forget...Weidner punching through the wall in turns 3 and 4 at BC. The Loyet/Clausen brawl at DuQuoin.
 
Saw a lot of good shows, including several in the St. Louis area, however the best (by far) was the Gopher 50 @ Deer Creek. The WoO late models and USMTS mods both but on outstanding programs that night. Plus, they were the only 2 classes on the program, so we were on the way home at a decent time (unlike some tracks who way overschedule and their programs are way too long).
 
I have a couple from I-55
The MARS VS UMP late model heat where Jesse Stovall and Kloos pulled slide job after slide job on each other. That race alone was worth the admission price!
Watching the #80 of Jake Miller leading his heat race, the bad was watching the RF ball joint let go sending him into the wall in turn 3.
Herzog winning his first heat race in a late model.
 
Take it too the
streets show was one of the best shows...to see two veterans like Pilkington and McClintock going at it door to door and great clean racing was priceless!
