Congrats to the Zinn Family
First we had Ron "Papa" Zinn, father to Ryan and Godfather to many, and now we have a new order for the Zinn family. We will now have to call Ryan "Daddy Z" because he and his wife welcomed Brayden Scott Zinn into the world at about 4:30 AM on Monday. "Baby" Zinn weighed in about 7 lbs, and is looking forward already to his first race car. "Papa" Zinn had better get busy!

Mother Nature again took us for a ride, halting the action with 3 finals yet to run. But, we did crown champions in 5 different classes, and they were highlighted by Richard Briscoe in the Quick 8. The Oakley resident got the win over Shelbyville's Craig Minor in a pair of rear engine dragsters. Kyle Wright of Ashmore picked up the win in the Motorcycle class, he defeated Richard Russell of Decatur. A pair of Matton ladies also scored, Katie Beason

We were down to the finals in all of the other classes, and it was Bob Paul and Randy Protz left in S/P, Joel Leisher and Rob Fisher were left in Pro class, and Levi French and Fisher split the money in the Sportsman class.
