Day 38 and St Louis is where we’re staying But we’re racin’ at I-55 in Pevely, Missouri. The track that was laser copied and a duplicate I-55 emerged in Bordertown, South Australia.

The track was fast as always and the sweep was quick, with $85 up for grabs by a smaller group than usual but one that was supplemented by Phil March and his guests.

Phil drew Buddy Kofoid who was a fast finishing third in an excelkent shoot-out for tomorrow night’s 55 lap final. He’s a big chance.

It was James though who owned Carson Macedo from the pole and tonight the cash all belonged to him. Our photo shows Danny presenting James’ first win.

Day 32 was a rain-out at Kokomo. Looked promising early, but a line of storms formed and dumped its load right on start time.

Day 33 was the Brickyard and for whatever reason a sweep was not conducted. Maybe our inner thoughts figured that because it wasn’t dirt it didn’t count.

Days 34 and 35 were originally rest days but Kokomo pinched Tuesday night to try again. Young Junior took the honours and won himself a quick $85.00.

Day 36 was at Circle City, but with no sweep. Finally things got back on an even keel at Terre Haute (Day 37) and a frighteningly fast feature saw Chase Stockon defeat Robert Ballou by a nose in an epic race.

Ballou’s disappointed owner Glenn is pictured here presenting the cash to a delighted Danny.

On Day 29 we were at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Indiana. However the number of Silver Crown cars that turned up was less than the number of participants who wanted to be in the GST sweep. Hence there wasn’t one.

Day 30 was a very hectic one which involved the historic debut of the USAC sprintcars on the Dirt Track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. By the time we completed all other tasks on that momentus day there was no time to conduct the sweep as folks peeled off to enjoy every moment inside the track, rather than tailgating.

But on day 31 we eventually returned to normality at Putnamville and the draw took place well before our members left the pictusque grassy knolls of Lincoln Park Speedway.

Lynette drew the ‘3’ which meant two things. Firstly she got Robert Ballou and secondly he went on to win, meaning it became the fourth time either Lynette or her partner Ray had scooped the pool on this tour.

Our picture shows Darryl, the most previous winner, presenting the $85 to a joyful Lynette.

Day 28 was spent driving from Niagara Falls to Butler, Pennsylvania. Day 27 was all day and night at Niagara (on the Canadian side) which will be covered in the blog.

Whilst Day 26 was a drive north from Lima through Toledo, and eventually Detroit. It was a city in virtual ruin a decade ago, but it’s recovering slowly with much work still to be done in many areas.

But back to Day 28 and Lernerville. We were surprised to see Carson Mercado in the pits. He was using one of his “free to race anywhere” passes from the Outlaws.

Seeing him there pretty much put him in the forefront for a feature win, which he did after winning his heat. And he then went on to win the Silver Cup A Main for himself and for Darryl who picked up a neat US$85 from our most recent past winner Tania.

Day 25 / Eldora Night 4 - Kings Royal Saturday
In lieu of a sweep, we bought $85 worth of 50/50 tickets to give us a chance of winning what turned out to be a US$78,000 + prize.

This generated 108 entries but regretfully none of them was the one everyone wanted.

The drone show put on by the track before the feature was superb. The pic shows the Big E logo formed by 150 or so drones high in the sky as the finale to a spectacular show.

Day 24 / Night 3 at Eldora
The World of Outlaws took over the race sanctioning tonight from High Limit. But it was all the same teams, except for those who destroyed so many cars the first two nights.

One who didn’t was everybody’s favourite Rico Abreu who ran away with the win on the Knight before the Kings Royal.

It seemed appropriate therefore to ask Stubb to present the $85 to Tania for drawing the pole and Rico.

Day 23 / Night 2 at Eldora.
The troops had exerted all their excitement last night, meaning they stuck around a little longer for the sweep at the buses before nicking off to Section NF on turn 4.

The on track $100k was snapped up by K Larson which meant D Bould took home $85. He thanked P Silva back at car wash when we got back to the hotel.

G Southern presented the winnings ….

PS If you can check out the writing on the door of the Palace. (Stubb’s caravan.)

Day 22 / Night 1 of the Kings Royal
The excitement of the troops arriving at the Big E for the first time meant that nobody stuck around Stubb compound for long. They scattered, eager to see everything as quickly as possible.

Hence any thoughts of drawing the sweep were forgotten about. For the record though Aaron Reutzel won the first feature and Corey Day the second.

Day 21 - Brad Doty Classic
He steps off the plane and immediately wins the enlarged GST sweep at Attica. Yes, Glenn drew # eight and probably didn’t expect to win from there, but Carson Macedo thought otherwise by methodically picking his way through the field for him to take the cash.

Day 20 - July 14th
After a short lay off we were back into it tonight at Fremont, Ohio for a previously rained out High Limit race. An overflow crowd was crammed into the joint, short only by eight Global Speedway Tours members stranded in Dallas since their arrival yesterday.

Nevertheless we soldiered on and the $45 went to Barry for the third time. Well done him. He drew the pole, which was Cole Macedo and he led from start to finish. And quite spectacularly so with an extremely large flip after riding a wheel just 30 metres after taking the chequered flag.

A moving ceremony because he thought he still had a lap to go. He got out of the now wrecked car but need to climb back in to weigh the car with driver.

Meanwhile back at the ranch Danny prepared his speech and Barry gratefully spoke to his fans.

Day 17 / Florence Speedway, Kentucky.
Danny (in his brand new red USAC t-shirt) was in “smokin” hot form tonight to take out the GST sweep thanks to Brad Sweet who started out of one and was the first to finish.
