Neck and neck racing here folks!

#58 evens the score, winning the 2nd race by the same 1/2 wheel margin.
#57 loves his older sibling but puts him away by a bumper in the 3rd race, and closes it out by winning the Wagon Wars Title in Seekonk, MA by a full wheel length!
Congrats to #57 Traction Event for the victory, and to #58 TE for also taking the #2 spot!

- Got ya rally case...thanks for keeping me honest. — Traction-Event
Sorry for the delay. It was a long day of racing. Not counting our cars I believe Jeremy said we ran over 500 cars today. No hardware for me today although I did finish 4th in Matchbox Stock. Already looking forward to next month.
Anyway, I just got in from taking my son to Boston to catch the bus back to school in Maine, so very shortly I will start posting the results. Stay tuned!
Unfortunately, due to lack of time and the amount of time needed to process them the only pics I took were of the Final Four Wagons. Jeremy did manage to take some and will be putting them on our Facebook page at some point.
