Friday, June 26th, will be the make up race from the June 12th cancellation at Texas Raceway in Kennedale, Texas. The event was postponed due to severe lightning from a near by storm. Race officials had to make the tough decision to reschedule and do so to accommodate all of the teams racing schedules.

Prior to the events postponement, Gene Hector of Big Springs, Texas and his 400 cubic inch super charged Small Block Mafia Corvette landed their way into the #4 qualifying position with an 1/8th mile pass of 4.14. Hector did this after having to peddle the car twice to settle it down after shaking pretty hard at the top of low gear.

"We're using a brand new clutch set up" notes Hector, "so we went too far from where we were at the last race so hopefully, we're much closer to having a window established so we can start adding more horsepower that we know we're capable of adding."

On Saturday, June 27th, the TOPMA Association will make their way down to complete the double header to the newly named Concrete Palace in Crandall, Texas.

Hector continues "to date, we've ran our best passes at Crandall. With the consistent effort that we've been putting forth, we're hoping that it will be our turn for the Winner's Circle again to finish off this weekend of racing."

Both events begin at 7:00 pm with 2 qualifiers followed by eliminations.

In addition to Hector's Small block Mafia Team members , he would like to thank his family, RH Well Service, Inc., Kinsler Fuel, Rick Jones, PSI, Diamond Pistons, Sunset Race Craft, Crower Clutches, Don Reed, Jason Scruggs, Nancy Matter and Jeremy Mitchell.
