Edam Grass Drags
June 17th 2006

If you figured that, for any reason, you would miss this race, TOO BAD!

The track - Outstanding. Absolutely beautiful!
The weather- Cool, Damp. But it didn't keep the spectators away.
The Sleds - HOOKIN UP! Ed Schille will testify to that!

Now we go on to time - How's a 5.12? The best run of the day goes to Stacy Melnychuk. Cory Duncan ran a 5.14 early in the day, but problems plagued the team as the day progressed.

Brad Enns had a hand full with Clint Bells Quad. Brad is still undefeated. Just to please the crowd, Brad did a run with Nitrous! CRAZY!

It was really good to see Dave Boucher out and back at it. He ran hard all day, and I had a chance to talk with him. He really loves drag racing. He says he wants to sell his sled, but I think he will just get another one. I don't think he can shake it. I have been wrong twice in the past, I admitted to being wrong, but that was mistake. I don't think I'm wrong here. Good chattin with you Dave!

Trent Diederich's 1000 Pro Stock had 2 good practice runs, then blew another gasket. So did Trent! He has been crippled with trouble since WCC. His improver ran all day. Good sign Trent!

Tim Palmer seized up a crank in practice rounds and never got a pass. Too bad, because he has been pulling hard, since the Holco 500.

What can I say about Fast Eddie. Ed Shille came down to shrug off an afternoon and shrugged off the competition. Pullin some 3 1/2 foot wheelies and sprayin crap all over, he managed to grab a few envelopes and the respect of a few more racers. Good Job Fast Eddie. (Warren, does that make you the Butcher?)

The Lions club in Edam did a great job! If only all tracks were that sweet!

Congratulations to all The VOLUNTEERS and all The SPONSORS!
Excellent RACE, Excellent Racing!

If You Missed it, TOO EDAM BAD!
