It is always fun for the fans when the tracks offer a ‘Meet and Greet’ before a race. The kids especially enjoy seeing the cars up-close and personal and an opportunity to meet the drivers.

Robert Rux, 88 car won the Heat race.

Bobby Wheeler Jr., 22 car came in second for the Main event.

John Mustered, 32 car came in third for the Main event.

The next race will be at South Sound Speedway on May 19th.

Congratulations to the Fulmer team, car 75, for their first Main Event win in a couple of years. The 75-team has had their fair share of bad luck these past couple of years, but Saturday night on May 5th at Evergreen Speedway Bob Fulmer made his way first across the finish line in the 30-lap Main Event.

Taking home a beautiful trophy, one big enough to make up for all the ones his team missed out on with the 75 car facing engine troubles of the past.

Fans look forward to seeing the 75-Fulmer team a lot more this 2012 season. So stay tuned Vintage fans and come out to the next race at South Sound Speedway in Tenino on May 19th. It all seems so easy, going in-between tracks to race. But there is a lot of work to race from Evergreen Speedway to South Sound Speedway. Gear changes, repairs from crash - boom - bangs and strategies. So Vintage race fans, we will see you on May 19th.
