Opening Night / Day at The Proving Grounds - HALLOWEEN HAVOC? Yup.

Uh. How many times can I say wow in one post and get away with it?

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Redundant? It barely begins to describe the opening night and next day of a truly world class racing venue and program.


An alternative title for this post would be "The 24 hours of Jenison" and in all honesty they crammed one heck of a lot of racing into one night, then raced again the next day, and it really was about 24 hours from when the doors opened to when we left.

Wow.

Then we finally slept about 14 hours and drove home Sunday afternoon.

I'm sure the Proving Grounds staff put in not just many weeks building the place, but also the last couple of days must have been around-the-clock getting ready for the doors to open. My hat's off to the Proving Ground and Team Virus Racing crews. A HandyRacing SALUTE!

Halloween Havoc Race Results 10-30-09

What can you expect for a Grand Opening, we were wondering that same thing as were many of the racers out there. We were all in for a big surprise! What was expected to be a busy opening race weekend turned out to be just that and a whole lot more. 190 plus entries on Friday night followed by over 50 entries on Saturday morning made for a better opening weekend than anyone could have hoped for. We would like to say a special thanks to everyone who came out to race with us. Many people traveled from out of town, many from over 2 hours outside the Grand Rapids area. All of you made this a weekend to remember! We thank all of you for making this a special time for all of us and we look forward to seeing you out to race in the weeks, months and years to come.

As pictures and video becomes available we will make sure to post them here for you to view. Below are the results for all of the racing from this Halloween weekend.

Who? Why? What? Krash! Krunch! Kaboom?

You will have to excuse me for taking the easy way out on this one. There won't be any fancy charts, illustrations, or illuminations, but it will be a start; something to get the ball rolling and to help me, and you, better understand what we will attempt to accomplish. You see, it has been nearly two months since Keith approached me with the idea of putting some of my foolishness on the web via the Virus Racing website. I liked the idea, foolishly agreed, and wrote a mental check that I am now attempting to make good on....
