Here is a sneak peak of the results from Halloween Race Weekend.
Hope you are not one of those suffering from the "Should-a’ Been There" blues after missing out on a wild fun time at the OK Corral Saturday night! Where the Would-a Could-a Should-a - Happened!
If you are too young to remember, but have heard tales of the Indoor races in Harrah – Mc Cloud arenas, you may have had or did have your chance to re-live the past this Halloween weekend Oct 29-30, 2005. The place alone puts big smiles on people’s faces that were there back in the early 1970’s. And for those that missed out, they are getting to be a part of new era of racers and fans at Harrah, Oklahoma. The sight and sound of a close up view of the Triumph TT Special winning the race on Saturday put giant smiles on most of the baby boomers and almost all others in attendance faces.
This past weekend at the opening round of racing for the ‘05-’06 season, there were many memories being shared, old and new friends, past and present results and of course historical stories being shared, made and written about. Nostalgic keepsake Photos were being taken, and videos were being shot. There were new and old racers and new and old winners, first time riders and first time winners, and repeat winners from days gone by. But most of all, a loud friendly cheering crowd great food and lots of fun!
