OVAL EXPO SUCCESS AT ARENA ESSEX

Last weekend saw the second Oval Racing Expo at Arena Raceway Essex. With attendance and entries up the event was judged a great success. The usual bracing weather did nothing to dampen enthusiasm, brisk business was done by the traders and the Racing Junk swap meet had plenty to offer. The Drag Race display went down very well during our two slots on Sunday, with a whole load of event schedules for both Santa Pod Raceway and Shakespeare County Raceway. Paul Marston Racing saw plenty of old faces who have not been to the dragstrips for a while who are now coming to see how our great sport has progressed these past few years. Special thanks go out to Ray Tucker and his crew for entertaining the crowd with his beautiful AMS Oil backed Blown Corvette that currently competes in the Real Steel Street Eliminator and to the Andrew Gibbs, Sandy Gibbs and the Family for bringing down their Junior Dragster for display in the Marguee on the Drag Race Stand and Kirsty Gibbs for the live demo on the track. The promoters of the event have already indicated that they would be looking to increase the Drag Racing side of the Oval Expo next year. So on behalf of Paul Marston Racing and crew I would like to thank the Rolling Thunder Show for inviting us to attend their Oval Racing Expo and look forward to attending next years show.
