Thanks for the update Rob. At least Ron has a chance. If anyone on the East is up for the challenge he is. :lol:

Wow! What a finish to the 2013 season!

East Coaster Ron Hamby put another engine together and won BOTH days to win the 2013 season and his 4th National Championship!!

It was a huge long shot for Ron to be able to pull this off, but he certainly did. He finishes the season with 260 points over Killer Bees racer Andrew Howard with 240.

This weekend was not just handed to Ron. His long time competition and Two time National Champion Rodney Hargis towed all the way from TN to try for his third National Championship. Going into this race Rodney had a legitimate chance of winning it all as well being just 5 points behind Ron. He finishes the season in third place with 205 points and an impressive 0.6667 Performance Index.

I will post the updated leader board shortly...

Here's the Top 10 for now:

Ron Hamby
Andrew Howard
Rodney Hargis
Glen Terry
CJ Stoakes

Brian Mimken
Wendy Pine
Meril Bruner
Lou Madsen

Mark Murray


More to follow...

The East Coasters really finished strong this year!

Not only did Ron Hamby snatch the 2013 National Championship from Killer Bees Andrew Howard in the last race of the season...

Dan Gravatt won a third round to win Rookie of the Year! He tied Curtis Prater in points, but edged him out with his better 0.2500 Performance Index.

Brian Mimken also climbed up to the #6 spot at the season finale at Mason-Dixon this weekend.

Here are some of the 2013 season ending statistics for those interested:

Total Racers: 69 (36 East Coasters / 33 Killer Bees)
Total Rookies: 17 (11 East Coasters / 6 Killer Bees)

Thanks for the final report, Rob. Very exciting year, and great prospects for next year. HUGE congrats to Ron and to Andrew for a hard run this year. Ron really wanted it, and did some thrashing and light tripping to get it done at the end.

Dang, Meril beat me again!

Slant on, folks...

Lou

I made a mistake in the Rookie of the Year comment. :oops:

Rick Covalt confirmed with Dan Gravatt that he is NOT a Rookie, so Curtis Prater is our 2013 Rookie of the Year!

Sorry for the confusion.

I'm changing the stats and giving myself 30 lashes now...

Dan raced with us once in 2006, twice in 2008 (under the alias of Dan Gravell :lol: ), and then this year.
