Peter, Kyle, and the entire Spring Fling
Event Staff, On behalf of
myself, Kevin, and the rest of our Team Dragon Racing Fuel crew
along wwith Dragon Racing Fuels, we want to extend our sincerest
"Thanks" for one outstanding event last weekend at Bristol Dragway!
As you both know, we normally do not
venture outside of our NHRA/IHRA class racing and our decision to do
so in this instance was definitely a good one. From the time
we arrived at the facility to the time we departed, we were made to
feel like we were very welcome and there was a lot of gratitude
being spread around from not only your event staff, but also the
Bristol Dragway staff as well.
I can't think of one single thing
that we did not like about the event, (minus the lack of bringing
home some dough...lol!). It was well thought out, well run five plus
days right down to the quick (and smart) decision to move to eighth
mile competition on Friday.
The announcing was great, dinner was
delicious (Next time I'll stick to speaking on the mic and not
singing into it....eek) and the racing action was of course,
absolutely second to none. You guys truly know what it's all
about and how to take care of your "customers" as you were both
more than accommodating to not only our race team, but also the
representatives on hand for Dragon Racing Fuels, too.
Based on my very first experience
ever at an event of this type, it not only met but exceeded my
expectations.
We very much look forward to
attending "The Fling" in the years to come and please don't hesitate
to ask, should I be able to help in some way.
Thanks again and see you guys
soon!

First
off I want to say thank you to
everyone involved with this race.
My family owns and operates Richmond
Dragway so I know how much effort a
race like this takes. THANK
YOU....It was the best most
enjoyable race that I have been
too. I think everything was run
great and it was a very professional
atmosphere but extremely friendly.
I wanted to know about the paycheck
that I didn't pick up on Sunday will
that be mailed to me? Once again
thanks for everything can't wait
till next year!Brandon Davis
I had a great
time! track is beautiful,the weather
was nice, and the hospitality was
2nd to none! Thank you right back!

their Bucket List. Hats off
to Kyle and Peter for a great event.
One of our slogans here in Bristol

just that.. If you missed this race

Love the 1000' ft racing, great
time had by all of us, looking forward to next year
already!!!

-I have to say this was one of
the best races Ive went to. Broke every 29 cent part on
2 cars but still had a blast. Big props to Jared on the
speaker. The best I have ever heard. I too was sorry his
voice gave out. Big props to Pete and Kyle for
organizing a great race. The head chef Anthony is the
man ! He worked his tail off all day and the chops were
awesome. This race is already on my calender next year.

Wednesday -After going through
tech I discover I have no alternator belt. No biggie.
Fixed it.
Thursday - After getting the W first round I proceed to
slide in my own water in the shutdown area (I forgot to
empty the overflow tank from last weekend). A bent
spoiler, wheelie bars, and flat spots on all four
corners was the damage.
Friday - I suck it up and put shoes on all four corners.
Stage for my first time shot and the car backs out of
the beams. No problem. Make a band adjustment and get
ready for first round. Car backs out of the beams again.
Damn....suck it up and pull the trans out. I was lucky
enough to be parked next to someone that does trans. The
news wasn't good. Basically everything inside the case
was burned or going. Strip my buddies glide for parts
and put her back together. I'm ready to go.
Saturday - I go up to make my time shot. I'm next to be
pulled in the box. Hit the starter button...Zing!!!
Zing!!! F*ck!!! Tow it back to the pits to find broken
teeth on the flywheel. Screw it!!! I'm going home. 10
minutes later my friend and i are up underneath the car
again changing the flywheel. Make it in time for first
round. Run out by .007. Enter the 32 door car shootout.
Everything thing works finally!! Lucky enough to defeat
scotty richardson first round. Second round I run out by
.033 on the brakes. WTF!!!
Today - I woke up with a hangover.
I cant wait to do it again next year!!! Awesome race.
Daryl Pinder
I'd like to thank
Peter,Kyle,Emily,Karen,the Bristol staff for all their
hard work for an incredible program. Anthony
Bertozzi,Rodney and the crew for the feast we all
enjoyed Saturday night. (If you left Saturday night
hungry its your own fault). The food was outstanding!!
To all the sponsors who made it possible every day,
every round, to win something; being there to answer
product questions,supply parts, thank you. From having
Peter walking the lanes to meet and greet making sure
you felt welcome. The best announcers making sure you
knew what was happening round after round awesome. Jeg
Coughlin,his family and crew there racing along with
you. The weather was great, track conditions were great
(even though we had to go to 1/8th one day because of
weepers) if you had a bad time at Bristol and the Sparco/K&N
Spring Fling it wasn't because they did anything
wrong.My hats off to you. See you in 2012

I was at the Spring Fling for
the first time this last weekend,. I wanted to say that
it was the most fun that I have ever had at a race
track. I can't wait to go back next year!
I was also wondering how do I go about getting t-shirts,
since I was to late to get one while I was down there?
Thank you,
Ashley
wanted to take time to thank
you and Peter for a well run race and I sure hope its
not the last Spring fling for me. the Sat Night Party
was a blast!

2010 TESTIMONIALS
Participated in the Spring Fling in Bristol this past
weekend and wanted to let the two of you know how much this
family enjoyed the event. This was our first time at Bristol
and was very pleased with the facility, professionalism and
track prep. Regarding the event itself, it was very well
organized and all our questions were answered without
hesitation. We met and raced with new friends, enjoyed the bbq and entertainment.
We loved racing the 1000'. We are 1/4 mile racers from up North so this
was a new experience for us. We felt that the 1000' racing
was fair for everyone involved. We are looking forward to
attending this event next year and bringing more of our
racing friends from the North.
We also learned a valuable lesson this past weekend, NEVER listen to the
weather man.
Last, before we left on Sunday we wanted to purchase five of the Spring
Fling t-shirts. If there are still any available could you
please e-mail me and let me know how to go about purchasing
them.
Again, Thank you both for a great event. See you next year.
Gary Leasure Sr., Kim Leasure & Gary Leasure Jr.
Kyle/Peter and Crew: I really enjoyed the Spring
Fling and our Inside Drag Racing program should
be a great reflection of the race weekend.
Thanks for your help and your attention to all
details. Congrats on a highly successful
weekend. I can’t wait to get into the editing
suite. Here’s to a job well done!
All the best,
Doc Riley
Producer, Inside Drag Racing
Wow what a
weekend, pretty much anything that can happen at
the track happened to us this weekend but we
still had a great time! We get to hang out with
the Bristol staff a lot... great people. It was
great seeing all of our friends, meeting a lot
of the DRR people and to finally meet you guys
Jared & Kyle! The bbq for Jim was a lot of fun
and you guys were hilarious to watch! LOL
Madilyn had a great time in the ET booth &
couldn't believe how many of you recognized her,
of course she mostly handed out the losing
tickets, well except for John's last ticket on
Sat, she had fun bringing it to you at the
tower... Congrats to John & Jr, can't wait til
next year...Thanks to all the K&N Spring Fling
staff/sponsors!

Just wanted to say had a
great weekend racing. Loved the 1000ft racing hope you
have another race like this soon.
I think you guys put on the best race weekend I have
been to and I raced the B&M series IHRA, NHRA, TENN Tucks, Super 10's and more.
The structure of this race was AWESOME to get the kind
of round money on this level and total payout for the
Entry Fee amount was GREAT.
Hope you all did good on your end of this.
Again, thanks for a great weekend.
Tony Helms
Spring Fling "WOW"
First of all, attending my first East Coast bracket event was a
thrill. Kyle had been calling me for years from Jegs races, Million,
etc. and feeding me the packages, but you don't get it til you're
there!
All the racers are class acts. Racing for that kind of money and
being friends with everyone is a testament to mankind!
Kyle, Pete, Emily, Sal, Jared, Georgia, Teddie, Steve, all the K&N
Spring Fling staff, Brandon and Bristol track personnel, it was a
pleasure to work with you and put on a history making event. K&N was
thrilled to be a sponsor of the race, and every racer I spoke with
appreciated us being there. Remember to watch the Inside Drag Racing
show on May 16th and 17th on Fox Sports Net. Look for air times.
Finally, Michael Beard, you are one bad man in that Volare!!! It was
a pleasure meeting you and all the other killer people there.
Can't wait for next year. I'm already saving my pennies to bring out
my dune buggie for a whooping!!!
Kevin McClelland

Bristol track staff K&N and Sparco for puttin' on
