Dogtona Race #2

It’s a fine day here at Dogtona as we await the second of the day’s two racing events.

Let’s remember the reason for the season – to wish the Barkday Boys a Happy Barkday and of course we’re talking about that 2-year-old rascal from Carolina, Ranger, and the big, bad Stuart who hails from RIR territory.

No RIR necessary for these races ’cause we’ve got all we need here at Dogtona.

We’re Finn and Wally, your announcers for the day. We’re recuperating from the excitement of the morning when we called the Junior Race. Congratulations Greta!

Color commentators and race announcers Finn and Wally here.

Joining us again from this morning’s race are the lovely and talented Mollie, who’ll start us in just a moment and the wacky Pit Crew from ArOOOOOzona, Kaci and Kali, whose sister, Kyla, is keeping everyone under control (really?) in the pace car.

And the fans…oh the fans… waiting breathlessly as they were this morning. They can’t wait for the excitement to continue. Let’s hope we’ve seen the last of that evil interloper:

He, He, he....I'll be back....

He, He, he….I’ll be back….

Before we get started, we need to tell you about two additional entries in the Senior Race. Because of technical difficulties in the registration process, Dewars and Winston, two young drivers, are now racing in the Senior category.

We’ve fired the registration crew so that this won’t happen again. Ever.

OK…time to get started.

Coming on to the track are our featured racers for this event:

Here's Sarge in his Plymouth Hemi Cuda. Impressive!

It’s going to be a close race folks…..

Sarge is out in front and it’s no wonder in that Cuda! Piper’s overtaking….Duffy’s keeping everyone at bay to stay in third…no second place.

What’s this? Stuart is pooped. Is he gone for the day?

Sarge is clearly the leader after lap 1.

It’s Timmy Tomcat from outta nowhere! Did you see that folks??? Jazzi and Addi are hot on his wheels and Hazel is gaining.

Timmy Tomcat takes lap 2!

We’ve never seen anything like it! So close…

Truman grazed the sidelines and rubber’s burning all over the place…Sidney is keeping up a good pace but Sammy’s gaining…

It’s Truman in lap 3.

Stuart’s pulled into the pit for some R&R.

Got any beans girls? I'm famished.

Lap 4 is outrageous! Hazel’s gaining after her sister’s performance earlier today! Winston’s not letting go.

We’re down to the wire. It’s so close.

A PURRRRFECT DAY LADIES AND GENTLEMEN – TIMMY TOMCAT HAS SHOCKED THIS CROWD AND WON THE SENIOR RACE!!!!

Well done Timmy Tomcat!!!!

Wheew. That was epic.

What a day folks! And the fans are going wild. CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERY DRIVER!

Thanks to all!
