Way to go to keep things interesting Rick. If my beer math is right, it looks to me like all three of them are in the same positions with no one earning any new round points yesterday. So it’s all down to what happens today. Have fun today fellas! |

In fitting fashion, our reigning champion Ryan Covalt won the race on Sunday and maintained his lead. Jack III will be 2nd place in points. Wow he had a great season too! Fun to be there and participate in the action. Ryan came so close to getting in the 10s too - 11.008 @117 fastest pass. Big congrats to Ryan Covalt and all the driven racers this year! Lou |

Thanks everyone. Thanks for the color commentary Rob! It’s always fun to read your stories! It really was an exciting weekend. The air was good. The cars were fast. A lot of us were breaking out because the air would get better, or the wind would die down. And it all came down to the last race! I was glad to see Dad finally get his car into the 12’s, I know that has been a goal of his for a while. It was cool seeing Lou get his car down in the 12’s too. I bet he gets it even faster next year when he sees how close he is to a record! It’s always a great time seeing everyone and racing with you all. I definitely consider you my slanted family. I think my favorite part is telling people about all the racers that help each other out when we break stuff and how we try to help each other go faster! I can’t even count how many times people have helped me at the track. It really is an awesome group and I’m thankful to be part of this slanted community! Hopefully Tulsa/Mokan are great and maybe we will see some records set there too?? I’d like to come out there to race someday too! |

It would be cool to put together a Slant 6 caravan to get a bunch of us to support the MoKan race! I'm out this year, being too busy at work. Maybe for the season opener next year!? It's a cool little nostalgic track with some cool, laid back folks. I couldn't agree more about the Slanted Community! |

I would love to do that, but I don't think it is possible for me. About 2,200 miles round trip. |

Post subject: | Tulsa Results and FINAL |
Four cars showed up to represent the Slant 6 community at the Tulsa, OK Mopar event and finish up our racing season. Bill Kendall got to race his SDRA Dragster at his home track. Rusty Heisten stole the keys to his daughter Laney's 63 Dart. Mark Goodman rowed his own gears in his 66 Dart wagon. And long time Slant 6er Stan Aiton brought his beautifully restored Lancer wagon from the Dallas, TX area. Stan had only put about 10 miles on the wagon since he finished the restoration and was understandably gentle with it. His efforts wrestled the coveted title of Slowest Mopar away from Mark Goodman's wagon. Stan hasn't raced in the Slant 6 series since 2001 when he had his Hyper-Pak notchback Barracuda street car. He sold that car to Will Burns a couple years ago and recently purchased a very cool '72 Dodge Colt with a cool racing pedigree he plans to Slant. The weather at Tulsa was great and the racers had a good time racing and catching up with old friends. The MoKan race scheduled for Sunday was cancelled. So, that puts a cap on the 2019 Slant 6 racing season. Congratulations officially to Ryan Covalt as our 2019 National Champion!! Rookie of the Year title goes to Isaiah Bruner who represented himself and the Bruner Clan very well. Isaiah won several rounds and was even able to put three-time National Champion, Rodney Hargis, on the trailer during the Knoxville race. We had a total of 42 racers competing this year with 8 Rookies. Congratulations to all racers and supportive family and friends! |

I was hoping to make the race too but, I had a stomach and intestine infection return last week. Between the diarrea and not feeling very well at all, I had to pass. I was going to bring my 62 Lancer GT (Buffie) as the engine is out of the Lancer wagon (Jackie the fritter getter) As a side note when we pulled the engine out of Jackie a month ago she had an original 126k mile aluminum eng in her. The engine still runs but uses a lot of oil and I drive her quite a bit. Of all the times I opened the hood to add oil or trans fluid over the years, I never noticed the aluminum block. Is there a place on the fender tag that denotes the aluminum engine? |

Frank, it would have been great to see you, sorry you were feeling bad. Just take care of yourself friend and get better. Stan |

I think Isaiah could be a factor in future slant 6 competition. I must have raced Rodney at least 20 times and he always won! |

Isaiah is good on the tree. He tends to go red a bit too often, but he is usually in the .05 +/- area each time. He will certainly be a factor at the races he can make it to (Knoxville, Clay City, maybe Wilkesboro). |

Rob, I am making up the trophies. I am pretty sure none of the Mokan races put people into the top 10, but please verify if you would. Thanks! Lou |
