Heya Brooksie...glad you finally made it over.

For those that don't know, Gary here drives the 57 Powerade Modified. (He usually does pretty good for an old guy.) Gary and I both started out on the same page, racing our dinky cars around makeshift tracks carved out of the top of the hill at Nilestown Speedway. But he ended up driving real race cars, and I ended up yapping about them on the internet.

 

There's a number of photos in the "historical thread" that are from him.

Hi everyone!!  Just thought I would introduce myself; I am Mark, the second half of team Snotrod.  I built the car for Tyssen and I and I am the lucky one who gets to fix the car after every race.  I have been going to Delaware for 23 years now; since I was 3 years old.  My aspirations are to eventually turn my '98 Dodge Ram into a Demar Truck within the next year or so.  I am now on Sid's team, pitting for the 33 and 88 trucks.  Every week I look forward to being at the track on Friday night and getting an extra cheesy poutine in the pits.  I love how Delaware has so much history and I have been researching it for many years.  There are so many good people at the track; fans, drivers and teams and have met very few whom I dislike.  If anyone ever needs a hand with anything, I work in a shop and have worked on cars since I was a kid.  My Dad helped me get into racing when I was 16.  He is passed away now so everything I do, I dedicate to him.  Well, that's me.  See you all at the track!!

Wow how cool will it be to see a MOPAR racing. I am a huge fan of anything MOPAR perhaps I should change my name to MOPAR MAN. Any way I will definitely be a fan if you run MOPAR even if you are part of snotrod team.

Hello Everyone
My name is Matt Shipway, my brother paul is the Driver of the 88 Powerade Modified, im currently going to school for engineering. I have been involved with raciing since i was 6 years old and have been turning wrenches ever since. If it has tires and a motor, i will work on it. I have raced myself at grand bend speedway for a few years before retiring to be a crew member on the mod. I race remote control cars, my cheap little way of still racing. I do prefer sprint cars, but will not turn down the chance to watch a race of any type. Good luck to everyone and see you all at the track
