Maverick Region Club Race and DE: Trick or Treat! By Tom Snodgrass Halloween was early this year. The racers showed up dressed in all different colors of cars - some adorned with stripes and numbers, others with checkered flags. One had a snow leopard on its rear; another was painted a meaty pink and labeled as cuts of pork; still another was dressed up like a “Dukes of Hazzard”-style General Lee. One of the Porsche Cup cars was done up in the Dallas Mavericks basketball colors, complete with logo. There was a Spec Boxster that looked like it had rust spots and had just been pulled out of the jungle after sitting for years. Another car had fancy clocks on its hood and doors. Some were scarier than others, but all were fast, and most of them were very loud. There were more than a few tricks going on. Apparently the racing line does not end where the pavement ends. When the dust was flying, sometimes it was 16 . . . wild animals . . . just somebody racing a bit “wide.” More than a few racers missed one corner, and cut the next one to get back on the track. Another trick was when the racers at the . . . checkers . . . back of the pack did not catch up after the warm-up lap, so the pace car took them around a second time. But not all tricks worked out well. At least one racer tried to shorten his 5-minute break during photo by John Sandusky . . . famous ‘70s TV show cars . . .

The grid was crawling with workers. Led by Gridmeister Travis Howard, they checked the cars and drivers to make sure everybody was in the right space, and safe.
