Fast Times At Farmington #37 – 10/16/22

Farmington Results

We had a Beautiful Fall day at Farmington Dragway for Fast Times at Farmington! We would like to Thank each and everyone of you for making this event what it is! YOU are the heart and soul!

Saturday night, we had a good crowd setting up and camping. They all were ready for a cool evening and hanging out with their friends or getting their swap meet spot ready for the next morning. Swap meet spaces were getting full before the show even started!

Sunday morning was a bit chilly but we had bright blue skies until later in the day when clouds came in. Once the gate opened many took advantage of the early gate opening and got first glimpse at what the swap meet had to offer, even as they were still rolling in. Even as folks were still unloading, you could grab deals fast!

Show car area never disappoints! Always a great selection of some Beautiful VWs of all models. We had around 250 in the area but only 140 were actually signed up to be judged. We are going to have to make some improvements to the area, in order to accomdate everyone, as we were running out of room. Jeff Grimm walked away with Best of Show Aircooled with his Black with red Interior 68 Beetle. Best of Show Watercooled went to Chobey Badgio once again with his Beautiful Custom 2010 GTI.
Racer count was differently down again with only 30 racers in attendance. I am sure these gas prices didn’t help any, but also heard that many racers are waiting on parts. Super Pro Finals had Mel Shealy over Gary Zipperian and in Pro Class Danny Funderburk over David Young. We also had the ASA guys in attendance, but with many of them waiting on parts or just couldn’t make it. There were only 3 of them, with Brad Robertson taking the win over Todd Howard.

We would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for our team of volunteer judges that got out there and got the job done! And also, my Team for doing what they do, to help the event run smoothly. Let’s not forget the track personnel for keeping the track going and food in the concessions.

We will see ya’ll back at The Farm on May 21, 2023
