The OCRS sprinters took off their wings at West Siloam Speedway as a tribute to the historical days of sprint car racing. It is a totally different style of racing, depending much more on the driver's ability to race through the turns.
The team missed the setup for the hot laps, but bounced back for the heat and "A" Feature. Michael held his 3rd position in the heat and raced to a podium finish, 5th place, in the "A" Feature. Cars were flipping, spinning, bouncing and bumping off of each other. Dirt and dust were flying and when it all cleared it was another successful night for Michael and the BiGFooT team.
Several young fans stopped by the car, tried out their place in the seat and dreamed of the future. The BiGFooT team appreciates all the fans that come out and support the series and look forward to meeting more of the fans at the future races.
