Ocean Speedway 3-15-10,

Since I don’t have a dog in the race this year at the track, and I plan on being there hanging out and being my normal obnoxious self any way, I thought it might be cool to offer up my thoughts and impressions of the goings on out at Ocean Speedway this year with regards to the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo series. I have always been a fan first and the winged sprint car racing at Ocean has gotten to be very entertaining to say the least. I always find a way to stick my nose in and see what is going on at the track, with the teams, and with who ever and what ever else I stumble upon. And you know I never have a lack of opinion on stuff! So keep in mind the opinions and thoughts expressed will be only mine (like I really care about any others!) and will be totally unofficial and unconnected from the track (I am sure john prentice and his staff will be happy for that disclaimer!). So as I roam around I will try to note things of interest (at least to me) and pass them along. Remember, I am not a journalist and don’t claim to be one. I’m just a fan out to have fun at the track and pass on my impressions. So after every Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo event at Ocean Speedway this year I hope to bring you my perspective of things.

A few things that already come to mind include the addition to the Ocean Sprints this year of a couple of well known names in area motorsports. Those would be Gary Thomas as the PR guy/announcer and Taco Bravo as the series sponsor. While it is not a news flash to mention the two, I feel it is important to give them both space here as they are each playing a part in the support and growth of the racing program. So thanks GT and Dennis Wuollet. I have enjoyed Taco Bravo food for years and would encourage anyone to support them by stopping in to one of their south bay locations(they have 4 now) for a bite to eat. I know both the Bascom Ave in Campbell and the Snell Rd in San Jose restaurants are open late (till 2 or 3 am) on Fri nights so you can grab a bite after the races if you are in those areas. Hey, maybe Dennis Wuollet, owner of Taco Bravo could use me as a spokes person. Kind of like that lady that lost all that weight eating at taco bell. Well on second thought, maybe Dennis doesn’t want to use me, lol!

Ok, moving on, I think it will be interesting to see if the fight for the coveted Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo series title will be as tight and as hard fought this year as it was last year. Will Tommy Tarlton again prove to be the man to stop BK from claiming another ocean title? Who else might rise to the top of the heap? Who might be the hero of the week and more important, who might go from hero to zero! Those are just some of the deep hard hitting issues (yeah, right) we will be looking to have resolved this year. So make plans to buzz on out to the track this year and show your support!

See you at the races, Buzz Rightrear.
