Next Meeting - Oct. 4
Our next meeting is on Wednesday, October 4 at Colony Cottage Recreation Center, going green at 7 p.m.
Our guest speaker is auto racing legend Will Cagle, who has frequently been described as the most dominating big-block modified race driver of all time. Will has won countless modified and super-modified championships in Florida and in the Northeast.
Cagle has driven modifieds, NASCAR Sportsman Division cars at Daytona, late model stock cars, sprint cars, USAC Silver Crown champ cars, Legend cars and other car types during a racing career that began in the early 1950s. Will has raced against and beaten some of the best American drivers. He is credited with 472 wins in big-block modified racing, and if you ask him, he'll tell you that he intends to get some more.
During his career, Cagle was inducted into six prominent racing halls of fame. They are: (1) Harmony Speedway (NJ) Hall of Fame; (2) Living Legends of Auto Racing; (3) Jacksonville (FL) Stock Car Racing Hall of Fame; (4) Eastern Motorsport Press Association Hall of Fame; (5) Northeast Dirt Modified Hall of Fame; (6) New York State Stock Car Association Hall of Fame.
Will Cagle will be interviewed by noted racing journalist and author Richard Golardi, who is a member of our club's Hall of Fame.
Meetings are open only to club members, but Villages residents can join at the door. If you are interested, Click Here for more information.

Texas -- Six predictors with five different predictions. Our two predictors at the bottom of the pack both picked the same driver and they're the two that need a win the most considering their low points totals. Let hope for them that Larson has a great day. Should be fund to watch.
Texas Predictions

- Brian Dillon 0 wins, 134 points - Tyler Reddick - He won here last year and averages a 6.8 finish. This surely is one for the #45 to win.

- Chris Dirato 0 wins, 97 points - Ryan Blaney - The Team Penske driver has totaled seven straight top 10 finishes at TMS, including a win in the 2022 spring race.
- Rick Almeida 0 wins, 79 points - Kyle Larson - A total of 7 top 10 finishes here and 2 wins in 2021 proves he can come from behind and stay up front.
- Donna Dillon 0 wins, 52 points - Kyle Larson - He has led the most laps(275) since the February 2020 race at Texas Speedway. He will win this week.
