Cancer update 9/18/18

So; today was my final day of preparations for receiving my radiation therapy to cure my prostate cancer.

Yesterday I went to my urologist and received a shot in my abdomen to effectually kill my testosterone in order to slow the growth of the cancer. The lady giving me the shot said one of those ‘nurse things’ of course; “This may burn a little bit”. Well, she wasn’t wrong by any stretch of the imagination!!! The good part is that I only need to have the shot every 3 months.

Today, I went to Saint Elizabeth’s hospital. They gave me a shot in my left gluteus maximus; a very strong antibiotic. That was to prevent any problems with infection from the procedure that followed.

They inserted a camera ‘down there’ to guide them for inserting the gold markers in my prostate using extremely long needles. Again, I got the doctor speak; ‘A little sting here’, then ‘Another little sting’ as he injected me. Just as before, those words were an understatement!!! I did ask the doctor how much my net worth increased by having the gold inserted, but he said he wasn’t sure.

All in all, I came out a little richer, but with a sore nether region and a hurting hiney. Because the gold will eventually be absorbed and passed I can’t even enjoy the treasure buried inside me.

The next step is to return to the radiation oncologist October 11^th to begin the radiation treatments. Unless something comes up between now and then, I will continue updating everyone after that.

I want to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement that they have extended to me. I truly appreciate everything, more than you will ever know. I have no intention of giving up or giving in to this cancer. Giving up is just not in my nature. So to my cancer I say “COME AT ME BRO!!!”.

Cancer update

It’s been a busy couple of weeks, so I haven’t updated everyone on my prostate cancer. So, here we go!

I had to cancel my trip to Omaha to see Dr. Tepley as I came down with an upper respiratory deal. I did manage to finish out the season at Eagle Raceway with 4 nights last week and this past Sunday, so that is off of my plate.

Where do we go from here? Well, next Monday I go see my urologist to get the shot to kill my testosterone which will hopefully help slow the spread of the cancer.

Then, the next day I go to Saint Elizabeth’s hospital to have gold markers implanted so that the radiation oncologist has a clear target of where to apply the radiation. That radiation will begin on approximately October 11^th. Then that will continue for around 8 weeks, going in daily.

On a side note, when I went in for my usual visit with my regular doctor, he found a suspicious mole on my head. So, I go to see a surgeon tomorrow about getting it removed.

One thing I will say is that getting old ain’t for the weak!!

The Nebraska Cup at Eagle Raceway 9/9/18

The Nebraska Cup, presented by Hoosier Racing Tire, is possibly my favorite event of the year; even if it is the final one on the racing schedule every season. This year it featured several classes including the Good Old Time Racing Association and their cars that go back to the early days of dirt track racing. The ‘Hoodoos’ as they used to be called took me back to my first memories of racing. Also, on the track were the Midwest Classic Stock Car Association’s 50’s and 60’s cars that brought me back to my twenties when I first introduced my sons to the sport. Of course, the POWRI WAR wingless sprints were also a part of that same era. Add in the Racesaver Winged Sprints and the Malvern Bank SLMR Late Models and you have one heck of a racing event!!

In the A Feature for the GOTRA, Carrol Adamy was the winner with Bob Werkmeister and Darrin Adamy rounding out the top 3.

The A Main for the MCSCA saw Mike Ganskow with the win followed by Ryan Cech and Dennis Proskocil.

Neil Nickolite took off from the pole position at the start of the Racesaver IMCA Sprint Car A Feature, only to do a 360-degree spin in turn 2, bringing out the yellow flag and sending his 12N to the rear of the field. Once a lap was officially in the books the top 4 were Joey Danley’s 14, the 1B of Brandon Horton, Stu Snyder in the 5 and Tim Hilfiker’s 20. Cody Ledger’s 47 tangled with Jason Martin’s 5X on lap 2, sending him to the infield with both left side tires flat and Martin heading to the pits. Tyler Drueke jumped up to third on the restart in the #12. Snyder regained third the next time around before advancing to second the following lap. Lap 6 saw Drueke again move back to third. By this time Danley had a straightaway lead. Toby Chapman put the #7 into fourth 3 laps later. Josh Riggins’ 14J got loose on lap 14 after contact with the 53 of Jack Dover and the yellow lights again came on in the corners. Both cars headed to the pits. The final change in the top 4 came with 5 circuits left when Adam Gullion put the 91 into fourth. From there to the finish it was all Danley with Snyder second, Drueke third and Gullion fourth.

Danley said “We got the start that we needed and got to the front right away and kind of checked out from there. The track was great tonight! The best track all year I thought. I honestly wish we could have gone out later for our A Feature when it was slick from top to bottom. I mean, the track was perfect tonight; they really did a great job on it. I started fifth and got a great start, getting to the lead in just a lap or 2. Everything just kind of went my way tonight. Lapped traffic was good, and I just held on for the win”. Danley’s sponsors include Heiserman Flooring, Nissen Hardwood Floors, Automotive Services, Russell Shoulders Racing Engines, CleanRite Sweeping, Empire Fencing and Complete Window and Door Solutions.

The initial lap of the POWRI WAR wingless sprint A Main saw the 22S of Slater Helt, Trey Gropp in the 54, Dylan Kadous’ 31 and Don Droud Jr. in the 1M out front. Gropp made a move to the inside of Helt on lap 2 and got hooked on another car, causing the bottom line of cars to get backed up and caused a huge jam on the back stretch.  Both TJ Artz in the 57 and Wyatt Burks’ 11W went flying. Neither driver was seriously injured, but both cars went to the pits on the hook. Kadous grabbed the lead on the restart with Helt second, the 15B of Quinton Benson third and Riley Kreisel’s 90 third. Chris Parkinson passed Kreisel 2 laps later, putting the 65 into fourth as Benson moved up to second. Lap 8 saw Kreisel take over the third position. Helt lost second to Benson on lap 10 as Kreisel again moved to fourth. Benson grabbed the lead onlap 12 with Parkinson second, Helt third and the 18 of Terry Richards fourth. Richards moved up to third the next lap with Kadous regaining fourth. Helt stopped the next time around in turn 1. Kadous moved to second on the restart with Jason Martin’s 1B in third and Richards fourth. Martin advanced to second the next lap and Richards moved up to third with 10 to go as Parkinson took over the fourth spot. 3 laps later Martin snagged the lead and Richards advanced to second. Kreisel again went to third with 5 to go as Benson fell to fourth. The final top 4 were Martin, Richards, Kreisel and Benson.

Martin’s victory came from the 17^th spot on the starting grid. “It’s pretty cool to start that far back and work your way up. Just being comfortable here at Eagle Raceway is the key to getting around this place. I just kept telling myself to slow down, slow down, slow down so I could keep going faster. Craig Bolz is the owner of the car, he pays every bill and he has nobody else who helps him. I just have to thank him. He gave me the opportunity to drive his car a few times and we got 2 wins for him this year. He’d hadn’t had a win in I don’t know how long. This has just been the happiest time of my life!” he stated.

The finale for the 2018 season at ‘America’s Home Track’ was the A Feature for the Malvern Bank SLMR Late Models. Corey Zeitner’s 26JR was first back to the flag stand on lap 1 with the 1S of Jesse Sobbing second, Brad Perdue’s 25 third and the 15 of Jason Obrien fourth. Sobbing grabbed the lead on lap 2 as John Anderson’s 21X took over the fourth spot from Obrien. Anderson moved up to third onlap 7. Brian Kosiski looped the #52 in turn 4 with 12 to go. Anderson advanced to second on the restart as Tad Pospisil put the 04 into fourth. Sobbing held off the field to the end, making the final top 4 Sobbing, Anderson, Zeitner and Pospisil.

“This ride came about just yesterday. They’d asked me about Knoxville next week, and I was kind of tied up for that. So, I asked them about hitting Eagle on Sunday. They said ‘Well, we can probably get the car there. I think they had to thrash a little bit to get 2 cars ready to race here. It’s always really hard work getting 2 cars together to race. They really had their work cut out for them, but they brought me a really fast car tonight. I wish Eagle Raceway was like this every week! I knew that if I could keep my momentum up to like that it would be good. In lapped traffic we would kind of dive through the middle, and it wasn’t too bad there either. I was pretty comfortable up there on the cushion, because the car was free enough to turn on the cushion, so it worked out. You never know when you take the lead early like that where a guy is going to get you at. I for sure need to thank Rick Hunnicut; it’s his equipment and his crew. Travis Hatcher, my buddy came down and helped too. I want to thank Jay at Malvern Bank and Jay Cochran at SSS Motorsports. A big thanks to my wife for lining up a babysitter for tonight while she went to work so that I could come race” said Sobbing.

That concludes the racing action for 2018 at Eagle Raceway, but don’t forget that Eagle Hollow Haunts kicks off the Halloween season on October 4^th 2018. For full information, tickets and schedule, go to http://eaglehollowhaunts.com/ for everything you need to know.

2018 Racesaver Nationals Night #1

If it’s Labor Day weekend around Lincoln, Nebraska you can count on 2 things. Most importantly, it’s time for the sixth annual Racesaver Sprint Nationals. Sadly, the other thing is that it’s going to be wet!

A half-hour downpour followed by drizzle and mist would have caused lots of dirt tracks to cancel, but Eagle Raceway isn’t most tracks and the Racesaver Sprint Nationals is just any race!! The track prep crew worked overtime to bring the track into shape to host 101 sprint car teams in what has come to be known as America’s Largest Sprint Car National Event. Then as the preliminary features were being run, large drops again began to fall. Eagle’s track prep crew took advantage of the half-hour delay to rework the track again. That worked wonders with 3-wide racing and slide jobs galore highlighting the rest of the evening’s action.

During the preliminary racing there were several serious incidents. Josh Riggins got up and over the wall in turns 3 and 4, ending up with the 14J hanging on the catch fence in the second heat for the Racesaver sprints. Trey Gropp’s #54 ended up flipping after hitting the wall in turns 1 and 2 in the third heat. Heat 5 saw the #30 of Brandon Hickman ride the top rail in turns 1 and 2 in heat 5 and ended up rolling over. Mike Boston’s 51 and the 11 of Justin Melton made contact in heat 6 with Boston spinning and hitting the wall in turns 3 and 4. The D Feature saw Tige Jensen’s 12 start smoking from the right side of the engine. Jensen was determined to hang on to a transfer position but ended up with the engine consumed in fire a few laps from the finish. The C Feature saw the 22K of Kaleb Johnson start bouncing and end up flipping over the wall in turns 3 and 4 in nearly the same spot as Riggins had earlier. Gene Ackland suffered a stuck throttle in his #14G in the B Feature and ended up hitting the turn 1 wall full bore before flipping.

The first A Feature was for the ATV Motorsport IMCA Sport Compacts. Terry Tritt’s 5X, the88K of RJ Maas, Shawn Hein in the 5H and Justin Callender’s 17 led the field after lap 1. Contact between the 26X of Brad Gallagher and Callender on lap 3 sent the 17 headlong into the backstretch wall, bringing out the red flag. That put the 70SS of Steffen Oaks into fourth. Oaks moved up to third with 11 laps left. Maas grabbed the lead the next time around before losing the spot back to Tritt after another circuit. 1 more lap saw Maas again move back to the lead. Oaks passed Tritt for second after another lap and grab the lead from Maas with 3 to go. The final top 4 were Oaks, Maas, Tritt and Hein.

Oaks’ victory came from the 10^th spot on the starting grid. He related “Oh Man!! That was definitely the best race of the year! I saw RJ and Tritt going to battle and I was just waiting for something to happen. Finally, I got the low line and started to count down laps. I got around RJ and took the lead. After that I just saw the checkered flag”.

The A Main’s initial start was called back, but when there was an official lap in the books Kevin Ramey had used the same move he tried on the first attempt to put the 7M into the lead with Casey Burkham’s 45B, the 5 of Stu Snyder and Ethan Barrow’s 14S hot on his push bumper. Barrow moved to second on lap 2. Tyler Drueke pulled a 360-degree spin in turns 1 and 2 for a caution period the next time around. On lap 4, Justin Fifield’s 17X went very high in turns 1 and 2, hit the wall and ended up and over. Zach Newlin used the restart to put the 11Z into fourth. Chad Wilson’s #20 stopped in turn 4 the next lap for another caution. Jason Martin passed Newlin on lap 8, putting the 5X into fourth. Jake Bubak’s 74B hit John Carney’s 11C coming out of turn 2, sending Carney’s mount flipping. 2 laps following the restart Martin advanced to third. The final change in the top 4 came when Claud Estes cracked the top 4 in his 74E with 5 to go. From the checkered flag Ramey held off strong challenges from Burkham with the top 3 nearly nose to tail. The top 4 were Ramey, Burkham, Martin and Estes.

The top 9 of Ramey, Burkham, Martin, Estes, Barrow, Luke Cranstons 45C, Newlin, Clint Benson in the 100 and Snyder will comprise the first 3 rows of Sunday’s Big Dance.

Ramey is currently leading the Racesaver IMCA points chase and won the Jake Ita Memorial Race of Champions at last year’s Racesaver Sprint Nationals. His victory came after starting third. “That first start was just a normal deal, with that many cars and with everybody dancing around. I had a good clean start on the first one and then had to turn around and do it again on the second one. I got around the 5 on the back straightaway and then passed the 45B. I just ran as hard as I could for the win. We had a great little hot rod tonight” he said. Ramey’s sponsors include Jambo’s Barbecue Pits, Precise Racing, Fired Up Garage and Weld.

Saturday’s action has been moved up one hour. Racing will begin at 5 PM with no hot laps being run. Following the Racesaver A Feature the Jake Ita Memorial Race of Champions will be run.

The front gates will open at 4:30. Adult admission is $15, youths 6-12 are $5 and children 5 and under are free.

Pit gates open at 3 with pit passes costing $25.
