\nIt was a great season opening for the Florida Mini Sprint Association and the name of the game on this night …was “Let’s Boogie” as Orange Springs,Florida resident John Kahl brought his #13 HYPER chassis mini sprint home in first place when the feature event threw the checkered flag.
\n21 racers signed in the pit shack and three heats kicked off the start of the 2013 points season and “The Quest for The Championship” at the Lake City 3\/8 mile semi banked dirt oval.
\nHeat number 1 was won by the 2012 FMSA Champion Eddie Moss Jr. #8 of Deland,Florida followed by John Kahl #13,David Hall #67,Dirk Miller #68,John Crowder #30,Sheldon Kinser Jr. #56Jr. and Ken Penta #24
\nHeat two the fans witnessed Orlando, Florida’s own Jody McKenzie #18 handily winning over Nicholas Snyder #116,Tony Sinquefield #13T who celebrated his birthday,Paige Moss #04,”Kat” Thomas #14K,Sean Babcock #9 and Bob Toney #243.
\nThe last heat for the evening saw Rhea Moss #23 “Smoke” the competition in the debut of her new HYPER chassis racer followed by Connor Borah #29,”Hollywood” Kruger #81,3S Robert Snyder,Jim Nonnenmacher #11.

\nHeat two the fans witnessed Orlando, Florida’s own Jody McKenzie #18 handily winning over Nicholas Snyder #116,Tony Sinquefield #13T who celebrated his birthday,Paige Moss #04,”Kat” Thomas acksonville’s favorite Gavin Thomas #7 with electrical engine woes and it appeared at first like Gavin would be out of the opening first points night of racing but wait there is more to follow.
\nFeature time saw Dirk Miller’s Todd’s Tomatoes Motorsports group offer a backup mini sprint to Gavin Thomas #X who would wheel the smaller 600 C.C. entry from the Todd’s Tomatoes stable.
\nAt the drop of the green Ocala,Florida’s Sean Babcock #9 would jump out to the lead and was intially “hooked up” as he opened a twelve car advantage on the rest of the field until lap three when Father\/Eddie Moss Jr. would “skirmish” with daughter\/Rhea Moss #23 and Eddie would flip his #8 mini sprint out of competition for the night with heavy damage.
\nOn the restart Deland,Florida’s Dirk Miller #68 would show the way and appeared to be on his way to career win #2 but a few others had different plans.
\nThe top six mini sprints would battle for supremecy and absolutely great runs for Summerfield, Florida’s John Crowder #30,”Hollywood” Krueger #81 running third who would eventually drop back with fuel pressure issues and another great run by “Front” Paige Moss who was as high as third before she dropped out with problems.
\nJohn Kahl seem to be sitting back all this time until it was time to go and Kahl did just that with 7 to go and took command with Gavin Thomas #X driving the “600” getting by Miller for second making Miller#68 third,Nicholas Snyder#116 fourth and Johnny Crowder#30 with his best run in awhile fifth.
\nThe 2013 “Showtime Tour” action picks up again this Saturday at the Hendry County Motorsports Park [March 16th]in Clewiston,Florida and returns to North Florida Speedway on March 23rd.
