Well, it’s all over but the shouting at this point, and eight club members are basking in the afterglow of their trophy-earning performances in the 2010 Villages Cup event. Actually, it’s fair to say that all 32 entrants are elated with their opportunity to compete in what was described as one of the best events ever for the club. Congratulations go to ex-snowmobile racer George Glotfelty (pictured below) on his multiple heat victories and his decisive win in the 10-lap Championship feature. It’s also fair to say that a major portion of the club’s membership enjoyed the event as well...there were well over a hundred spectators stationed around the track to witness the awesome event, that included 16 separate races for the Cup, a “Celebrity” race with Florida racing legends Buddy Pearce and John Gamble taking on up-and comer Nic Fernandez, and a intra-family exhibition race which saw Wendy Touchette win decisively over husband Mike in a noholds-barred 5-lap sprint to end the day. The great folks at Speedway Park were incredible hosts for the day, preparing the karts, flagging the races, and (most importantly) helping us Villagers get into and out of the karts. The Villages Media Group was also on hand to cover the inaugural event, which was covered in the April 19 edition of The Daily Sun and which will be the subject of a lengthy article in the June edition of The Villages Magazine, thanks to Marianne Lobaugh.
