First stop for the tour racers was East Bay Speedway with 18 Slingshots taking to the tacky surface for a complete show with the All-Star Sprint Series. Coming out on top was the S&S rental with Adam Schradin taking the win. Adam used one of Smith's rentals for last year's Slingerweeks and was very competitive, so he secured the ride for some of the scheduled events in 2010.

Weather and related issues hampered the remaining 2 nights at East Bay so it was off to the newly refurbished Sumter County Motorsports Park oval. The race teams were treated to great weather and a fantastic racing surface. Bill Cleary and staff have made huge strides in making this venture work. Increased car counts in the Slingshots and the micros for this year's mini-tour will hopefully set the table for future events.

Friday night found the 55 sitting idle by the trailer so Randy Smith figured to get some quick seat time in and promptly proceeded to set the pace for the 25 lap A Main which was a prelim for the Super National on Saturday night. The NJMP "Taming the Avenger "  road course winner was back on a dirt oval and didn't miss a beat giving Randy 2 wins for his stable in the central Florida series. A Super National designation was just what many teams had on their minds as the action at Sumter Co. was intense with time trials setting the way for qualifying and the run for the biggest race of the early season for many race teams.

Some rubbing is racing was part of the action seen by the fans in attendance as Randy and Mike Smith even had a slight incident with both cars correcting and proceeding on with Randy taking his second win in a row and becoming the early season point leader. Mike Smith chased Randy to the finish with Rich Tobias getting a great seat for the action by taking the 3rd spot. Rounding out the top 5 were Earl Roberts in the newly purchased Slingshot Show car getting 4th and Earl Maxham claiming 5th.

Saturday nights action claimed a few casualties as the Sunday events were being planned out. With many teams having at least a 3 hour driver, the program was moved along promptly and a new face appears in the Sunshine Region record books as Earl Maxham got his # 42 to the finish line just a few feet ahead of Charlie LaManna who was piloting the S&S Rental 5S to his first ever top 5.Another strong run for Roberts put his brand new car in for a 3rd place run. Rich Tobias could challenge Roberts, but didn't have enough to make the pass and slotted in for a 4th with Randy Smith getting his worst finish of the tour with his 5th place tour ending run.

A total of 26 different competitors graced the Florida entry lists and plans are in place for a repeat run in 2011.

Special thanks to East Bay and Sumter County for their early season scheduling of the Slingshot Slingerweeks II mini-tour.

After 10 laps Kyle had a new driver to deal with as brother Gary was now his on his right flank and with every passing lap, the 2 were inseparable giving the fans that braved the elements something to get warmed up about. The outside line on restarts proved to be Gary's downfall and he drifted back a few spots but still within challenging distance. With all 25 entries locked into the Herr's Snack Bowl 25 the run from the back to the front looked highly improbable but an early race tangle found that some of the quicker cars that headed to the rear knew the secrets in getting around the tacky 1/10th mile and were serious challengers during the late stages of the race.

A caution near halfway saw Mike Glass, Shannon Smith, Todd Dippel and Gary Hieber heading to the rear of the field, but all of these drivers would make an impact in the remaining 12 laps. Tiffany Wambold used some low side racing to put herself into the top 3 and become a contender to watch out for but a midrace yellow forced the Wambold Doors # 81 pit side and left the door open for a high flying Ben Whitaker in the black 13X. Whitaker was surgeon like in picking apart upcoming traffic and after starting 25th he was now on the rear bumper of Hieber with 5 to go and the Bob Gibb 31 with Jim Housworth at the wheel also was entering the picture.

The freight train led by Gary Hieber again remerged onto the scene as the talented Brandon Azzalina tried to ward off all advances, but it was to no avail as yellow would be thrown one more time for Molly Chambers' wild ride into the turn 1 barriers. Molly climbed out of her # 51B uninjured and the last restart was run single file with Whitaker and Housworth running out of time in their quest for the Herr's Snack Bowl 25 trophy.

Kyle's Friday night heat win spilled over into the 25 lap A Main and his success at running up front continued to the checkers with his first ever Herr's Snack Bowl 25 win and a chance to savor some of the Herr's goodies that was placed inside his trophy. Kyle thanked his crew, the fans who braved 7.5 inches of snow and Herr's for their sponsorship of the Atlantic City Indoor Classic. Kyle's use of the Gambler's Classic Bonus which is an added entry, not mandatory, added to the winner's purse netting him an extra $1000 and a final payoff of $1500.

The finish was only tentative as the post race inspection found second place finisher Ben Whitaker's 13X not conforming to the Slingshot Rule Book and was placed at the rear of the field.

The Herr's Snack items were a popular treat for the garage area personnel as well as the incoming fans who got a chance to experience the great products Herr's has to offer during Fan Fest. Speedway Entertainment founder Rich Tobias used real Slingshots to hurl the snack bags into an audience that was awaiting the tasty treats with track officials all having the luxury of a good snack to enjoy while performing their racing duties. Special thank you go to Ray Nemeth, Jr., Ray Nemeth, Sr., Joe Nemeth, Bill Weaver and Herr's for their sponsorship and help in distributing the goodies to everyone involved with the Atlantic City Boardwalk Classic.
