Saturday September 26, 2026 A great Day of racing – crisp clear morning – warmed up to a beautiful fall day. Track prep was awesome – racers were bangning those gears!! And a great big thank you to ProStick for putting on the PS/QS racing and the FireCore and Deb Helsel for sponsoring our SS program. All in all a super day!! Street Stick Race winners were Don Palm – race Winner & Bounty; Brandon Margo – Runner Up; Clutch Artist Jake Shannon.

What a great story from the PID/Keystone Nostalgia Nationals… 45 years since he last raced the car, Donnie Palm took his ’69 Boss 302 (and, yes, it’s a real deal Boss 302) to the Winner’s Circle in the Street Stick Class!!! His sons, grandson, nephews and family friends all race Mopars at Keystone, but Don bought his Boss in 1971 or so, raced it for a bit and retired it. It’s a numbers matching car but there’s a 351 under the hood (and on the windshield), with the original 302 on a bench in the garage! Such a cool story, a great family and an amazing piece of Ford history!!! Congrats on the win!!!


Be sure to look for the UMTR World Headquarters at all of our upcoming races. – thank you Larry Kortkamp!!
