What a great evening that was had out at Midwest Block & Brick for our HBACF Belt Sander Races! We certainly know how to draw a crowd! With around 75 in attendance eyes were definitely on who would take home the prize! Would the stock class winner be True Grit or Grit-R-Done teams from the City of Springfield….or would Murney Associates beat them in the end!! There were spectators that lined all up and down the track and some who could not keep their eyes off the BIG screen with instant replay (watch video below)!
The music was cranking and the BBQ was great, people were mingling the crowd and the buzz word of the hour was Belt Sander!
Thank you to our Sponsors: Springfield Electric, LLC, Midwest Block & Brick, Murney Associates, HK&W Supply Co., Creative Outdoor Lighting, Audio Input,
