Special ed bill passes Senate by Jaimi Reimer School districts may be seeing a change in the money they receive for special education under a bill passed March 2.
The Senate passed, 32-3, HB 1178. The bill would change the state aid for special education funding formula and create five special needs categories.
Level one and two disabilities, such as learning and speech impairments and mental retardation, will be funded similar to the current formula. The average daily membership
(ADM) of the school will be used to determine the number of special education students expected to attend the school.
Funding for students with level three, four or five disabilities will go directly to the school the individual student is attending, according to the amended bill. These levels include deafness, blindness, autism and other more severe disabilities.
�Some districts lose some money, some districts gain some money (with the new formula).
This is more accurate than what we have today,�said Sen. Michael Rounds, R-Pierre.
�There have been no absolute guidelines for districts to follow ? we need to rectify this and establish rules,� said Sen. Keith Paisley, R-Sioux Falls.
�(The state) needs a system that assures all special education children get an education and are not in competition with regular education. This bill is certainly a step in the right direction,� said Gene Enck, lobbyist for the Associated of School Boards of South Dakota.
The bill was sponsored by Rep. Mitch Richter, R-Sioux Falls, and Sen. Barbara Everist, R-Sioux Falls.
HB 1178 now moves to the governor for approval.

UND Begins Spring Football PracticeAfter a week of pushing practice back due to field conditions, the North Dakota football team started spring practice on Friday.
By: Dan Corey, WDAZ
The UND football team spent the early part of the week shoveling snow off of Memorial Stadium Field. Friday, they spent time playing in it, giving coaches and players to see three very young quarterbacks.
After a long, cold winter, it was back to work for the UND football team.
Cordero Finley, UND senior linebacker, "It's great to be on the field rather than shoveling it."
And instead of tossing snow, the players were tossing footballs. One of those is Detriot Lakes, Minnesota native Joe Mollberg. And on this cold, blustery day, Mollberg is in the heat of a quarterback race.
Joe Mollberg, UND freshman quarterback, "I'm eager to get started. It's going to be good competition throughout this spring ball and fall ball next year. It's good to finally be back out there after a long winter of hard work and in the weight room."
But if the quarterback situation is up in the air, one thing is for certain-the great wide receivers.
Chris Mussman, UND head football coach, "You got a pretty good receiving core to throw to you just got to put it somewhere near them and they will hopefully come down with it."
Greg Hardin, UND senior wide receiver, "They're young so of course they're going to make mistakes but everyone makes mistakes and we're just going to get more confident in each other in what they do best and what we do best."
And North Dakota has some high expectations.
Baylee Carr, UND Jr. DB: "National championship. Someone's going to win it every year so why not us? We just need to come out step by step, day by day."

Augie looks at some pretty French comics, explains why no comics publisher will defend the internet against SOPA and has a new business model for digital comics to consider.
Full article here.
I love digital comics priced at $0.99. I purchased a bunch of the ones that were on sale for a rainy day.
About French comics :
Lord Faureston is the title of the first issue. The series is titled "D." It may stands for Dracula, since it's a vampire story.
Garulfo's story is complete in these six issues.
Cixi de Troy issues 1 and 2 have been drawn by Vatine (of Aquablue fame, among others books, like a Star Wars series or a few westerns). Vatine does the story board for issue 3, Floch finishing. The page shown on the sites are clearly under Vatine's influence.
Apparently issue 9 of Ythaq only ends the first season of the series.
Great to see the kudos for French comics. There is some amazing stuff happening there. They just have a different eye for detail in art and narrative, I just love their overall approach.
I just recently read 'The Killer' and am about to tap into 'Cyclops' by the same team, both put out in English by Archaia. I think they have a few other French translations on their list too.
As for the SOPA thing... well no surprise there. All corporations will tow that line. The joke is that at the same time as putting up these laws the official position of the US State dept is that there should be no restrictions on any internet activities - free trade, free world et al blah blah - by other countries, even if it includes restricting easy access by children to violent porn (like in Australia, where Ms Clinton expressed her displeasure). So Gangbang DP rape simulation is good for "the free world", but underground or subversive music and art that actually contributes to culture is bad.
1) Uncanny X-Force is totally worth the wait.
2) FYI - There's a book about Smurf creator Peyo in the new Previews I thought you may like...

I remember Top Cow saying that Pitt is coming back! Still looking forward to it. Darkness/Pitt took a very long time from announcement to publication so not surprised by a long silence after the original mention. I was actually hoping for a Pitt appearance somewhere in Artifacts.
Originally announced July 2010...
Also this interview from June of 2011...Top Cow proudly announces that it has acquired the rights to Pitt, the seminal character created by legendary artist Dale Keown. Keown has long considered himself part of the Top Cow family and this deal solidifies his ongoing relationship and commitment to the Cow. As part if this, Top Cow will collect previously published Pitt comics in trade paperbacks (which have never been collected before) as well as produce new Pitt comics and merchandise. Future Pitt comics will feature covers by Keown and be co-written and art directed by the creator.
So we're about due for our next mention in May of this year!Dale loves working with us so much, he's entrusted us to help him bring back his classic character Pitt in the next year in a big way, which is something I'm incredibly excited about.

Latest update from Matt Hawkins via an AMA at Reddit...
http://www.reddit.com/r/comicbooks/c...urrent/c6nk3coWe've been looking for a creative time for Pitt for a long time. Any suggestions? We want to do a new series and coordinate that with the reprinting of all Dale's old Pitt stuff. It's NEVER been reprinted.

Studio Hamburg Leads Sales Wave of Avid Installs
Popularity of System 5-MC Integrated DAW Controller Sales Growing Throughout Europe
Avid announced today that Studio Hamburg (www.studio-hamburg.de), one of Germany's most prominent production and service centers for film and television has installed a System 5-MC integrated DAW controller in their main Nuendo mixing and editing room.
Owned by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Studio Hamburg Post Production GmbH services all aspects of post-production including, video and audio editing, format-conversion, audio mixing and layback. Hamburg Post Production produces virtually all the post-production work for television, film and other productions done by Studio Hamburg GmbH, including Tator (Site of Crime), one of the country's longest running television series.
Studio Hamburg mixer, Christoph Metke who once worked on a dozen separate systems, can now achieve the perfect result using the System 5-MC and a single Nuendo workstation. The console with EuCon protocol allows direct control over all parameters just like a traditional mixing console. The Nuendo DAW not only allows unlimited track count for the sound designer, but also includes sophisticated film style mix automation. Nuendo project files now include the mix as well as the reference video, so the entire completed project is located in one folder on the workstation.
"We finally have a standardized the platform for the exchange of files. More than anything, this reduces the preparation time to configure various systems and backup projects," said Metke. "I am glad we were involved with this new technology from early on as I believe this workflow system will quickly make huge inroads into the industry."
This installation of the System 5- MC with 48 faders is the largest in Germany. Over the course of the next year, the studio's network will be expanded and all workstations throughout Studio Hamburg will be connected to improve the transfer of projects.
"On the creative side, not only does this new technology simplify the mixing of various audio formats but also integrates a host of high-quality effects processors that replaces an arsenal of outboard equipment that has been accumulated over the years. All effects are now part of the project file, and can be quickly be brought up and edited in the future," concluded Metke.
Studio Hamburg represents just one of many System 5-MC recent installations across Europe. In addition to Studio Hamburg, Accent Studios in Moscow, Paul Davies in London, Fundamental Studios in Ireland, Frauhofer Institute in Germany, and VaVaVoom and Wave Studio in Netherlands have all purchased System 5-MC's.
The innovative System 5-MC tightly integrates with DAWs such as Pro Tools, Nuendo, Logic Pro, Digital Performer and Pyramix using the high-speed EuCon control protocol over Ethernet. EuCon Ethernet protocol is the driving force behind the System 5-MC, offering simultaneous control of both multiple applications and multiple workstations. At 250 times the speed and eight times the resolution of MIDI, EuCon elevates the System 5-MC to an unprecedented level of integration with modern DAW's.
The control surface itself features 56 programmable SmartSwitches, eight touch sensitive knobs for plug-in and VST Instrument control, and twin joysticks for surround panning. The control surface can be fitted with 8-48 System 5 channel strips and includes the MC Pro media application controller for master console functions and network control of multiple DAWs. The System 5-MC can work with any application that supports EuCon, HUI or Mackie Control protocol, and can switch between multiple Mac and PC workstations at the push of a button.

We've lived in Arizona for decades, so Mexican-style cooking has become the same as "Arizona-style cooking" for us. Nothing tastes better than chili-spiced pork with tortillas.
- 1 bone-in pork loin roast (3 pounds), trimmed
- 1 package (16 ounces) dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
- 4 to 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 cans (4 ounces each) chopped green chilies
- Pepper to taste
- 5 medium carrots, sliced
- 4 celery ribs, sliced
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 3 small zucchini, sliced
- Flour tortillas, warmed
- In a stockpot, combine the first eight ingredients; cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, 3 to 4 hours or until meat and beans are tender.
- Remove pork; cool slightly. Stir carrots, celery and tomatoes into bean mixture; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Add zucchini; cook 8-10 minutes longer or until crisp-tender.
- Meanwhile, remove pork from bone; discard bone. Cut pork into bite-size pieces; return to pot and heat through. Serve with tortillas. Yield: 16 servings (4 quarts).

This was a really good healthy recipe!! I put the bone in pork loin in a crock pot on high for 2 hours and low for 6 then went by the recipe. I added a bit more chili powder, cumim and added garlic powder. Also, I added a small can of chili chipolte peppers for flavor and spice. Thank you for this recipe!! Have a ton and will be freezing some for later!!

The Good Hustle
Your Rating
Reading the program blurb describing The Good Hustle does little to explain what it's about. Seeing The Good Hustle is no help either.
The local duo of Megan Sekiya and Leigh Ann Parry take the audience out to the ball game, but it's more oddball than baseball.
The pair in their smart black and grey uniforms come out running, sliding and limbering up so one will be warmed up to bring the action to a dead stop as the other explains at length the dynamics of the knuckleball.
Of course, then it is time to make real lemonade from scratch followed by a little pitch and catch and some batting practice, not with a bat but a long broom handle. Don't ask about the mechanical arm one of the players later has attached.
The only funny bit was when the two got too frisky patting each other on the butt, otherwise The Good Hustle is disjointed, confounding and shouldn't expect a call up to the big leagues.

Health insurance reform opponents continue to spread myths about America's Affordable Health Choices Act, including the myth that reform will cost small businesses too much. However, research shows that small businesses will benefit significantly from health insurance reform in a number of ways including lower health care costs and saved jobs.
MYTH: 'Health insurance reform will cost small businesses too much.'
FACT: Under the emerging reform proposal, 87 percent of small businesses are likely to be exempt from the requirement to insure their workers. But for those that aren't, they are likely to get a better financial deal under health reform than without. A recent study by the Small Business Majority found that without health insurance reform, small businesses would pay nearly $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years in health care costs for their workers. With reform, the study shows that small businesses can save as much as $855 billion, a reduction of 36 percent, money that can be reinvested to grow the economy.
The report from the Small Business Majority highlights that the current health care system is simply UNSUSTAINABLE for small businesses. Among its many findings are the following:
- WITHOUT health reform, small businesses will pay nearly $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years in health care costs for their workers.
- WITHOUT reform, the study shows that 178,000 small business jobs will be lost in 2018 as a result of rising health care costs.
- WITHOUT reform, the study shows that $834 billion in small business wages will be lost due to high health care costs over the next ten years.
- WITHOUT reform, over the next 10 years, the study shows that small businesses will lose $52.1 billion in profits to high health care costs.
In testimony before the House Democratic Steering & Policy Committee last week, John Arensmeyer, CEO of Small Business Majority, highlighted the urgent need for health insurance reform:
"Behind the statistics, though, there are millions of [small business owners] struggling with medical bills and keeping their businesses afloat. We hear stories every day from small business owners who can't get coverage because they've been sick in the past or the health plans they are offered are outrageously priced. Louise Hardaway, a would-be entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical products industry in Nashville, had to give up on starting her own business after just a few months because she couldn't get decent coverage--one company quoted her a $13,000 monthly premium for herself and one employee."

New high-speed rail link will benefit west Cumbria, claims minister
Last updated at 14:20, Friday, 08 February 2013
A minister has pledged that the HS2 high-speed rail link will boost west Cumbria, even though it is coming no nearer than Manchester.
The claim comes from Transport Minister Simon Burns who was responding to a parliamentary question from Copeland MP Jamie Reed.
The Labour MP asked what estimate had been made of the economic benefit of HS2 to west Cumbria.
Mr Burns replied: "Phase two of HS2 will transform journey times, capacity and connectivity between major cities of the north, midlands and London enabling northern regions to fulfil their economic potential.
"Journey time improvements will be possible from new classic-compatible high speed trains serving Cumbria. "HS2 will also free up space for additional commuter, regional and freight services on the West Coast Mainline offering more opportunity for services to meet local needs."
He added: "Latest estimates published in August 2012 suggest HS2 will deliver net benefits of £64bn including over £15bn in wider economic impacts.
"If local areas seize the opportunity offered by HS2 these benefits could be greater.
"HS2 Ltd will undertake further work to assess the sub-national, regional and local economic impacts of HS2."
Ministers say the project will create 100,000 jobs and cut the journey time from Manchester to Birmingham to 41 minutes, and from Manchester to London to one hour eight minutes – almost half the present times.
Many Conservative MPs are opposed to the £32.7bn link because it will go through their rural constituencies.
However, it will be some time before the line becomes a reality.
Work is not due to start on the London-to-Birmingham section until 2017, with the whole route completed by 2033.

Im struggling with the correct use of symbol / symbol items in applescript. I can successfully list the symbols used on the page, but I cannot select them. Any suggestions on how I can select all the items on the page that are Symbol Items of symbols named "Apples" but not oranges? After that I hope to replace the instances matching the height or width of the items whichever is greater with a 3rd item name. Any suggestions would be great. Javascript is always an option as well but I had the same difficulty.
here's how to do it with JS
var idoc = app.activeDocument; // get active document
for (i=0; i<idoc.symbolItems.length; i++) // loop thru all symbol items in the active document
var symbolitem = idoc.symbolItems[i]; // get each symbol item
if (symbolitem.symbol.name == "Apples") // check if it is an instance of "Apples" symbol
symbolitem.selected = true; // if it is, then select it
Thanks much. I was going in circles. Works like a charm.
there is a much simpler solution. why not use .getByName() method? check out page 208 208 http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/pdf/illustrator/scrip ting/illustrator_scripting_reference_javascript_cs5.pdf
SymbolItem getByName (name: string)
Get the first element in the collection with the provided name.
The OP wanted all symbol instances of a given symbol name… each instance can have its own name too…
Hello Everyone,
First let me start by apologizing as I am not sure if its ok to post in this thread with a very similar question that continues on this very same topic? I hope its ok, anyway, this is great to know as I too was wondering this myself just recently, then I saw this thread when it was bumped, so awesome! I am wondering however if it is possible to extend this little script to find items that their names include a certain string with in them? So instead of just selecting items named "Apples" the script would select items that have the desired string term within the name as follows:
apple_1, apple_2, apple_3 … apple_45, etc...
Of course these would not work:
So finding the string "apple" within the items name on the page, upper or lower case as long as the letters "apple" reside somewhere in the name sequentially. Hope that makes since, I was wondering if something like this would be possible?
Any feedback, advice, scripts, are welcome, thanks everyone for your time and assitance.
you would run a match method on it, which returns true if it matches. the if statement checks if they method returns true and tells you what layers contain apples. It uses a regular expression to match it, kind of a shortcut so you don't have to do all the regex mess, starts with / ends with / and the i tells it to ignore case making it case insenstive:
var doc = app.activeDocument,
layers = doc.layers,
//string to match, change apples to anything else you want
stringToMatch = /apple/i;
//iterate through all the layers
for(var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++){
// if true, continue
//return result
print(layers[i].name+" contains apples");
ran test on all cases you posted. seems to work well.
bigredapple contains apples
juicyApple contains apples
123apples5 contains apples
appleapples contains apples
APPLES contains apples
apple_1 contains apples
Tastey Apples contains apples
_apples contains apples
apples contains apples
and if you wanted to get user input via a prompt you could use something like this:
Array.prototype.indexOf = Array.prototype.indexOf || function(value, start) {
for (var i = 0, length = this.length; i < length; i++) {
if (this[i] == value) {
return i;
return -1;
var doc = app.activeDocument,
layers = doc.layers,
matchString = 'aPpLe';
for(var i = 0; i < layers.length; i++){
var string = layers[i].name.toLowerCase();
if (string.indexOf(matchString.toLowerCase()) != -1){
print(layers[i].name+" contains apples");
but this should come with understanding that you are extending the array class and doing some hacky things with extendscript....
@muppet mark oh, I see. yeah, ok I read it fast and missed that part.
Thanks so much for your comment and code. Its very much appreciated.
I must say I only started coding myself in Illustrator a few weeks ago, so far its been going great, however there is still so much that seems foreign to me. I have been perusing the illustrator javascript reference and that has been great, as well as searching and reading tons of posts in this forum which is wonderful. So many great code snippets laying around with little nuggets to learn from and so may talented Illustrator users and coders.
I tried both your scripts in Illustrator as well as via the ExtendScript Toolkit. In Illustrator I don't seem to have anything happen, I am not familiar with the "print" method, it gives me "TypeError: print is not a function" in Illustrator, so I tried both in ExtendScript and got undefined. So I am not sure if there are things I am doing wrong trying your codes, or perhaps something else. I noticed you seem to be targeting layers in your codes which I have not really got into yet (mostly using selection, etc., thus far) I did get some output when I changed my layer name to "apple" using your codes, then it found things, but again perhaps there are things about your example that I don't understand.
Anyway, great news however your mention of using RegEx with match got me on the right track, thanks so much for mentioning that! I was not overly familiar with RegEx, so I spent some time learning up on it, wow powerful and clean stuff that will really come in handy with all types of situations. Using RegEx, I was able to come up with the following and seems to do what I wanted and somewhat extends Carlos's original script to do what I desired.
var doc = app.activeDocument;
var symbols = doc.symbolItems;
var promtText = "Search For Symbols\nType a string to search for symbols"
var findString = prompt(promtText,"");
stringToMatch = new RegExp(findString, 'i')
for (var i = 0; i < symbols.length; i++) {
var symbolitem = symbols[i];
if (symbolitem.symbol.name.match(stringToMatch)) {
symbolitem.selected = true;
Thanks so much everyone! If there is something I can do in my code better I am always all ears and wish to learn.
Swap print() for $.write() or $.writeln() when using the ESTK to debug these are the methods for getting info back to the toolkit console…
Also be careful you set a variable symbolitem to a symbol these are 2 different things and that can become very confusing… A symbolItem ( cap I ) is in the artwork of the document where a symbol is in the document symbols collection ( used or unused )
Also match does not return a boolean… could be string array or null… do use test instead…
if (stringToMatch.test(
symbolitem.symbol.name) ) {
symbolitem.selected = true;
Thanks Muppet Mark!

Also on the symbolItem, I just looked it up in the reference, I see what you mean. I was using it from Carlos's code above, but yes I understand that using reserved words can get confusing and cause issues. Thanks for letting me know, so much new stuff to learn in the reference docs.

Also match does not return a boolean… could be string array or null… do use test instead…
if (stringToMatch.test(
symbolitem.symbol.name) ) {
symbolitem.selected = true;
Thanks so much for the heads up on test, works great! Thanks so much Muppet Mark for the sound advice, improvements and direction!
In general… I use the $.write() to console methods all the way though debugging so I know where things are up to… Just comment them out as I progress once done you can remove them all… I did start out using alert() but these things are learnt as we progress… a learning curve and its still a long way up that hill… I only debug using the ESTK so print() could be totally vaild in some other text editor app…
Thanks Muppet Mark, I have only opened the ESTK a few times, but after testing these codes, I will probably begin to utilize it further in the future. Yeah I have been using alert() also some, and ah yes the learning curve. Always something to learn no matter how much we know or dont know, but it always fun to learn even with all the challenges it brings.
Thanks I appreciate your guidance and feedback. Plus all the knowledge I find laying around here with all yours and others posts.
haha, oops you're right I forget sometimes that people don't have my functions. I have a lot of helpers, its annoying to wrote $.write everytime so i wrote a print function:
function print(i) {
not too fancy.... but saves time.

Insurance telematics report explores challenges and opportunities of U.S. telematics market
Report examines how insurance companies can use telematics to improve efficiencies.
Trajectory Group LLC, a strategic advisory, business development and marketing consulting services firm, has released its Global Insurance Telematics Market Intelligence Report. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of how insurance companies can use telematics to increase operational efficiencies, determine new and more accurate pricing models and attract more customers.
Telematics could be a game changer in the insurance industry because it offers a way for insurance companies to establish rates based on actual vehicle and driving data, not on proxies such as demographics, age or gender, car model, driving record or credit score. Consumers can benefit from telematics because their insurance premiums can be personalized to their individual driving habits.
"For all the benefits telematics offers, the technology is still perceived as very complex to manage and presents many challenges including its business case," says Ralf Hug, president of the Trajectory Group. "This business intelligence report can help insurers, service providers, automotive companies and others understand the latest trends, business models and key telematics building blocks and players. It can also help these stakeholders develop and refine their telematics strategy, attract more customers and grow profits."
The Global Insurance Telematics Market Intelligence Report includes 177 pages of information and insights gleaned from more than a decade of global telematics experience. The report focuses on the U.S., European and Chinese markets and offers a deep dive into the world of insurance telematics, including market overviews; hardware, software and delivery platforms as well as value added services and analytics.
The Trajectory Group developed the report specifically for those operating in the automotive telematics, insurance telematics, aftermarket telematics and fleet management industries.
The report is available in English as well as Chinese language versions.

Delivering on the Affordable Care Act: Marketplace Premiums Lower than Expected
by ngoriel, Community Moderator
- Created: September 25, 2013, 3:21 pm
- Updated: October 4, 2013, 3:31 pm
Note: This blog is by Jeanne Lambrew, Deputy Assistant to the President for Health Policy and first appeared at WhiteHouse.gov on September 25, 2013.
At the center of the Affordable Care Act is the premise that we need to make health care more affordable and accessible for more Americans, and a new report released today demonstrates just how affordable insurance will be. The report, released by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), finds that in state after state, affordable options will be available through the Health Insurance Marketplace in 2014.
Nearly all eligible uninsured Americans (about 95%) live in states with average premiums below earlier projections. And nearly all consumers (about 95%) will have a choice of health insurance companies, each of which offers a number of different plans. Competition and transparency are driving a new set of affordable options for consumers -- it is how the law was designed. This new report shows the real impact it could have – a working a family with income of $50,000 could pay less than $100 per month for the lowest bronze plan, after tax credits.
The Marketplace will be run in partnership with States or fully by the HHS in 36 states. In these states, on average, consumers will have a choice of 53 health plans (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum plans). Young adults will have the additional option of low-cost catastrophic or youth plans. And, about one in four of these insurance companies are newly offering plans in the individual market, a sign of healthy competition.
And competition is helping to lower costs. States with the lowest premiums have more than twice the number of insurance companies offering plans than states with the highest premiums. In the 48 States (including the District of Columbia) where premiums are available, the average premium for the lowest cost silver plan in the Marketplace is more than 16 percent lower than projected.
Premiums are even lower for workers and families qualifying for tax credits. For example, in Texas, an average 27-year-old with income of $25,000 could pay $83 for the lowest-cost bronze plan, $133 for the lowest-cost silver plan, and $145 per month for the second lowest-cost silver plan after tax credits. For a family of four in Texas with income of $50,000, they could pay $57 per month for the lowest bronze plan, $239 for the lowest silver plan, and $282 per month for the second lowest-cost silver plan.
And based on the law's provisions (the premium tax credit and Medicaid expansion), nearly 6 in 10 of the uninsured will pay $100 or less per month for health coverage.
Download the full report here, or for information by state, go to wh.gov/healthreform/map.
In less than a week, the new Marketplace will be open for business. From October to March 2014, more Americans will be able to check out their choices at HealthCare.gov and find health plans that fit their lives and their budgets.
For more information, go to HealthCare.gov.

Championship Night Provides Plenty of Excitement At HPT.Com Speedway
Topeka, KS - Championship night at HPT.Com Speedway was dubbed "The Race For Hope & Faith." Two fans, Sandy and Byron Glotzbach, wanted to find a way to help celebrate Sandy's battle with cancer and their upcoming 30th wedding anniversary and they decided the best way was to add $2,000 to the night's purse. In doing so it added a lot of excitement on championship night.
Each division saw an increase in purse money at the top spot. The Modified winner would get $1,500, $750 to the Factory Stock winner, the B Mod winner would take home $700 and the Pure Stock victor would pocket $225.
As it was the last points race of the season, fans were guaranteed a shot at watching drivers take chances that they might not normally take.
Darron Fuqua had to wait until Saturday night to be officially crowned the points champion in the Washburn Tech Modified division, even though it was a couple weeks back that mathematically everyone else had been eliminated.
At the start of the Modified feature it was Cody Agler and Kerry Davis jumping out to the front of the field.
Fuqua would join the party up front charging to the 3rd position. In the past month Fuqua had been off his winning pace. He had been in this position before, but by the end of the night he would fade a couple of spots instead of move forward. This would not be one of those performances.
After a yellow flag, Fuqua would move by Kerry Davis on the restart and within two laps would work his way by Agler on the way to the top spot. Once he grabbed the top spot, Fuqua extended his lead and would go on to win #11 on the season.
His 11th win would hold a special place in his championship celebration. The win was worth $1,500, but it also signified the most Modified feature wins in a single season. He and Clint Bowyer shared the mark at 10 and with the win last night he moved to the top of the list.
Tim Karrick, a former weekly competitor at HPT.Com Speedway, put on a good show for the fans. Karrick started 6th, moved his way back a little and then figured out the track and motored all the way up to the runner-up spot by the end of the night.
Finishing in the 3rd position was Agler, Davis finished in the 4th spot and Ryan Phillips continued his strong final month to the season finishing in 5th.
The Super 8 at Forbes Landing Factory Stock division championship was still up in the air by the time the feature rolled around. Dave Samuels, the current point leader, needed to stay either in front of 2nd place Steve Herrick or just finish the feature to win his 2nd consecutive points championship.
Samuels didn't want to hold the crowd in suspense for very long. He jumped to the front of the field from his front row starting spot and he would take his 12th win of the season leading every single lap.
In 2011 Samuels would be the only champion to repeat the feat from 2010. It was a heart felt win for Samuels as he has been a mainstay in the Factory Stock division. He announced before the race that this would be his last Factory Stock race and he led the crowd to believe that he would be back racing in 2012 in a different class.
In the runner-up spot it was Steve Herrick capping off a solid season. Herrick, who held the points lead for most of the year, started the feature in the 9th spot. Herrick worked his way through traffic and made a valiant effort to get by Samuels, but it wouldn't be his night as he would settle for 2nd.
Tyson Young finished in the 3rd spot, 4th saw Frank Jaynes have his best finish of the season and James King rounded out the top 5 in the 5th position.
In the Whiteline CDL Training B Mod class it was a bit of redemption for the feature winner.
2011 was hard on Brian Murphy. Coming off a 2010 track championship, Murphy was ready to go for the season. Multiple feature wins in 2010 marked him as the man to beat early in the season.
Heading into championship night, Murphy had only visited victory lane once all year long. It wasn't a bad year for Murphy as he has been in the top 5 in points all season long, but it just wasn't the outcome he was looking for. He an rest easy heading into the off season knowing that he made it look easy on winning the $700 B Mod feature on Saturday night.
Nic Bennett had the early lead, but he would give it up to Ethan Isaacs. The two would battle for awhile, but on a restart Murphy would shoot by Bennett for the 2nd spot and not to be content with that he also would drive right by Isaacs with a power move.
Murphy, who has been running a modified and b mod this season at HPT, drove a flawless race to the checkered flag and the win.
The runner-up spot would go to Bennett, as it was his best feature finish of the season.
The 2011 points champion, Dalton Kirk, finished in the 3rd spot. Kirk, in his first season competing at HPT.Com Speedway, nails down his 2nd track championship of the year.
Dustin Thulin would finish in the 4th position and Lucas Isaacs wound up in the 5th spot at the end of the race.
Tyler Garst has been running the final month of the season with a lot of pressure. His dad, Scott Garst, picked up a win 7 weeks prior in the maiden voyage for their Casey's General Store Pure Stock project. Once Tyler had a chance to get in the car, anything less than a win wouldn't be accepted. No, we are just kidding.
Garst at the beginning of the season was an employee of HPT.Com Speedway, but as he watched the racing week after week he knew that he wanted to be behind the wheel. For years he had a lot of success racing quarter midgets all throughout the U.S. That doesn't usually mean that you are going to be successful in full-size cars, but mentally he knew how to handle the race game.
On this night Garst would have one of his better nights as he would lead the most laps in the Pure Stock feature. He got the jump on AJ Christian to start the race and never looked back.
Christian would finish 2nd, Mitch Schroer had his best finish of 2011 in 3rd, Dylan McDonald rolled to a 4th place finish and 5th went to a hard driving Dan Canady.
Zach Henery the 2011 track champion had a rough night in the feature. Jim and Becky Gruber of Gruber Trucking offered Henery a 'back row challenge.'
If Henery would give up his starting spot and start the feature as the last car, Henery would collect an extra $225.00 in cash if he were to win. Henery graciously accepted the offer. At the start of the race he would tap the back of Ken Fluery and it allowed his hood to come up in the right corner.
As he went by car after car, it wasn't long before he was sitting in the top spot. After a yellow flag, on the restart Henery would go roaring down the front stretch only to see his entire hood fly off the car. It brought out a yellow and sent him to the back of the feature with 6 laps to go. On the next restart and a car would spin in front of him and damage his ride to where he couldn't finish.
The racing at HPT.Com Speedway doesn't end yet for 2011. The Lucas Oil MLRA will be coming back on Oct. 6th and 7th with the "Capital City Clash!" Two great nights of Late Models and Modifieds on one of the best tracks in the Midwest!
