RC Roper and Team "Victory is Jesus" take Top Honors on Easter Weekend at Charlotte County Motorsports Park!
If there was ever a story book ending to a awesome race weekend this was the one to remember for veteran RC Roper and his Race Team of "Big" Gary Brown, "Lil" Gary Brown and Scott Steffe. "The Racin Cowboy" galloped to an impressive victory in the Team "Victory is Jesus" # V8 Maxim chassis sponsored by Sticks Pest Control, Keels & Wheels Magazine and Westcoast Powder Coating. This race win was huge for Roper as he will enter into Chemo Therapy treatment for Cancer early Monday morning.
Roper was chased hard by friend and fellow teammate Mike "Wingman" Tharp in the Jesus 1 Gambler to make a 1-2 finish for the Fort Myers natives. Greg "The Jet" Leonard brought home a very nice 3rd place finish in his first outing in the # 85 Pooles Auto Body # 85 Shaw chassis. "Tiny Tim" George was spectacular driving daughter Suzanne George's # 1 Shaw ride. George and Dennis "D-Man" Misuraca's # 3d Sparkle-Brite Pools Schnee battled all night long back and forth in exciting fashion to round out the top five.
