| Peacock Dominates for 2nd Win at East Bay Raceway Park Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | Posted by: Mean Gene |
Gibsonton, FL ..Oct.25,2008...Late Model action, always intense at Eastbay, was even more extreme as the racing season began to wind down for the year. Josh Peacock and his team knew they could get the job done after picking up their 1st win earlier in the year. Peacock dominated the feature event, holding off veterans like David Schmauss, Roger Crouse, Bobby Alexander Sr, and more for his 2nd win of the year. Phillip Cobb finished 2nd after winning his heat race earlier in the evening while Steve Miller rounded out the top 3. David Schmauss won heat race #1 and Steve Miller was the winner of heat race #2.

| Shan Smith Visits Victory Lane with 1st Win at East Bay Raceway Park Sunday, October 19, 2008 | Posted by: Mean Gene |
Home Track Pays Off for the 17SS Team
The Late Models furnished the fans with some of the best racing of the year. Ryan Mitchell picked up the win in his Heat Race, leading every lap to the checkered flag. He was awarded with the pole for the 25 Lap A-Main Feature and led most of the race. The action was intense as veteran driver #105 David Schmauss and the 17SS machine of Shan Smith put on an incredible show of their own with their side-by side battle on each restart. That battle would finally prove to much for the #105 team, but that allowed Smith to then make his run at the leader Mitchell, who held the lead until lap 23. Mitchell got crossed up, and spun in turn 4, sending him to the rear and ruining an otherwise excellent run by the 5k team. After that, Smith hung on to win his 1st ever A-Main Feature at Eastbay Raceway Park. Equally as impressive was the #41 driver, Travis Varnadore, who is currently 2nd in the Championship Points race behind KD Kelley. Unfortunately for Kelley, his night also ended early as he was caught up in an accident that literally destroyed the right front of his car. Varnadore, who started 14th, passed some of the most successful Late Model drivers in the state to finish 2nd, moving him ever closer to Kelley for the Points lead. Matt Miller, Roger Crouse and Steve Miller rounded out the top 5. Matt Miller won Heat Race #2 and Roger Crouse Heat Race #3.

Photo by Mean Gene - Racin Roundup TV
Gibsonton, FL. (June 28,2008)..In the Late Models another great field of cars was on hand as 19 cars took the green flag for their 25 lap feature event. Steve Miller got an early jump on the field and led many of the early laps. Miller’s night was cut short when he and Jeff Mathews collided in turn 1 on mid race restart. JR Prather, Jr took over the lead with the exit of Miller and Mathews and would lead until he got together with Trevor Merrell in turn 4. These events opened the door for the hard charging Bobby Alexander, Sr. to take the lead and eventually the win. Alexander, Sr. was able to hold off pole sitter Travis Varnadore for his first win of the season. Alexander, Sr. started in the 19th position, shotgun on the field. Varnadore finished 2nd. Ted Erskine started 7th and finished 3rd. KD Kelley finished 4th and John Norris earned his first top 5 of the season with a 5th place finish. Prather and Varnadore won the heat races.

| This web page is dedicated in loving memory of Scott “Duke” Adler Thursday, May 10, 2007 | Posted by: Mean Gene |
This web page is dedicated in loving memory of
Scott “Duke” Adler
Nov 20, 1985 – Apr 7, 2007
On November 20, 1985, Gene & Edwinia Adler announced the birth of their second son, Scott Eugene Adler. He was the baby of three kids and the light of the whole family’s eye. When Scott started to talk he could not pronounce his J’s. And he loved juice but he would call it duice. At this time my father, Gene Adler ran with this…. And that’s how Scott’s name was forever changed to “Duke”.
At the very young age of 10, Scott wrote and illustrated his very own comic book. The family knew then, they had a very special child. Scott loved to draw & write. When he was just 13 years old his Nanny bought a computer. And this is when Scott’s love for computers began. He took his love of drawing and writing and applied it to the computer. He always said when he grew up he wanted to be a comic book writer. But, instead he became a web designer.
In 1999 James Adler decided to start his own racing TV show. It was originally; called Cruisin Scene TV with the Racin Roundup. The show was about, hot rods, classic cars, and racing. James knew he needed help making this show successful. He convinced his little brother, Scott Adler to join the show along with his father, Gene Adler. The show became a family affair. James put Duke in charge of the graphics and technical support. Duke took this role on with enthusiasm.
Due to the popularity of the show, James & Gene knew they had to start their own web site.
James again recruited his younger brother to help make his dream of the Racin Roundup website come true. This was a project that Scott was proud to head up. He enjoyed doing anything on a computer and helping out his family. He was a computer guru in the eyes of the Adler family. The kid knew anything and everything about computers and web design. He was in charge of updating all the information you see on this website. This website was totally designed and maintained by Duke.
When most of us can barely turn on a computer, Scott thought himself how to design web sites with no technical training. He designed not only this websites but, many others. But the Racin Roundup website was his first priority. He would brag to all his friends; about his Dad’s TV show. This was a little secret that his dad never knew.
Unlike his dad and brother, Duke didn’t not enjoy racing. He would rather be watching or designing a wrestling website. But all of that didn’t matter when it came to helping out on the show or website. He did all of this because he loved his family.
I hope you enjoy what my brother did for all the Racin Roundup fans!!
Duke will forever be loved and missed by his family & friends.
I love you always my little brother!
Love, Your Sister
