The King of the Cash is where we take the winner of each heads-up trophy class and perform a dial-in run-off until we have the last racer standing – namely the King of the Cash.
The last four duos saw some mighty vicious fighting for the cash. The first to the last to duke it out was the JJ Class Renie Carrizales of Waco who’s sponsored by Benny’s Hog Shed, Vortez, and Sambo’s and Smokin’ Ray’s Tavern. He was pitted San Antonio’s Mario Benavidez who’s sponsored by Cricket Cell Phones. Renie had a dial-in of 13.00 and Mario’s was 9.42. This where the racer closest to his dial-in without going over wins this round. Renie triumped.

The last duo was Pat Cole of Bryan, TX who’s sponsored by Double Vision versus F.A.R.B. Racing’s Doug “Buzzard” Meador of Rockport, TX. Buzzard ever since arriving on the track, was wrenching and carrying on with his motor. Mr. Captain Chrome Paul Jones of Dallas actually hand delivered the needed part. Buzzard wasn’t able to take the practice laps but he made his class eliminations – look where he’s at now – biding for King of the Cash. Pat prevailed the victor over this match.
Now we’re down to the final match for the prestige King of the Cash and of course the cash!! Final round -Renie “Sleepy” Carrizales versus Pat Cole. This is what everyone was waiting to see …and win!! Pat Cole became the happy racer – King of the Cash!! This was Pat’s first time ever winning money on a motorcycle and he has been racing for twenty years I know of. Of course, he’s always won trophies but I was the first to hand him both!!
