On October 12, 2013 more than 20 club members were treated to an exciting Hornet race at Citrus County Speedway.

After finishing third last year, Jerry "Flash" Conkle was looking for more. Rookie driver "Mean Gene" White was ready to show what he had.

"Flash" took the early lead in the 15-lapper, but "Mean Gene" powered to the front after a few laps. White hugged the inside line, while Conkle was high, wide and handsome during the middle of the race. White led until Conkle made an impressive pass on the outside coming out of turn four on the final lap.

"Flash" held on for the win and the crowd went wild. "Mean Gene" came in second. The truth be known, there were just two Hornets entered.

Later, "Flash" shocked the crowd in Victory Lane when he announced his retirement from racing.
