After a year of planning, a production full of pomp and circumstance was presented to a packed house at the 45th Annual Cornwell Tools Night Under Fire on Aug. 6, 2022 at Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio.

Guests from across the country and Canada gathered, despite the heat and humidity, to see a wide variety of entertainers and racers give it everything they had to put on a show for them. Their stage was the track perfectly prepared by Summit Motorsports Park Track Manager Evan Bader, Kurt Johnson of Total Venue Concepts and a hardworking track crew. Ron Huntley and Summit Motorsports Park president Bill Bader Jr. called all of the amazing action.

As part of opening ceremonies, entertainers and racers paraded down track while being introduced by Bader Jr., who sported a tuxedo for this very special occasion. The Rhythm and Rhyme Barbershop Quartet performed “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and a giant flag was ceremoniously unfurled over the track surface by a team of people led by Bobbie Bader.

In Pingel Top Fuel Motorcycle Shootout presented by CycleDrag, Larry “Spiderman” McBride rocketed to a 5.77 to claim victory over Dave Vantine, who was not far behind with a 5.97. Both riders went into the sand at the end of the track, but thankfully, neither was injured.
