8 racers showed up for some fun on Wednesday night. Was a fun night of racing
and good to just enjoy an evening. Justin broke in his new car Valvoline #10 Pontiac, and Dwayne and George and Derek had new cars also. Dwayne was in a sidewinder Tide #32, and George was running a #14 Pontiac. Derek had a #32 sidewinder Taurus.
Derek was super fast in his Tide 32 “sidewinder” Taurus he was clocking off
Speeds so fast that the minimum lap time had to be set to 1.5 seconds. Previous
Fast times were close to 2.10 so fastest possible lap had been set to 2.0 seconds.
He said that some of his laps were not counting during the heat races and that was
Due to the fact that he was going so fast that the timer was not picking him up.
Tony raced the McDonalds #94 Taurus. Bobby rejoined us racing after many years off
And had a great night, and with all those years off, still was a tough competitor. He still being a Rusty Wallace fan was in the #2 Miller car.
We also missed a good friend Rick, who couldn’t make it, and is always a tough competitor in his #43 STP Pontiac.
Mark is taking a hiatus from racing with us on Wednesdays.
We ran 25 lap segment heats in round robin format.
Top four finishers from the heats were:
1 JP
2. Bobby
3. Mike
4. George
I (Mike Sr.) gave up my feature position and placed names in a hat and the winner was
Dwayne. So he went on to the feature. George forfeited his feature position to his son Derek. The feature was a tight race throughout and had some good racing in it.
The feature was setup for 50 lap segments and round robin format.
The 3rd heat ended a tie with Bobby and JP in dead heat at the finish. Derek was in
The Tide #32 and was so fast Derek was all over the track, and including the floor on a couple of occasions. If he could have kept it in the slot he would have surely dominated.
The feature win went to Bobby in the #2 Miller Taurus, proving he is still a tough competitor.
Feature finish order:
1. Bobby
2. JP
3. Dwayne
4. Derek
