LIFE IS A DRAG by Dave Mance   

I’m on vacation this week so I’m going to make this short and sweet so I may enjoy my time off. Saturday, June 9th was a beautiful night for racing (again) and things went off with only a few hitches. We managed to get done on time and made our curfew, so let’s get right to the winners circle:

Super Pro - 1st place – Craig Giordano, Webster

2nd place – John Cira, Rochester

3rd place – Joe Ragusa, Rochester

4th place – Frank Panaro, Rochester

Modified - 1st place – John Cira Jr., Rochester

2nd place – Dave Stock, Weedsport

3rd place – Anthony Platania, Rochester

4th place – Warren Clark, Rochester

Street - 1st place – Sam Capizzi Jr., Rochester

2nd place – John Cira Jr., Rochester

3rd place – Thomas Fletcher, Churchville

4th place – Jeremy Eaton, Ontario

Gamblers - No time this week to run this class…sorry!

Here’s my “hard luck” and “good luck” driver awards this week…The “hard-luck” driver was our “good luck” driver from last week, Mike Galle. Mike broke the rear-end of his truck and spun the drive shaft right off during eliminations. This was one reason we could not get the Gamblers class run as it took a lot of time to clean this up. The “good luck” driver goes to Frank Panaro. Frank was supposed to run two other drivers to decide on the fourth place finish, but the other two drivers never showed up in time to run off for this position, so Frank got it automatically. Good job guys!

We are running a big race on the 4th of July (Box and No-Box). Gates will open at 11:00 A.M. and we can run until 5:30 P.M... I will let you know at a later date the fee to enter this race. The trophy is as tall as I am (6 ft. 6 in.) but I did not get a picture of it yet. If I do, I will post it in my next article. Have a safe week and I’ll see you at the track.
