LIFE IS A DRAG - By Dave Mance
It really would
have been nice to have the weather we have been having on Saturday
nights occurring during the week last week. My wife, Suzi, and I
took a “mini” vacation to Atlantic City and the three days we
were there it just rained and was cloudy and the temperature
reached about 68 degrees the whole time we were there. Granted, we
had a great time, but didn’t win any money, but it was nice to
get away.
Saturday, August
18th, was our “box/no-box shootout.” We had another great
turnout having 111 cars show up to race. The top eight winners in
both box and no-box all received pay-outs. We had a few breakdowns
throughout the night, but we did manage to finish by curfew (11:30
P.M.), although I was not able to get a “gamblers” race in
that evening. Oh well! The following are the top eight in both
classes:
BOX CLASS NO-BOX
CLASS
1st place –
Craig Giordano 1st place – Joe Williams
2nd place –
James Young 2nd place – Howard Smith
3rd place – Mark
Talmadge 3rd place – Nina McDonald
4th place – Bob
Mohr 4th place – Bruce Sessions
5th place –
Larry Fillmore 5th place – Brian Moore
6th place – Sam
Capizzi Sr. 6th place – Bill Baker
7th place –
Lance Pinto 7th place – Mike LaRose Jr.
8th place – Mike
Adam 8th place – Matt Himes
Once we were down
to the top eight places in each class, we then ran off the two
first place winners (Craig Giordano and Joe Williams) for the 6
foot trophy and the extra $100.00. Craig Giordano came out on top
and went home with $850.00 in his pocket and a trophy taller than
him. (Hopefully the paper will post his picture with this article
for all to see). All in all it was another great night of racing
and I believe everyone had some fun. Don’t forget September 1st
is our “National Dragster Challenge” where there will be a “Wally”
trophy for every 1st place winner in each class. Hope to see you
on Saturday.
