LIFE IS A DRAG - By Dave Mance
For a while on
Saturday it looked like we may get rained out for the third time
this season, but Mother Nature fooled us again. We had a few
sprinkles but nothing that would stop us from drag racing. The
weatherman threatened us with a 60% chance of rain and that’s
what might have caused us to have a low car count for that night.
Needless to say, the “die-hards” showed up and we had another
good night of racing and even got out a little earlier than usual.
So, here are the winners from August 25th:
Super Pro - 1st
place – Craig Giordano, Webster
2nd place – Gene
Stankivitz, Chittenango
3rd place –
Chuckie White, Ontario
4th place – Eric
Beckens, Sodus
Modified - 1st
place – Sam Capizzi Jr., Rochester
2nd place – Sam
Capizzi Sr., Rochester
3rd place –
Keith Granholm, Syracuse
4th place – Matt
Himes, Ontario
Street - 1st place
– Joe Graham, Marion
2nd place – Sam
DeMareo, Ontario
3rd place – Nick
Tantalo, Rochester
We did not have a
gamblers race due to the threat of rain.
We pushed them
through the night because we did not want to have to finish this
race on Saturday, September 1st, as we are anticipating more cars
being there due to the National Dragster Challenge. I have four
“Wallys” to award, so I have to get a gamblers race in that
night and didn’t need to have to finish up a race from the week
before.
Now for our “good
luck/bad luck” driver awards…the “Good Luck” driver award
goes to Craig Giordano. Craig won the “box/no-box shoot-out”
the week before and won Super Pro on the 25th. This man is on a
roll so, watch out, he’s on fire!! The “Bad Luck” award has
to go to Dave Stock again. He broke his transmission two weeks
earlier and came back to try and retrieve some points only to
break the rear end of his car. This will hurt him because he’s
in the top two in points.
Only three more
drag races are left in this season, so if you haven’t made it to
the track yet, now is a good time to come out and enjoy the fun.
The point’s race is really tight in all classes and it will be
interesting to see who will be running the “Race of Champions”
at the bracket finals in late September. Hope to see you Saturday
and don’t be afraid to come up and say “Hi”. It’s always
nice to talk to the fans. Have a good week.
