LIFE IS A DRAG - By Dave Mance
Well, the season
is coming to an end. There are only two more races left and it is
still a close race in points for all the drag racing classes.
Everybody is looking for that final trophy and end of the season
pay-out at the banquet.
Saturday,
September 1st, was the deciding night on who would represent the
track in the “race of champions” at the bracket finals and it
certainly was an exciting evening. When all was said and done,
Paul Kelsch will be in Super Pro, Matt Himes in Pro, and Sam
Capizzi Jr. in Street. These are three good racers that will
represent our track very well in the “race of champions”. Good
luck to them all and now let’s get to the results of Saturday’s
race…
Super Pro - 1st
place – Sam Capizzi Sr., Rochester
2nd place –
Timmy Newland, Rochester
3rd place – Eric
Beckens, Sodus
4th place –
Westley Cayea, Williamson
Modified - 1st
place – Matt Himes, Ontario
2nd place – Alan
Webber, Wolcott
3rd place –
Richie Liberi, Marion
4th place –
Steve Michalke, Newark
Street - 1st place
– Dan Frank, Marion
2nd place – Joe
Graham, Marion
3rd place – T.J.
Parks, Ontario
4th place – Gary
French, Seneca Falls
Gamblers – 1st
place – Mark Tallmadge, Williamson
2nd place –
Scott Beasaw Sr., Ontario
All of our first
place winners not only received their pay-out but also took home a
“Wally” trophy to put on their shelves.
The “Good Luck”
driver award for this week goes to Mark Tallmadge for his strategy
in the Gamblers race in the final four rounds to get him the win
and the “Wally”. The “Bad Luck” driver award, I’m
afraid, goes to Dave Stock AGAIN! This is the third week in a row
that his car broke which made him lose valuable points and just
miss out of being in the “race of champions” at the bracket
finals. I hope his bad luck doesn’t follow him to the bracket
finals because he is a good driver and may go far in winning the
overall race.
Just a reminder;
by the time you see this, there will only be one race left so hope
you show up for the final night. Have a good week. Keep it between
the lines!
