Snydersville

October 3rd 2008

What a showing for Microstocks! M.O.M. rolled in to town for their 25 lap makeup feature. The Controlled Stocks had their makeup feature and a good contingent of Sportsman were on had as well bringing the total car count to 20. In the Modified feature Walt Morrison took second spoiling the Team Total Clean sweep of the top spots with Brian Braddock in first and Carl Sheier in third followed by Uncle Nick taking 4th. In the controlled feature everyone had troubles getting traction the slick track, everyone except for the 1 car of Chris Connor who came home in first place followed by the 24x (later Disqualified) and the 57 of Ted Harris who was later awarded 2nd. Final controlled stock finishing order was 1, 57, 04, 6-18, 94, 12a, 10, 24x(DQ'd)

Up Coming Events

In the world of Microstocks we have a few important events coming to consider. First up is Snydersville Speedways 25 lap Controlled Stock feature. After 2 Rained out Fridays and clear skies in the forecast for this Friday, both invaders and locals have severe cases of "itchy throttle feet". With at least 4 regulars and 4 invaders known to be planning on racing we are looking at a full field. Who else will show up and throw their helmet in the ring? On a second note, Will there be a Microstock Modified make up date too?

Following this weekends events the World Formula tour will be rolling in to Poughkeepsie's ultra fast paved 1/5th mile oval on the 12th of October. With a tight points race the championship is up in the air. Will Kenny Lund bounce back from a broken tow vehicle? Will Don Boonstra prevail? Will the "New Kid" sweep the series? Or will an Asphalt stand out prevail? There is only one way to find out.

Boonstra Ends 20 Year Drought

The World Formula Modified Tour rolled into Shellhammers for their last visit of 2008 this past Saturday night with Don Boonstra from Bloomingdale,NJ garnering his first World Formula win ever and his first since 1988 at “The Home of Champions, Pinebrook Speedway.
Boonstra in the #55 “BakeMark Bullet” was recipient of the pole position for the 20 lap feature by virtue of his Heat race win earlier in the evening. Boonstra was the pole sitter but Adam Kievit in the #46 got the early jump and fell into first off the line. It took the #55 machine 3 laps to make a low-groove move in turn 1 to take the lead that he never gave up. While Boonstra was stretching his lead Kievit and Roberto Gonzales in the #4 battled it out for second. Gonzales was able to take over 2nd when the #46 came down with a soft rear tire.
WFT Notes: The first place finish vaults Boonstra into the 2008 points lead setting up an interesting battle between himself, Kenny Lund and Roberto Gonzalez for the Championship. This battle should continue until the final race at Oakland Valleys’ Novermberfest Race. Lund had an unfortunate bad turn of events when his tow vehicle took sick on the way to the track. Look for an all out effort by Lund in the #17 Phenomenon Designs to recapture the point lead. The win by Boonstra makes for the sixth different car that has crossed the finish line first for the WFT this year.
The next race for the Tour is at Poughkeepsie Speedway on October 12th for the “Empire State 50”.

Behind the Scenes at Oakland Valley

The season finale brought out the true meaning of "Brothers in the Pits". A field of 12 cars showed up, including Jeannie Hiddeman, Walt and Teri Morrison, Harry Ladlee, and Richie Price. Walt and Harry both had new Modified motors and it looked like a swarm of bees as everyone ran back and forth helping each other. Parts and tires were passing from crew to crew, as working out the bugs was the order of the day.

Three quarters of the K&K Team were on vacation, so, Tom Ervin loaded the 99 car into his newly painted El Camino and showed up with no help. As luck would have it, the motor on the 99 car had a problem and Tommy missed two practices and the first heat. Fortunately, he had a spare motor and made it out for the second heat. Tom's bad luck wasn't over, as there was a wreck which he couldn't avoid and the 99 limped off the track with a busted right rear wheel and a bent axle. In the true spirit of M.O.M., Andy Hiddeman and Carl Scheier ran to Tommy to offer help, but it was Uncle Nick's big hammer that saved the day for the 99. Tommy beat on that axle til we thought the hammer would break and he made it out for the feature. The big hammer also straightened out the 8 car of Jeannie Hiddeman.

Uncle Nick started on the pole by virtue of winning both heats, but it was Andy Hiddeman, passing the 5 car on the outside going into turn 1, who led the first lap. Nick made an inside pass to take over the lead for a few laps before turning it sideways to avoid a lapped car. The hole on the bottom was there and who should fill it, but Tom Ervin in the 99. Nick pressed him hard knowing that the 99 was bent up and the pressure forced Tommy into the marbles. Nick regained the lead again, followed by Brian Braddock in Carl Scheier's 82 car. Top three across the line were Uncle Nick, Brian and Tommy who came from the rear.

The night's theme was "never give up" as Andy Hiddeman had a great run in spite of losing his neck brace which left him in great pain by the last lap. Harry Ladlee worked his tail off changing tires and a broken carb to put on a solid run against the M.O.M. regulars.

There would have been no "show" at all if not for Jim Van Dine's gal, Lisa and Judy Cottone who helped Carl start 12 cars.

All in all, a great night for the Modified Outlaw Microstocks, Brothers and Sisters All !

Cottone and Morrison claim M.O.M. 2008 Finale
8/23/08

Cuddebackville, NY - Saturday, August 23rd the Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks (M.O.M.) closed out their 2008 points season at The Dirt Oval at Oakland Valley Raceway Park. The group had competed at Oakland Valley once earlier this season with Tom’s River NJ driver “Uncle” Nick Cottone dominating the day to win on his 71st birthday. Cottone was the favorite to win again and he didn’t disappoint, winning both heat races to put his self owned #5 on the pole for the start of the feature. Flanking Cottone for the start was Andy Hiddemen, who was having his best night of the 2008 season.

At the start Hiddemen got a nose out ahead of Cottone, and the duo ran that way for two laps with Hiddemen scored as the leader. Cottone used the inside groove to eventually claim the lead, followed by Hiddemen and Brian Braddock. The action slowed briefly for a lap six caution, but all cars were able to continue. Tom Ervin, who had started in tenth position re-started in fourth and took advantage of the opportunity by moving into 2nd behind Cottone. Braddock also used the re-start to get by Hiddemen for third, and the top four began to pull away from the rest of the field.

At the half-way mark Cottone had trouble with lapped traffic, opening the door for Ervin to take the lead. On three laps later Cottone managed to get the nose of his #5 under Ervin and the two raced side-by-side into turn three. Both cars drifted up the track in the middle of the turn, and Cottone re-took the lead from Ervin with Braddock following him through to claim second. The very next lap Harry Ladlee Sr. took fifth position from Jim VanDine. Cottone stretched out the lead to the checkers for his second win of the 2008 season, followed by Braddock, Ervin, Hiddemen, and Ladlee. Terri Morrison crossed the line in 10th position overall in her first visit to the track but was awarded the Controll ed Sto ck win as the highest finisher running a Controlled Stock engine against the Modifieds.

Finishing order – Cottone, Braddock, Ervin, A. Hiddemen, Ladlee, VanDine, Dennis Hiddemen, Walt Morrison, Jean Hiddemen, Terri Morrison, Richie Price

This ended the 2008 points season for the Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks. The unofficial results have Tom Ervin first in points with 4 feature wins, Brian Braddock in second with 1 feature event win, and Dennis Hiddemen in third.

While the regular season is over for the 2008 season, M.O.M. participants plan to compete in the annual “Money Race” at Snydersville Speedway on September 12th.

WFMT - Shellhammers Summer Spectacular August 30th

Next up on the calander for the World Formula Modified Tour is the Summer Spectacular at Shellhammers Speedway on August 3oth. If you've never been to Shellhammers Speedway, this is one of most fun tracks to race a microstock at-1/8 mile high banked hard clay with a lot of bite. Lap times are typically in the low 10's, but expect to see times in the 9 second range as the track crew at Shelly's prepares a very fast track for this event. It he car count is over 15 cars, this race will be guaranteed $250 to win, otherwise it will be an 80% payback. We are also working on some extra sponsorship for this race, so the purse could be even higher! The format for this race is time trial qualifing instead of heats (3 cars on the track for 4 laps) and a 40 lap feature.
Pre-entry for this race is $30 (see entry form link below-must be recieved by Aug. 23rd) and day of the event is $40. All cars must be registered and inspected by WFMT-single race temporary reg. is $10 and full season registration is $50. With 170 laps of feature racing left this season-there still time to get out there and have some fun!!
We'd love to see some new faces at this exiciting track-will any of the Snydersville regulars make the trip down? The Mine Hill Gang? There were a lot of cars from Wall last year that haven't been seen in a while. Let dust 'em off and go racin'!!

If anyone has any questions about this race or competing at any WFMT events, please feel free to contact Kenny Lund at phenomenondesigns@usa.net

Snydersville

Things were relatively uneventful for the controlled stock class last night. Thankfully, a wrist-braced but happy Mystie Gargone returned with her car none the worse for wear, and went on to claim the race when her competitor Teri Morrison dnf'd due to clutch failure.

For the modified micro class, it was quite the opposite. It was a rather full field, with five showing up from Carl Schier's Modified Outlaw Micro team (Carl, Brian Braddock, Denny and Andy Hindeman,and Jimmy VanDyne), as well as a lone driver, Dave ? in the modified winged animal (champ?) class, combined with sentimental track favorite Walt Morrison. They had a lively heat race, in which 3 of the M.O.M. team tangled, resulting in one of them (Andy, the #8) being put out of commission for the night.

The ensuing feature was exciting to watch. Carl and Brian contended hotly for first, while Hindeman, Morrison and VanDyne duked it out for third. Morrison had gone as far back as fifth, when in a strikingly bold move he took third back from Hindeman, then VanDyne from the outside. Morrison went on to say how delighted he was that his self-made, no-frills stock block motor had performed so well for him, expecially since it was essentially in the "breaking-in" stage.

The M.O.M.'s will be going on the Oakland Valley in Cuddebackville, NY on August 23rd, and invite all modified micros to compete, as well as the controlled microstock class. In addition, they look forward to keeping the track at Snydersville on their regular agenda.

M.O.M. Beats Mother Nature

8/10/08

St. Johns, PA – Sunday the Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks (M.O.M.) dodged raindrops to get in their fifth and final appearance of the season at Mountain Speedway. Bill Kriegner Jr. led the field to the green, but was quickly overhauled by a tight running trio. John Kazmierski took the early lead and soon had Tom Ervin challenging on the outside. As the two ran side-by-side for the lead Bill Kriegner Sr. moved into third but was unable to pass while the battle for first continued. After several laps of this Ervin finally took the top spot, allowing Kriegner Sr. to challenge Kazmierski for second successfully. Kriegner Sr. gave chase to Ervin with Kazmierski close behind. A late race caution regrouped the field, and at the re-start it was Kriegner Sr. challenging Ervin for the lead. Ervin prevailed to win his fourth Mountain Speedway victory of the season, followed closely by Kriegner Sr. and Kazmierski.

The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will finish out their 2008 season on August 23rd at Oakland Valley Raceway in Cuddebackville, NY. There is no club fee to participate in M.O.M. events, and all Modified and Controlled Stock competitors are welcome to compete.

M.O.M. at Mountain Speedway Sunday August 10th

The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks (M.O.M.) will return to Mountain Speedway this Sunday, August 10th for the fifth and final time this season. Pits Open 11:00 am, Grandstands Open 12:00 pm, Practice 12:30 pm, & Heats 2:00 pm. Mountain Speedway has again requested that all Micro Stocks run Transponders for this race. (Transponders may be rented at the pit shack when registering for the class.)

In the April 19th M.O.M. season opener at Mountain Speedway Tom Ervin pulled off a last-to first victory. On May 11th Brian Braddock answered back by capitalizing on a front row draw to dominate the day. Ervin held off Denny Hiddemen in a hard fought battle to win on May 25th, and Nick Cottone won his first race of the season at Oakland Valley on July 5th. July 20th Ervin again visited victory lane at Mountain Speedway, so he will have to start in the rear of both the heat race and the feature event this time. Andy Hiddemen, John Kazmierski, Jim Van Dine, and Bill Kreigner Sr. have been among others making strong runs at Mountain Speedway this season. This will be their last chance at Mountain Speedway's Victory Lane, so it will be interesting to see who steps up. Can Denny Hiddemen break his second place jinx to finally grab a win at Mountain, or will someone else grab the gold? One way to find out is to be there!

Sundays race is again open to all Modified Micro Stocks and Controlled Stock Micro Stocks. There is no club fee to race with M.O.M. Come out and join the fun!

Friday Night at the Races

Snydersville's Friday night (8/1) attendance was light (perhaps due to the heat?) The controlled micros had some spirited racing nonetheless. Participating were the usual players: Harry Ladlee Sr., Lee Anne Tonkin, Mystie Gargone and Teri Morrison, accompanied by the lone micro-modified, Walter Morrison. The heat was relatively uneventful; the real action took place in our feature, which started off with Ladlee on the pole, Tonkin dropping out due to equipment failure, Gargone taking a spin and hitting the wall, and Teri ending up 2nd to Ladlee. Walt, of course, swept his class.

Winners were
Russ Benke Jr. Sportsman
Brian Correll Sr. Sportsman
Harry Ladlee Sr. Controlled
Walt Morrison Modified

Gargone reported that she had snapped a tie-rod (hence the crash), and that though she left the track in a sling expects to be back next week. We are all glad she wasn't injured enough to interrupt what has been an exciting season for her thus far.

We are anticipating some more action next week with a impending visit from M.O.M., a superior group of racers that always gives a much-welcome challenge for the Snydersville regulars. Should be a great show!

WFMT Bakemark Classic Double Header

Bark and Kosch Split Series Wins
July 25
The mighty World Formula Modified Tour invaded central Pa. this weekend
for the "BakeMark Classic" . The two day event sponsored by
BakeMark ingredients supply company offered the chance for a driver to collect
$175.00 for a 2 feature win.
Friday night's race event at Selingsgrove Raceway Park saw the mighty
Micros doing battle in the scheduled 25 lap feature and with George Bark driving
the Kievit owned #46,the outside pole was all he needed. Right from the green
flag Bark jumped out to an early lead and was not to be challenged for the
remaining laps. The battle for second was where the challenge ensued. Pole
sitter, Kenny Lund in the Phenomenon Designs #17 was able to drop into second
after the quick start of Bark. Heat winner, Don Boonstra started in third in the
#55 for the feature after pulling the #3 chip to invert the top 3 heat
finishers. For the first 6 laps Boonstra and Lund battled it out, with Lund
being challenged in turn 3 repeatedly. Boonstra, after many attempts to pass
received his chance when the #17 of Lund bobbled a bit in turn 3 giving the #55
car just enough room to pass and finish second for the event. Rookie of the year
contender, Roberto Gonzales came home in fouth.

Feature Finish top 4: BARK, Boonstra, Lund, Gonzales


Night 2 brought the World Formula Tour to the "Action" track of Greenwood Valley. This 25 lap event was not decided to the last lap where the finish order changed considerably. The race was set up to be a dramatic one when the Bark #46 was awarded the pole position from his earlier heat victory and the 1K of Tommy Kosch was sitting on the outside pole. The two drivers did not disappoint the crowd by putting on a side by side race for most of the event. Bark led the entire race until a dramatic pass by Kosch in the final lap made the 1K a winner for the 3rd time on
dirt this year. The other late change in finishing order occurred in the three
and four positions where Boonstra and Lund continued their battle from the
previous night. In this event it was Lund in the #17 who made the pass on lap 24
by getting under the #55 of Boonstra and holding on for 3rd across the line.

Feature Finish top 5: KOSCH, Bark, Lund, Boonstra, Gonzales

In the final rundown of the "Bakemark Classic" George Bark Jr.
was crowned the winner on the strength of a 1st and 2nd place finsh. Don
Boonstra and Kenny Lund tied for second after both drivers finished in front of
each other each night. Roberto Gonzales was third.

The Snydersville Scene

By Teri Morrison
You will recall that I'm competing against the controlled stock micros there. Friday night's racing was particularly rewarding, since our regular group of racers was greatly enhanced by the return of some very special players: the Sandts (both Bob Sr. and Jr.) and Brian Russell (of the Loose Nut Racing Team). Also racing were Harry Ladlee and Mystie Gargone, as well as our modified micro champion, Walter Morrison. It was a spirited race, in which there was some good-natured bumping and banging (resulting in a DNF for Ladlee due to equipment failure), and a triumph for Russell, who's been off the track for a year. Moreover, it was heart-warming to see the return of Bob Sandt Sr., who hasn't raced with the micros in several years, and his son Bob Jr., who has been racing other venues (micro-sprint at Borger's Speedway, and small block modified at New Egypt). All are gifted drivers, and it was a sincere pleasure to race with such an elite group. Just wanted you to know that things are alive and kicking at Snydersville. Hope to see more competitors come out!-

Winners in the Microstock class were,
Walt Morrison (Modifieds)
Russ Benke ( Jr. Sportsman)
Brian Russell (Sr. Controlled)
Jim Ackerman (Sr. Sportsman

Thank You Teri

Ervin Threepeats at Mountain

7/20/08
Hazelton, PA – Ewing, NJ driver Tom Ervin scored his third feature event win of the season in the Modified Outlaw Micro Stock (M.O.M.) race at Mountain Speedway on Sunday. Starting outside pole in his heat race, Ervin powered the K&K Industries/C&M Automotive Warehouse #99 around pole sitter Dennis Hiddemen to grab the lead at the start and lead every lap. Carrying that momentum into the feature Ervin led wire to wire to win by half a lap in the John Kazmierski-owned car over perennial second place finisher Dennis Hiddemen, who had his hands full fending off the race-long challenges of defending 2007 M.O.M. Champion Brian Braddock. Braddock drove to the outside of Hiddemen at the finish but came up short for third. Bill Kriegner Jr. matched his best run of the season with another fourth place finish, and John Paulsen rounded out the top five for his best run of the season.
Ervin’s win extended his lead to 60 points over Braddock with only two points races remaining on the M.O.M. Schedule. Kriegner and Paulsen tied for the hard charger award of the race with their climb from the back.


Final Finish – Tom Ervin, Dennis Hiddemen, Brian Braddock, Bill Kriegner Jr., John Paulsen, Jim Van Dine, Andy Hiddemen, Nick Cottone, John Kazmierski.


The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will return to Mountain Speedway on August 10th. There is no club fee to participate in M.O.M. events, and all Modified and Controlled Stock racers are welcome to compete. As the most recent feature event winner, Ervin will be starting last in both his heat race and the feature event.

The World Formula Microstock Tour will be rolling in to Hamlin Speedway on Saturday the 12th of July with high temperatures of 83 and evening lows of 63 and not a drop of rain predicted the track should be perfect. With the close competition in the World Formula Microstock Tour this could be anyone's race.

Cottone Wins 71st Birthday Race

By Robin Ervin
7/5/08

Cuddebackville, NY - The man the Modified Outlaw Microstock racers call ˜Uncle Nick" Cottone won Saturday's race at Oakland Valley Race Park in Cuddebackville NY in spectacular fashion. He lapped the field in his black #5 microstock. An emotional Cottone stated, "This is like a dream come true. When I saw we had a race scheduled on my birthday, I had hopes. I thought it would be great if I could do well that day. To win on my 71st birthday, this is great!"

By virtue of strong performances in the two heat races, Cottone started on the pole in the feature and proceeded to put on a driving exhibition. Cottone's years of racing experience led him to put on a different tire setup than everyone else and that proved to be the key to victory. As the rest of the competitors slid and slipped around the track trying to find bite, Cottone's microstock was hooked up. When asked why he was so dominant this time out Cottone modestly replied "I just guessed right on the tire selection. Sometimes you get lucky." Perhaps it was luck or perhaps it was the fact that after nearly fifty years behind the wheel of a race car, its less about luck and more about being able to eyeball a track's surface and knowing what kind of setup would be good for those conditions.

Cottone started racing in Freeport Speedway in 1959. Cottone was a regular at many of the local, now shuttered tracks such as Trenton Speedway, Middletown, Harmony, Islip, Westhampton, East Windsor and Wall Township Speedway (then Wall Stadium), and once raced along side such legendary drivers such as Al Tasnady, Gil Hearne and Buzie Ruetiman.

The M.O.M. hard charger award usually goes to the driver who makes the biggest gain in position, but this race the award goes to "Uncle" Nick Cottone who lapped the field on the way to his first win of the season.

Brian Braddock kept Cottone in sight during the heat races but was unable to match his pace in the feature, finishing a distant second place in the feature. Jim VanDine struggled with an ill handling car to finish third while Tom Ervin rebounded from a heat race crash to finish fourth in the feature. Dirt track specialist Walt Morrison rounded out the top five. Harry Ladlee Sr finished seventh overall but claimed the controlled stock division win as the highest finishing controlled stock entry.

Brian Braddock earned enough points in this race to pass Ervin for the M.O.M. points lead.

Finishing order: Nick Cottone, Brian Braddock, Jim VanDine, Tom Ervin, Walt Morrison, Bill Kriegner Jr, Harry Ladlee Sr.

The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will next compete at Mountain Speedway on July 20. There is no club fee to participate in M.O.M. events, and all Modified and Controlled Stock Micro Stock drivers are welcome to compete.

Poughkeepsie, NY: The World Formula Modified Tour rolled into Poughkeepsie Speedway Saturday night showing their versatility by switching from dirt to pavement with its largest turnout of cars to date. The 60 of Mike Andrews from Tinton Falls, NJ came from the second starting position to garner his first World Formula Modified Tour victory in the 30 lap feature. Reigning points leader, Jim Scherer led the 10 car field to the green and took the early lead followed by Andrews, but pulled off on lap 15 with a flat rear tire. From there Andrews led the remaining 15 laps with Don Boonstra’s 55 in tow. A torrid 3 car battle for second took place between Boonstra, the returning Arnold Reilly and Kenny Lund for most of the race, with Reilly and Lund getting by Boonstra on lap 24 to finish second and third. Carl Weinacker was able to get by Boonstra for forth after the handle went away from a wheel moving in on the axle.


Notables: Making their first starts of the season were Arnold Reilly in the 44 Tasnady replica coupe, tour regular Adam Kievit in the 46, AMSRA alumni, Bernie Barker in Gary Sheffan's 12A and Kevin Pross in Jeff Miller's 8W. The NESMRA microstocks ran their event combined with the World Formula Modified Tour with Rick Mollo taking the win. Doug Coy's #10 failed to start the feature.


The WFMT will be at Hamlin Speedway this coming Saturday, July 12th.


Heat Finish:Scherer, Andrews, Boonstra, Reilly


Feature (30 Laps): Mike Andrews, Arnold Reilly, Kenny Lund, Carl Weinacker, Don Boonstra, Bernie Barker, Jeff Weinacker


DNF Jim Scherer, Adam Kievit DNS Kevin Pross

Thanks to Kenny Lund for the WFMT press release


In a side note, Doug Coy and Rich Mollow of NEMSRA were in attendance bringing the Microstock count to 12 cars. Unfortunately a sheared flywheel key sidelined the 10 car. However the 23 of Rich Mollow proved to be a tough customer taking the heat win by a few feet. Rich started on pole for the feature followed closely by Jim Scherer. Rich went on to win but not by a landslide proving the NEMSRA cars with the Tecumseh Star motor are pretty competitive with the Controlled Stock and World Formula packages.

Weekend Race Schedules and Weather

Friday July 4th Snydersville once again opens its doors for more great racing action. With Fridays high temperatures predicted at 76 and the low of 58, Although thunder storms and light showers may be in the area the chances of a sprinkling is set at 50%.It seems like the perfect evening to go racing even if you got to duck in to the trailer to wait out a quick storm.

Saturday the 5th of July has 2 races on tap. M.O.M. will be running the 1/5th mile oval at OVRP and The World Formula Microstock Tour is rolling in to the fast asphalt 1/5th mile track at Poughkeepsie. Both gates open at 2 PM. OVRP's weather forecast calls for a high tempreture of 72 and a low of 63 and a 60% chance of thunderstorms. While Poughkeepsie's forecast calls for a high tempreture of 76 and low of 58 also with a 50% chance of thunderstorms.

With high car counts expected everywhere, come on out and hit two tracks if you can. Just bring that pop tent and some extra weights to hold it down.

NEMSRA Action

It was Doug Coy and Rich Mollow to kick off the NEMSRA season with Rich drawing the pole for the heat race. Doug took the lead on the start with Mollow on his back bumper waiting for the 10 to make a mistake. It only took 4 laps until Mollow was able to get by coming off of turn 4 as the 10 got real loose and had to chase the car up the track.

In the feature Mollow again started on the Pole but the 10 took the lead on the start with the 23 on his back bumper. The 10 held the lead for 6 laps until he again got out of shape coming off of turn 4 and Rich was able to get by. He then was able to pull away as the 10 continued to battle a very loose handling car.

The NEMSRA guys will be back in action on July 5th when they welcome the World Formula Microstock Tour of the New Jersey invaders. Will any Pennsylvania drivers show to give them all a run for the money?

M.O.M. at OVRP July 5th

The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will be making their first appearance of the season on dirt at Oakland Valley Raceway in Cuddebackville, NY this Saturday July 5th. Last year M.O.M.'s only race at Oakland Valley Raceway was won by Brian Braddock, with heat race wins going to Tom Ervin and Jim Van Dine. This season the race is up for grabs. As the most recent M.O.M. race winner Ervin will be starting at the rear, while Braddock will be looking to claim his second win of the season. Dennis and Andy Hiddemen and Nick Cottone have been very strong this season on asphalt, and Hiddemen is looking to break his streak of finishing second every race this year by bringing home the trophy. Bill Kriegner Jr. learned to race on dirt with a quarter midget and is looking forward to a chance to take his #16 off of the asphalt. Who will win? Come on out and see!


As M.O.M. has done all season, they are welcoming all Modified and Controlled Stock drivers to participate. You do not have to be a M.O.M. member to compete, and there is no membership fee to run with M.O.M.

K&K on Display

June 21st the K&K Race Team hauled the #90 and #99 Modified Micro Stocks to New Egypt Speedway as part of the C&M Automotive Warehouse Night At The Races. C&M held a picnic just outside Victory Lane where K&K Team Drivers Tom Ervin and Bill Kriegner Jr. spent most of the evening meeting with interested race fans.

Victory Lane at New Egypt Speedway is at the north end of the grand stands, so the cars were accessable to the race fans in attendance. The C&M Picnic had 100 registered guests, and the crowd around the cars included fans from the stands and drivers from the pits. We even had visits from three former Micro Stock racers.


Since the #99 was all cleaned up and sporting a show body, Tom hauled it the next day to the Mid Jersey Antique Automobile Club car show in Hamilton, NJ in the back of his 1964 Ranchero. Both cars drew a lot of attention at the show, and Tom handed out Micro Stock literature to interested parties. Rain interrupted the show twice, but it helped to wash away the little remaining New Egypt dust that Tom had missed.


The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will return to action on Saturday, July 5th on The Dirt Oval at Oakland Valley Raceway in Cuddebackville, N.Y. Come out and see the fireworks!

Poughkeepsie 6 21 08

6 21 08 Poughkeepsie Speedway

The Track went from extremely fast to a bit slick and we had one heck of a time getting a hold of it. However, the 12a and 94 made huge strides in their setups as well as confidence. Both cars and drivers will prove to be tough competitors next time out.

3 practice sessions, multiple minor problems and a slick track kept the drivers wrenching on the cars all afternoon. Everyone was ready for the heat race where all 3 cars crossed the finish line within 10 foot of each other.

The Feature saw the 12a on pole followed by the 24x and the 94. At the drop of the green flag the group again was so close it was anyone's race. Then the 12a lost a chain giving the lead to the 24x who swapped the lead with the 94 putting crossover moves on each other for the next few laps. Then the 24x did a little lawn mowing and the 94 got away by 20 foot. The 24x was able to close the gap some but ran out of time giving the win to the 94.

The Weekend Ahead

Good morning racers and race fans! On tap this weekend is some more great racing from a variety or top quality racing venues. (In my head I can hear the announcers Jackie Stewart and Jack Arute... can you hear them too?)

Friday night the venue is Snydersville Speedway, This great little bull ring's weather forecast is calling for a low tempreture of 54 degrees with a 20% chance of brief showers with the threat of rain ending around 5 PM. Leaving nothing to worry about other than the set up in the car and threats of the "Mine Hill Gang" rolling in to town. I wonder if those threats will ever become reality.

On Saturday we have a total of 3 tracks open for business. OVRP will be open and a few cars may be there testing. Poughkeepsie Speedway will also be open for their Night Series where the gates open at 2 PM and racing begins at 4 PM and there is Shellhammers, A fast dirt track that's due to see the World Formula Microstock Tour hit with a vengeance. With the WFMT expecting to see around 10 cars lets hope the moth-balled cars and those racing only at their local track will venture out and give it a try.

Saturdays weather is looking good with high temperatures in the high 70's to low 80 and the only threat of rain may be a passing thunderstorm late in the day or early evening. Bring the sun screen, pop up tents and a few weights just in case the Thunderstorms whip up some wind to hold the tents down.

Scherer Wins Back To Back

Poughkeepsie, NY: The World Formula Modified Tour, backed by Briggs & Stratton Motor sports, had another large field on hand for the tour’s 2nd race of the season. The event was held at the super fast Poughkeepsie Speedway. The 30 lap feature started hotly contested with the #17 of pole sitter Kenny Lund and 2nd place starter #94 Carl Weinnacker, with Weinnacker getting jump only be re-passed by Lund on the back straight. Lund held the lead for the first two circuits as a unbelievable battle was on hand between the 12A of Gary Scheffen, 8w of Jeff Miller and the racy 24X of Jeff Weinnacker. This is when the 4TJ of Jim Scherer went to work; starting from the 7th spot caught the trio and started picking them off one by one assuming the 2nd spot by the end of lap 4. Following


Scherer though the congestion was the heat winner, asphalt standout Mike Andrews in the #60over who had to start dead last after a complete invert of the heat finishing order.


Scherer now set his sights on leader Lund and pulled aside him on lap 5. The two ran side by side for almost two laps with Andrews now in tow. The faster Scherer stole the lead on lap 7 and Andrews followed in his wake, for a brief moment it looked like a fierce battle was going to evolve but Scherer showed his muscle and started to pull away. The extra race distance showed to be difficult as it took its toll when rookie racer Roberto Sanchez followed by Scheffen as well Miller pulled off due to mechanical difficulties. This now left Scherer a clear track to improve his lead over Andrews where by the completion of the event he was a full straight ahead claiming his 2nd victory.


The final finishing order was: Jim Scherer, Mike Andrews, Kenny Lund, Carl Weinnacker, Jeff Weinnacker, Jeff Miller, Gary Scheffen, and Roberto Sanchez


The next scheduled World Formula Modified Tour race is on June 21st at Shellhammers Speedway.

Thanks To Kenny Lund for the press release.

Micro Stocks at New Egypt Speedway

New Egypt, NJ - Saturday, June 21st the John Kazmierski #90 and Tom Ervin #99 Modified Micro Stocks will be on display at New Egypt Speedway as part of the C&M Automotive Warehouse Night at the Races. The K&K Industries Micro Stock Race Team competes with sponsorship from C&M Automotive Warehouse, and has already represented C&M Automotive Warehouse in victory lane twice so far this season. K&K Race Team drivers Tom Ervin and Bill Kriegner Jr. will be on hand to meet with race fans as the cars are displayed outside of Victory Lane this Saturday night at New Egypt Speedway.
Thanks to Tom Ervin

It makes you wonder (if the track were a bit smoother) what Microstocks could do on the big dirt track of NES.
I sure hope there will be a few pictures of the cars on display available for me to post.

Snydersville 6-6/13-08

I just got the Snydersville results from the last two weekends. The usual cast of characters is still there winning while the "Mine Hill Gang" continues to make threats about challenging while rumors of a few stragglers drifting in sometime soon continue to circulate.

6/13/08 Snydersville results
Russell Benke topped the Microstock Jr. Sportsman, Harry Ladlee Sr. got the win in the Sr. Micostock Controlled and Brian Correll took the Sr. Sportsman win.

6/6/08 Snydersville results
Microstock Division wins went to Aaron Yarosh, Lea Anna Tonkin, Brian Correll and Drew Yarosh and Alexis Bridges.

Weekend Racin'

Once again Snydersville is set to go with perfect weather dropping to a low of 58 tonight and clear skies. If you can't make that one OVRP will be open for their 6th points race of the year. highs around 81 and a 40% chance of thunderstorms means to me that the track may get watered one extra time during the day. Poughkeepsie is not running this weekend and no other big tracks are hosting microstocks that I am aware of. So there it is, 2 places to race both dirt.

Waiting on results

while nothing has been posted and no information seems to be out there anyplace I came across something interesting.

An Asphalt track re-opening!
Check it out.

Bethel, New York- After more than a year of lying dormant a Speedway breathes again. The speedway located in Historic Bethel NY that has operated since 1959 has new owners. They are passionate racers and race fans who are dedicated to fostering an environment that will allow long-term success for the Speedway. In fact, their family's race team actually raced the first race at the speedway 49 years ago.

FGR, Inc. has negotiated an agreement with Dave & Joanne Rocket to revive the closed facility. A spokesperson from FGR, Inc. stated that, “Given their past success at race track promoting, the choice for us to have the Rockets control operations here was easy. They are the most proven promoters of this historic track operating it for seven years with a very successful program.”

An anticipated opening date in July is projected. For more information, a meeting is being held at the Hilton Garden Inn, 15 Crossroads Court & Route 17K, (Next to Orange County Choppers World Headquarters) in Newburgh, NY on Sunday, June 15, 2007, at 7:30 pm.

The Weekend Ahead

Friday snuck up on me this time!
Ok.. Where to race this weekend?
Friday Snydersville will once a gain be open with the usual cast of characters buzzing around the well groomed bull pen. As usual racing starts around 6 pm, so run back home and hook up that trailer on lunch time! Weather looks good and the tempreture will be mild with a low of 65 and no rain in sight. Perfect for racing!
Saturday you have two choices OVRP where it may be a bit crowded as they have a national sling shot event going on and Poughkeepsie who is running their first night race of the season.
Poughkeepsie's night series schedule has them opening the gates at 2 PM and the track will open for first practice at 4 PM. I would expect the usual well run program on a fast, fast 1/5th mile paved oval. Both OVRP and Poughkeepsie are predicted to see high temperatures in the low 90's during the day. Bring your tents and lots of fluids, keep hydrated and don't forget the sun screen!

Good luck everyone! Please, if you can, send me your race report and pictures.

Snydersville Results

Snydersville once again saw great racing action in the Microstock divisions. A.J. Tonkin won the Jr. Sportsman event,

Aaron Yarosh won the Modified main,


Jim Ackerman won the Sr. Sportsman event.


Mysti Gargone won the Sr. Microstock Controlled feature.



You have to wonder when the famed "Mine Hill Gang" will roll in to town and try to shake things up. I have heard rumors that just such an event may happen sometime during the month of June. Can the locals fend off the assault or will Mine Hill reign supreme?

Livingston High School

Livingston Highschool was host to 3 Microstocks on the morning of may 29th. The highschool's auto shop, Who had rebuilt 3.5 HP Briggs flat heads as part of their first semester got a first hand look at a fun use for an old flat head motor. Setting up directly in front of the Highschool's foot ball field we had plenty of exposure. Some of the kids giggled a little bit at the punitive stature of the cars but they were quickly quieted when the cars were started and buzzed around the freshly paved oval normally used by the track team.

On hand for the event were Noel Scheffen (Pit Crew until a car comes along at the right price) Gary Scheffen (driver of the 12a), Carl Weinacker (Driver of the 94) and Jeff Weinacker (Driver of the 24x)

We presented the cars and went over the modifications made to a Controlled Stock motor as well as a Modified (M.O.M. rules) motor and the overhead valve type motors. The cost of the cars, Turn Key from a few manufacturers to used or building one themselves. But most importantly we covered safety as well, from New Jersey's "Full Bodied Stock Car" rules to the local track rules. We even discussed the Jr. Sportsman to the more experienced (and extremely fast) Uncle Nick before giving the track team a run for the money!

On a side note, Coming from a highschool that methodically closed Auto Shop, Small engines, Drafting, Graphic Arts, Wood Shop and Metal shop, It was really refreshing to see a highschool that still has this as part of their curriculum. As a Supervisor for a shop, I can not express the importance enough about teaching even just the basic skills to the youth of today. Everyone knows computer basics, but not being able to change your own oil or simply use a drill in this day and age is a crime committed on many graduates by the school systems. I am extremely impressed that an auto shop and wood shop among other skills orientated classes are offered and thriving at Livingston highschool. The Superintendent of the school should be commended and the education board needs to know that although they are not growing a class of auto mechanics, the basic skills taught are indispensable and they are on the right track for a well rounded education. Thank you Livingston, all hope for education in America is not lost.

Fast Friday

With MOM on a temporary hiatus and no Microstocks planning on attending Poughkeepsie's 50% payback night on Saturday or running OVRP and the World Formula tour out of action till the 21st. Snydersville is the lone Micro hangout. After a couple weeks of poor weather they were blessed with near perfect weather last week and now it looks even better with predicted lows around 58, Sundown at 8:25 PM and no chance of showers till Midnight, what could be better than a great Friday night of racing on a perfectly groomed short track? I'll tell you what would be better, Someone returning Mysti's starter at the track on this prefect night of racing.

As always, let me know your plans, If you get any pictures please shoot em over to me and I'll post them.

WF Poughkeepsie results

Attrition was the game

Poughkeepsie Speedway New York
The World Formula tour rolled in to town for their second tour date of the year. The weather was perfect and the track was just as good. All competitors worked on dialing in their cars through 2 practice sessions. Then heat races were run putting Jim Scherer on pole but a "Full Invert" card was dealt reversing the entire field. The Starting lineup was 19, 17,12, 94, 24, 8w,60, 4tj.
Drop of the green flag saw some really close racing with all the fast cars in the rear. Nearly every car got a few doughnuts in the first two laps. Then attrition set in claiming the 19, 12, 8w and 24x, Both the 8w and 24x were running well and in the hunt to keep Jim Scherer for Winning again but not even Mike Andrews in the 60 over could catch him on this given Sunday.

M.O.M report

By Robin Ervin



Photo provided By Kevin Green Photagraphy

May 25th was the third race of the season for the Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks (M.O.M.) at Mountain Speedway in Hazleton PA.


On the start, Tom Ervin in the #99 K&K Express charged from 7th to 2nd on the first lap to challenge pole sitter Denny Hiddemen. Jim VanDine raced his #12 from 6th to 4th position on the same lap. On Lap 2 the Van Dine moved to 3rd place and the #99 made an unsuccessful outside bid to take the lead from Hiddemen. Last week's feature winner Brian Braddock also moved into 4th from his 8th place starting position.


On lap 3, the Ervin dove to the inside of Hiddemen to take the lead. For the remaineder of the race the Ervin and Hiddemen fought an exciting race-long battle for the top spot. The #6 of Hiddemen looked high and low trying to reclaim the lead from Ervin while both leaders pulled away from the field.


Teammates VanDine and Braddock fought a similarly spirited battle for 3rd place for much of the race followed closely by John Kasmierski in the #90.


On lap 12, Bill Kriegner Jr. grabbed 5th place from Kazmierski. On lap 14, Braddock faded in the #82, allowing Kriegner Jr. to take 4th place, a career best for Kriegner Jr. John Poulson moved up a position also to round out the top 5. Ervin’s margin of victory over Hiddemen was just .344 seconds.


The Hard Charger of the race was Ervin, who celebrated the re-signing of team sponsor C&M Automotive Warehouse by coming from 7th to 1st. Jean Hiddemen was the highest finishing controlled stock entry of the race, finishing 6th overall. The fastest lap of the race was set by Denny Hiddemen.


The race started with a three way tie for the points lead between Ervin, Denny Hiddemen and Braddock. After the race, Ervin now has a 10 point lead over Hiddenmen and Braddock dropped to third in points 60 points behind the points leader.
Currently there is a three way tie for the 4th position in points between VanDine, Kriegner Jr. and Nick Cottone.


Finishing order; Ervin, D. Hiddemen, Van Dine, Kriegner Jr., Poulson, J. Hiddemen, Braddock, Kazmeirski and A. Hiddemen.


The next race for M.O.M. will be at Oakland Valley Raceway's dirt oval on Sat July 5th. The Modified Outlaw Micro Stocks will return to Mountain Speedway on Sunday July 20.

Memorial Day Weekend 2008

A beautiful weekend is on tap with predicted temperatures ranging from Fridays high of 71 to Sundays high of 77 along with low temperatures in the 50's and partly cloudy skies, we have racing EVERYWHERE in near perfect conditions.
This weekend, there is no excuse for not racing.
Dust off the cars!
Get em ready!
This is not the time to sit at home and watch NASCAR or even mow the lawn!
Its time to go Racin'.

On Friday night Snydersville will be running all classes with the last test and tune day prior to the Briggs Stock Light 2 track series between them and Hamiln on the 30th and 31st. This is sure to produce some great racing action outside of the Microstock world while continuing the great racing that's happened every Friday night for all Microstock divisions.

On Saturday, OVRP will again be running but I have no information if any Microstocks will be there. Will the 53X again be alone or is he setting up for asphalt to go racing on Sunday?

Sunday will be big with 2 planned asphalt races. MOM will again be putting on a show at Mountain Speedway in the Pocono's. These Modifieds are turning 17 second lap times on a 1/3 mile track. That's just over 70 MPH! Once again they are inviting any Controlled Stock cars to come and join them.
However, considering the World Formula Tour is running Poughkeepsie the same day, more C/S powered cars may head that way to give the World Formula motor a run for the money. With 10-15 cars, or more, planning on making the trip, this will once again prove to be a great day of racing with one of the biggest fields of Microstocks in years. Come on out and be a part of it!
