Volume 5

Snydersville Speedway got their Friday night season opener in under threatening skies. The weather held till 11pm when the skies opened up cutting the night short. Microstocks however saw Russell Benke take Jr Sportsman, Walt Morrison bring home the Modified win, Harry Ladlee Sr. won the Sr. Microstock Controlled and newcomer Samantha Rundle won the Microstock Sr. Sportsman.

Poughkeepsie Speedway saw 4 Microstocks in attendance. Bernie Barker came out with the 74 to shake the acorns out of the chassis, the 12a, 24x and 94 Team were there as well. The Day started with a rain shower wetting the track to the point where it needed the jet dryer (Or a pick up truck dragging 3 tractor tires). Following the track drying operations the 4 Microstocks and 7 Mini Cup cars hit the track together to help dry the track and test it out. Once dry enough all of us together were let loose or tight depending on what wet spot we hit. Once dry enough Practice and heats were underway. The Microstock feature starting lineup was Gary Scheffen on pole with Carl Weinacker on outside pole Bernie Barker in 3rd and Jeff Weinacker in 4th. Unfortunately Carl's car was down one cylinder and was unable to start. On a high note Gary was able to keep all 4 wheels on the ground. Final results were 24X first, 12a Second 94 DNS and the 74 first in sportsman class.


Upcoming events
Snydersville will be running this Friday night and with clear skies and high temperatures about 73 degrees and lows of 53 it should prove to be the perfect night for racing. So come on out and give the track regulars and the newcomer a run for their money!

MOM will be running at Mountain this Saturday the 19th in front of a big crowd. Rumor has it that the 76 C/S may show and try to keep pace with the modifieds. Is anyone else brave enough to tame the big 1/3 mile track with MOM?

Poughkeepsie will be open on both Saturday and Sunday for practice

OVRP will have opening day on Saturday the 19th with gates open at noon with a sunny day currently in the forecast.

As always I need to know your plans to keep everyone informed promoting better Microstock racing. Please send me an E-Mail with your plans so they can be posted. Again, Why race by yourself when you can race against more cars?
