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!
