Monadnock Speedway Rt 10 Winchester, NH.......... Racing Saturday nights 6pm!
Race Notes 8-19
Race Notes 8-19
So sorry that this weeks update in race notes is late, but we've been at work
in the garage trying to find out just what we are missing (other than someone
that can drive the car....LOL)
We had 4 new tires on this week, and tried to make the most of it, but just
came up a few tenths short of where we need to be. Phil Meany took the lead
from us right at the start, and never gave it up through the whole race, an
awesome job by another team from the "Low Rent District"! While Phil sat out
in the lead I tried to catch him, but Brandon Ovitt and Jeff Zuidema closed in on
us. I tried to protect the bottom at that point, but with our crate setup the car
isnt so happy when it gets bogged down. Brandon and I had a good side by
side battle, with me hanging on the outside, but after a few laps the better car
and line prevailed. Jeff Z took advantage and followed Brandon through,
relegating us to fourth. Barry Gray was having an off night, and tried to
challenge us for the spot, But either his car was off a bit or he wasnt
comfortable racing next to us after we tangled last week...
So the end results were Phil first, Brandon second, Jeff third, myself foutrh and
Barry Fifith.
This all helped to add to the Points race, and if you are a race fan you can
appreciate the Battles in points going on now. The top three have risen to the
top, With only 12 points from first to third, (Barry, Jeff, Phil) and three weeks
left its wide open for the championship. Fourth to Sixth, way back from the top
three, we have Fran Colson, myself and Brandon Ovitt only six points apart..
Frans had a few off weeks, We have been pretty consistant, (but Ive put our
team in a few bad spots on the track!) And Brandon Ovitt has been one of the
quickest cars at Monadnock once he got his tires straighted out! As much as I
would to get the top 5 point finish, we know it will be a struggle to stay close to
Brandon and Fran.
Its going to be a fun last few weeks, and this week we will back on some older
tires, A new Jeff Beckwith idea for getting the car up to speed, Haha now that I
think of it, if we dont go good I have someone to blame for a change!
Stay tuned, If your a race fan Monadnock Speedway is the place to be.. Chase
for the Cup is pretty lame compared to what we got going on at the local short
track if you ask me!
Oh if we havent yet convinced you, The late Model points are now tied for first
and second by John Lavoie and Adam Gray...
Point battles are so fun! see you next week! Rob
