RACE REPORT ACSSA EVENT 5, SEPTEMBER 22 2019 – GREENFIELD DRAGWAY
Event 5 of the ACSSA’s 2019 series was the second event of the Greenfield Dragway double header, and it was again a great day for racing. Again we had 18 entries, as Greg Nickerson joined Sunday’s field running their D/PS 1995 Firebird. We had mostly sunny skies again, but we lost our tail wind and gained a head wind. However, the weather observed during qualifying was temperature of 70 degrees, 54% humidity, barometer of 29.89 and a density altitude of 1400, all slightly better than Saturday’s event. Once again Jeremy Keans and his H/SA 1983 Camaro sat atop the field with a -1.138 run of 11.01. Trevor Ervin again in the number 2 spot at -.962 under (10.03) in his A/SA 70 Nova.
First round saw Jeremy Keans and Mike Ingram face off, Keans trying to gather the Bounty on Saturday’s winner, and secure a top spot in the season championship. It wouldn’t happen, as Keans red lit handing the win and a chance to catch up on points to Ingram. Fast forward a couple rounds and again in the semi’s, we see Ingram, Lavoie and Alan Harper. Lavoie’s position on the ladder was again “Just Friggen Perfect” giving him the bye into the final, while Ingram and Harper squared off, Harper goes -.015 red to Ingrams .018 handing him a trip to final against Lavoie. Deja view! As if we just re-wound the tape to Saturday, reactions were virtually the same as the day before, with the advantage again going to Ingram, the big Chevelle held the lead all the way to stripe allowing Mike Ingram to double up! Also to note, Mike was double dipping into the Pro Bracket class, as he was leading the points, and let’s just say when you’re hot your hot, as he also took the win in that event, and won the Greenfield Dragway Pro Bracket Championship. 3 for 3 and a Championship for the weekend, BIG CONGRATS TO MIKE INGRAM for pulling that feat off. Now going into ACSSA Race 6 this Saturday at Miramichi Dragway, we Jeremy Keans hanging onto the top spot, with Ingram only 32 points behind! It’s going to come down to the wire and will be one to watch. Keans looking for 3 in a row, Mike looking for his 1st ACSSA Championship.
