Re: Live from lebanon valley race #2 make up
I wasn't there, but I understand there are 8 cars left, will finish tomorrow. I guess the other classes had a few issues.
60 cars entered and 5 or 6 new members joined. Overall it was a good day, just not long enough. George |

Re: Live from lebanon valley race #2 make up
Left lane was terrible. I spun with no traction what so ever. I stopped and looked at it after my run. Just one big bald spot. Denny Boyle , who is at lebanon all the time was at the starting line watching and said almost every car in that lane spun and lost. Not a good way to race. Gary

Re: Live from lebanon valley race #2 make up
Both Denny & I approached the starting line to see how "bad" it really was?
JUNK Started the day with 60 cars, the 8 remaining are: The "KVG" (Kenny Van Gorp) vs Al "Rack-em-Up" Mark "Fast Eddie" Bednaz vs Dj "I'm one of those Bratz" Pires Dave "The Tornado" Casey vs "Tj" "another one of those Bratz" Boucher & Bob "No girlymatics" Broadbent vs John "Mr. Clean" Gray Best wheel-stand, Joe "BIG-AIR" Mendillo! Shout-out to the ECS/SS guys that came out & raced with the ASRA today, And to all the racers that helped to "change gears" (between rounds) in Bob Lunholm's "Hot-Wheels" duce! Good racers + Great Friends = Classracers Happy Fathers Day Last edited by Greg Barsamian; 06-19-2011 at 06:43 AM. |

Re: Live from lebanon valley race #2 make up
The traction was what we would expect when it is 90 degrees and sunny beating on the starting line. We don't know how a certain big block automatic stocker can leave on the bumper in either lane thru the day and others have trouble.
Cooler today great racing coming up Dave Casey Marc LaBrecque Mark Markow

Re: Live from lebanon valley race #2 make up
well i guess if the traction was the worst thing that happened ,at least none of us crashed in to the tree,that gives a new meaning to phrase "hitting the tree"
