Default Lang, Donhauser win emotional “Pig Roast” at Cecil County

The Mid Atlantic .90 Association invaded Cecil County Dragway in Northeast, Md for the 23rd annual “Uncle Buck” Pig Roast & .90 Race. Local racer George Donhauser & Mike Lang came in on a mission and both left with a special commemorative trophy designed for this event by S&W Race Cars. Donhauser who is from nearby Bel Air, Md calls Cecil County Dragway his home track and added a win at the event that is named after his old Crew Chief Ronnie “Uncle Buck” Harple who passed away in 2012. Lang, on the other hand claimed his first Super Gas win and along with his son Sean dedicated it to his wife, Barb who also passed away suddenly in April of this year.

Temperatures in the mid 90’s greeted racers for Race #3 of the season and it would be a battle of endurance to see who would be holding the trophy at days end. Surrounded by friends and family, Donhauser marched his way through a tough field of Super Gas cars to claim his first victory in a few years. In round 1 his took down Lang who went red, current points leader Don Miller in the 2nd, Marc Marcuso in the 3rd and Mike Lauria in the semis. Awaiting Donhauser was George Smith and his “Livewire” 67 Camaro. In that final, Smith took the jump at the green (.008 to .018) but, pushed his Chevy a little too hard and broke out 9.845 to Donhauser’s winning 9.854. Other winners joining George on Saturday were Danny “Mr. Happy” Bisbano in Super Comp and Kelli Barbato in Super Street.

Once the dust had settled from Race # 3, a special event was held for selected competitors put on by Autometer, ATI Performance, Lantier Constuction & Ed Quay Race Cars. The Top 8 Shootout enabled twenty-four drivers who earned qualifying points through the 2015-16 seasons to battle it out for cash and prizes. In the end three new drivers added their names to the trophy and received an automatic birth to the 2017 event. Winners included Randy Winfelder Jr. (SC), George Stack (SG) & Martie Ganjoin (SST).

On Sunday, following a great pig roast on Saturday Night the drivers turned their attention to claiming victory. As previously mentioned, Mike Lang and his 1968 Camaro took the win in Super Gas. This was Mike’s first victory and he did so by taking down Jake Barbato, Earl Nichols Jr, a competition single in the 3rd and Hank Smith in the semi’s. In the finals Lang matched up with recent Top 8 winner George Stack and his 99 Monte Carlo. At the hit Lang took the advantage (.004 to .039) and never looked back with a 9.944 to 9.948 decision for Lang. Joining Lang in the winner’s circle were Frank Genovisi in Super Comp & Martie Ganjoin in Super Street who prevented Kelli Barbato the double-up.
