i have to ask and this not to bash the track ,this only for information only so i can better prepair my car for slick conditions,how many of you spun the tires running 9" radial tire's ,the first and second time trials where good for me but the first round was a pedal fest,,,i have talked to a few racer's who spun ,for those who i didnt please chime in also this is for ss guys as well ,we all realize its not a perfect world but i have to know gmonde

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.

Garrett - I definitely turned a bit on the first TT and I felt it again in 2nd rd. (Both in left lane).

Gary Parker · 06-19-2011, 05:10 AM

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

Greg Barsamian · 06-19-2011, 06:30 AM

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

hopfully the lebanon valley crew can put together a good starting line for you guys today good luck to you guys, it looks like its going nice day a little cooler than yesterday gmonde

Dave Casey · 06-19-2011, 08:29 AM

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

Had the same problem both TT were normal 60 ft times given weather, sunshine, etc.. 1st rd in the right lane ...UP IN SMOKE !! Thats the breaks I guess !!

gmonde · 06-19-2011, 09:30 AM

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"

Garrett, I spun the tires on the second time trial, first and second round.

Thanks again to all that make these races happen!
