"Live" from Great Lakes Stock -S/S Mid Michigan

Mike Delahanty · 07-22-2017, 08:51 PM

It's been busy today with the racing. 43 cars here today. We are down to the semis. It was Kyle Jeltema over Ben Wenzel - Dan Wolcott over Mike Warren in his V/SA 69 Camaro - and Steve Novosel in his COPO over Dan Steed in his SS 67 Nova. I'll be back with photos later. Stay tuned for results from the next 2 rounds.

It's Dan Wolcott in his 62 Plymouth vs Jeltema in his 71 Mustang E/S stick car.

Mike,

It looks like your hard work to get this series going has paid off. Getting good turnouts this year. Hope to see you at one of the races before the end of the year.

Sunday was another good turn out with 39 cars making the show despite the rain that blanketed most of Michigan early this morning. Time trials got started just about on time as the sun broke through and it turned into a beautiful 80° summer day at Mid Michigan Motorplex.

Ben and Dave Wenzel were the winners of Sundays combo raise over Charlie Downing in his Cobra Jet. Ben is always tough at mid Michigan and has won both NHRA and IHRA races there. In the quarterfinals Charlie Downing ran dead on to take out John Nechiporchik; Ben Wenzel beat this year's gator nationals champ Terry Nagel; and Brad Zaskowski had the Bye. Ben then bested Brad to set up the final round.

Sunday runner up Charlie Downing.

Round 4 Downing versus Nechiporchik

The Zaskowski cousins in Round 4.

Wendell and Nagel round 4.
