RACE REPORT ACSSA EVENT 4, SEPTEMBER 21ST 2019 ---- GREENFIELD DRAGWAY

It was a fine forecast for racing, no better way to have it headed into the ACSSA’s second Double Header weekend of the year, held at Greenfield Dragway in Queens County NS. 18 competitors were attendance for Saturday’s event, including one new entry driven by long time member Gary Keans. Gary debuted his stunning 1967 Camaro, competing in Stock GT/D with a 305 for the remainder of the season. For next season he plans to compete in E/SA with a 295hp 350 combo, which will be one to keep your eyes on. Welcome back to racing Gary!
As we started into qualifying we had sunny skies and a light tailwind, temperature was recorded 73 degrees, 63% humidity, barometer of 29.78, and a density altitude of 1840 feet. After 2 qualifying sessions it was Jeremy Keans and his H/SA 305 powered 1983 Camaro rocket sitting on top at 1.16 under index, a full 2 tenths than number 2 qualifier Trevor Ervin’s wheel standing A/SA 1970 Nova.
First round saw 17 cars make the field as Kelly MacKay’s FS/D Challenger grenaded the transmission in qualifying. As we worked our way through the rounds, we found a semi-final round of 3, the bye going to Don Lavoie’s C/SA vette, while Mike Ingram and his G/SA Chevelle battled Jeremy Keans and his H/SA Camaro. Ingram advances to the final against Lavoie after a tight round with Keans. In the final, Ingram used a big reaction time advantage to take the win over Lavoie. Congrats to Mike Ingram on winning event 4!
