Results from Kil Kare

[Ross Family Racing]

Results from the August 22nd race at Kil Kare Gathering of the Geezers.

There were 52 entries that came to the annual event to compete with the Buckeye Stock/Super Stock Drag Racing Series.

The Mid Ohio Paving Dial for Dollars was won by Brad Ross driving his SS/GT '68 Barracuda. Brad was dialed 10.25 and ran a10.2503 to claim the $100. He was also the recipient of the Best First Round Losing Package presented by Parsons & Myers Racing Engines of Dayton. He had a .042 reaction and ran 10.258 on his 10.25 for the losing effort. Another $100 was paid to Brad.

Eliminations proceeded with many great racers making the call. About 2/3 way through the first round rain came and put it to a stop. Track officials made it clear that we had plenty of time to dry the track and get the race in. After about a 2 1/2 hour wait we were back at it.

Picking up the action in the semi finals there were three Mopars and one Chevrolet. Craig Dawson's Dodge Aspen N/SA was matched with Al Ross' FGT/L '73 Challenger. Ross was -.003 red allowing Dawson to take the win. The other match was Ed McCormack's "Bossa Nova" H/SA against the FGT/N '09 Challenger of Jeff Ross. Again a redlight decided the outcome with McCormack pulling the trigger -.011 early.

The final round was the Dawson Dodge Aspen and the "Dodge Fever" of Jeff Ross. Dawson was dialed 12.62 and Ross 10.51. Dawson left first with a .0255 light as Ross waited over two seconds and redlighted with a -.0132 leave. Both drivers ran it out as Dawson ran 12.632 to the Challengers 10.5091.

Special "Hats Off " to the crew and management at Kil Kare Dragway for providing a awesome race track to race on as well as the determination to complete this race. Thank You.
