Hard Luck award at Ennis....

[MR DERBY CITY]

We have a TIE.....Both Vassar cars in stock Eliminator had a heads up first round ,....The corn dog QUEEN, Lisa Stephenson had a bye in the second rd. of superstock but....the Sunfire would not start ...OUCH !!!!

Yes,Hopefully our bad luck demons will move on down the road. I had a heads up first and second round in San Antonio. We totally understand this is a part of stock eliminator racing. Although we will keep working to improve the performance of both of our cars,im not sure we could ever have enough to run with these two Cuda,s They are impressive for sure. My plan was to keep it green and maybe the motor would fall out of Larry's car,no such luck. I only got to meet Mr Hill this weekend but we are good friends with Jacob.

Of course the real hard luck award go's to Tim Snively. We were watching from the fence,scared the crap outta me. Was sure glad to see him pop out of the car.

One of the hard luck awards for September should go to Div. 1 s Tim Barrett. Made the tow west to St. Louis double, only to get a heads up in the first round in both races.

Oh yeah..he was way out on his opponent. I watched it 2-3 times on Sunoco vision I did not see a nose dive,there was no tire smoke, but the car took a hard left and tagged the wall. He won the round,wrecked his car ...and just to add a little insult to injury..they ruled it excessive braking and DQ,d him.

I am fine but the car is banged up. I was way out in front of my opponent and lifted way before the finish line. I hit the brakes normally and the car turned left into the wall. There was no excessive braking and the video confirms that. The tires never locked up and no smoke. I assumed it was something that broke in the suspension but that doesn’t appear to be the case. Many racers have confirmed having issues at the shutdown in the left lane. In didn’t contest the DQ because my car was not drivable and I had other things on my mind. The main thing is no one got hurt and the only problem is some bent metal.

Tim, Thank the good LORD that you escaped injury. Sheet metal can be repaired,....This has happened numerous times at Ennis.....

Not sure if anyone noticed but the car that ran in front of Tim, Jimmy Hidalgo was loose when he hit the brakes after his run. Exact same place on the track it looks like. Bad deal for sure.

[Larry Hill]

My car felt a little uneasy in the shut down area on that run
