Lee Zane puts on a driving clinic

Joe DeMarzo · 07-04-2011, 04:21 PM

Lee Zane just put on a driving clinic this weekend at Lebanin Valley, D-1 race. If you look at the rounds and what he did it was incredible. The weather was crazy slow and then got fast and slowed again. Lee had a heads up with Kelly Boyle/Parker's car and hops it up and wins against the odds, then has to race Dan Fletcher in bracket mode and wins and then goes back to a heads up and wins the race. That guy can drive, check out his lights in all kinds of situations and stays calm and cool. My hat is off to Lee (until next time my friend, lol) Congratulations.

On another note Joe Lisa also drove great and his semi final red light was questionable. Joe did not roll through the lights but they flickered and it went red, I would be p*ssed too!
Great job Joe.

Wow, oh freakin' wow!

Every one of the 14 drivers still in the show on Monday morning was tough. Lots of great racing. I feel I should mention Todd Hoven's perfect light.

When I logged on Sunday night and saw that Lee had Kelly Boyle heads-up in the 4th round, I thought, "better luck next time". I checked back 24 hours later, and he not only survived that one, but then won the final heads up against Joe, another known BMF in the class.

Everyone knows about Lee as a driver, but who knew this car was so quick? Must be the Van Poppel influence.

As someone who was lucky enough to have Lee as a driver for four plus years, nothing he does ever surprises me. And he is just a nice guy too.
