LOTS OF ACTIVITY AS STATE SERIES RACE NEARS

COCOA, FL - I want to say a big THANK YOU to all the folks who have supported theRaceway since late 2007. It is becoming apparent that our Saturday night gatherings are not just for racing our slot cars. They are also a time to get together and have a few laughs, recover from one week and get charged up for another. As you all leave each Saturday to return to your homes all over the state, I always hope you arrive safely and can take some light-hearted moment to help you through the week and make you look forward to our next get-together.

Forty-one entries signed in to participate in GROUP 12, WOMP, SPEC NASCAR, GTP and VINTAGE racing. As you can imagine, the program was a bit long. We kept things moving along and were able to get all seven races in by 11:15.

We began on the Hillclimb with the BOX & SPEC 12 cars. Juan Dagma had been in a couple of nights last week and it paid off. He led Matt Boman by a lap after the first segment, and eased away from there.

Matt and Phil Sloan had a great dice for the runner up spot for most of the race. Phil had some mechanical problems in the seventh segment allowing Matt to secure second.

Juan and Matt tied for best segment (39) with Matt turning fast lap (2.913).

Kenny Holton and Count Gibson were running SPEC cars. Both had mechanical problems which were isolated and will be corrected before the State Race in two weeks.

Juan - Koford "Beuf"/RedFox - ProSlot/Proformance Z-28
Matt - Koford "Beuf"/Koford - ProSlot/Outisight Vette w/rib
Phil - Slick 7(?)/Koford - ProSlot/Koford Peugeot

We moved over to the Oval with the Womps.

Count Gibson started on Blue and headed to the lower, safer lanes allowing him to lead the main through the first five segments.

Phil Sloan and Kenny Snodgrass drove around him in the sixth. Phil had a great seventh segment to draw even with Kenny going into the eighth.

Kenny managed to survive White to get Phil by a lap. Count remained comfortably in third.

Kenny had fast lap (2.187) and best segment (39).

Count - Parma Steel/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Monte Carlo

We moved back to the Hillclimb for GTP. We had enough "newbies" to race a GTP "B" main. Welcome to the Garner clan (Darin, Tiffany and Cole) and Chris Alvarez. Chris is not a new racer, but has not raced since 2001 when Fireball Raceway in Melbourne closed. Chris, Cole and Darin were all on the same lap after the first segment. Cole and Darin were tied after two, then Darin found the line and motored away winning, setting fast lap (4.336) and best segment (19). Cole and Chris finished second and third.

TECHNICAL INFO
Darin - JK Cheetah 11/Sealed SpeedFX Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Cole - Champion Turbo-Flex/Parma Sealed 502/Outisight Bentlee HS
Chris -Champion Turbo-Flex/Parma Sealed 502/PSE Lola

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/31084328.jpg


We then put the "A-mainers" on the track. Steve Bowman led Matt Boman for the first segment. Matt drove around Steve in the second and led the rest of the way. Steve, Count Gibson and Kenny Holton, had a great race for the next two places for most of the main. Count had some nagging problems dropping him out of contention late. Steve edged Kenny for the runner up spot. Matt dominated the race with best segment (30) and fast lap (3.726).

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/31064328.jpg


Next we ran SPEC NASCAR. We had enough AMATEUR and EXPERIENCED legal cars to separate them into two mains. We started with the AMATEURs. Kenny Holton and Count Gibson were tied after the first segment.
From then on it was all Count as he took the win, ran best segment (19) and turned fast lap (4.624). Kenny Holton stayed second with Kenny Snodgrass completing the podium.

TECHNICAL INFO
Count - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - FLA-16D/JK Dodge

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/79404328.jpg


The EXPERIENCED main was more of a nail-biter.

Steve Bowman led the whole way and took the win, but Matt Boman had the fastest car on the track. He ran into a bit of trouble early and fell way back, but got things sorted out and put down good numbers in the final six segments. He had to settle for third, but he, Phil Sloan and Steve were all on the same lap!

Matt also had fast lap (4.334) and best segment (20).

TECHNICAL INFO
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - FLA-16D/JK Dodge

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/34384328.jpg


We stayed on the Hillclimb for VINTAGE cars.

Steve Bowman, Kenny Holton, Matt Boman and Count Gibson were all at or near the point throughout the main.

When the power went off, Matt had the win. Count edged Kenny Holton for second (they were on the same lap).

Those four shared best segment (20) with Matt edging count for fast lap (4.437).

STRONG CAR COUNT AT FINAL TUNE UP FOR MY SERIES RACE

COCOA, FL - Forty-two cars signed in for the "regular" Saturday night race program at theRaceway.biz in Cocoa.

We raced until just after 11:00 once again and are expecting a large turnout for the MY SERIES EVENT here this coming Saturday (February 7th) .

We began the evening with the BOX/SPEC 12 cars. Juan Dagma cleaned house last week. This week, Jeff Cox stayed close the entire main falling three laps shy at the end. Terry Tawney must have been running a "soft" motor. He edged Phil Sloan for the final podium spot, but neither were in the hunt for the win. Juan also ran best segment (39) and edged Matt Boman for fast lap (2.960).

Danny Mayer ran the only SPEC 12 car.

TECHNICAL INFO
Juan - Koford "Beuf"/RedFox - ProSlot/Proformance Z-28
Jeff - GuGu/RedFox -Koford - /Outisight Viper
Terry - Koford "Beuf"/Kelly - ProSlot/Outisight Vette

We moved over to the Oval with the Womps.

With a fifteen car field, we conducted single car qualifying with the racers qualifying position determined by laps/sections completed in 30 seconds. Jeff Gross had the best total and was the only racer to complete 11 laps.

The bottom eight qualifiers ran in the "B" with the winner advancing to the "A". In the "B", once Craig Reynolds decided to stop playing bumper cars with John Gross, he went to the front winning and running the best segment (38). Matt Boman was second. Scott Snodgrass (3rd) edged Count Gibson by .001 for fast lap (2.194).

TECHNICAL INFO
Craig - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Matt - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Asphalt Modified
Scott - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Asphalt Modified

In the "A", sixth qualifier Terry Tawney stayed out of trouble to take the win over TQ Jeff Gross. Terry and Jeff tied for fast lap (2.187). "B" Main move-up Craig Reynolds took the third spot and ran best segment (39).

Next we ran SPEC NASCAR . We had enough AMATEUR and EXPERIENCED cars to run two separate mains, but with sufficient marshalls to cover the turns, we raced them as a single main scoring them separately.

When the power went off, Matt Boman (Amateur) took the overall win by about 6 feet over Terry Tawney (Experienced). Joining Matt on the Amateur podium were Ed Delfin and Danny Mayer. Matt also ran best segment (27) and fast lap (4.343). Phil Sloan and Steve Bowman completed the Experienced podium. Terry had best segment (27) and fast lap (4.327).

TECHNICAL INFO (AMATEUR)
Matt - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX-ProSlot SPECFLA/Parma Intrepid

We stayed on the Hillclimb for GTP cars.

Steve Bowman, Terry Tawney, and Matt Boman were all at or near the point throughout the main. When the power went off, Matt had the win. Terry and Matt repeated their same-lap finish in the SPEC main, this time Terry getting the win. They tied for best segment (30) with Matt setting fast lap (3.788). Matt and Terry were using ProSlot tagged Super 16-D armatures. Steve Bowman (3rd place) was using a MY SERIES-legal Sealed Super 16-D motor.

Matt - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Sealed Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS

The final race of the night was VINTAGE. We have to say a big THANK YOU to the racers who stayed to marshall this one. Their job was made easier by the fact these cars just don't seem to de-slot much. Terry Tawney took a surprising four-lap win over Count Gibson with Steve Bowman on virtually the same lap. Terry, Count, Steve and Matt Boman all shared best segment (27) with Steve "VooDoo Drops" Bowman setting fast lap (4.499).

"RETURN TO NORMAL SHOW"

TAWNEY TAKES ALL FOUR


The oval is back up, all the additional pit tables stored, and the store has a quiet, peaceful look once again.

Maybe too quiet! We had a great February hosting a MY SERIES event along with the F.H.O.R.A.

WINTERNATIONALS. Saturday evening we welcomed our WOMP racers back as our VINTAGE racers had one final tune-up for the FVSRA event in Jacksonville. A separate race report will cover that event. If you weren't there, you missed some great racing and a truck load of fun!

Twenty eight entries signed in for theRaceway.biz's Saturday night program which started with the WOMPS. Jeff Gross and Count Gibson led early with Phil Sloan shadowing them. Phil took over mid-race. Jeff "lost the draft" late as Terry Tawney made a move to the front taking an 11 lap win over Phil who just edged Count for second.

Terry also had fast lap (2.185) and best segment (52).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Phil - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Vette
Count - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Monte Carlo

We then put the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. Bob Rondinone and Kenny Holton lead after the first segment with Phil Sloan and Count Gibson only a lap back. Steve Bowman drove around them all in the second to take the point, with Phil, Bob and Count only a lap back. Steve led comfortably through six segments as Terry Tawney was making his way from the back. Terry took over in the seventh and cruised to a 7 lap win over Steve with Kenny Holton coming back to get third. Terry also set fast lap (3.726) and had best segment (30).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Terry - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700-42/Outisight Bentlee HS
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Sealed Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Kenny - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700-42/Outisight Mercedes HD

The "12" cars were up next. We had a mixed field of SPEC and BOX 12 cars.

In BOX 12, Terry Tawney and Phil Sloan kept things close for the first three segments. Phil then had a mechanical problem allowing Terry to motor on to his third win of the night. Phil hung on for second and second overall. The two tied for best segment (37) while Terry was the only racer under 3 seconds turning a fast lap of 2.968.

In SPEC, Count Gibson led for the first three segments, then the motor came unsoldered. Kenny Holton and Steve Bowman raced it out from there. Steve got the win, set fast lap (3.343) and best segment (33).

We finished up with our VINTAGE cars. Terry Tawney led by a lap after the first segment with Steve Bowman and Kenny Holton right on his heels. It stayed that way through six segments; Steve bobbled a bit and let Terry get far enough away that he could not recover in the final two segments. Kenny edged Count Gibson by a lap for third.

Terry and Steve tied for best segment (27) and Terry edged Count for fast lap (4.335)

Thirty eight entries signed in for theRaceway.biz's Saturday night program which started with the WOMPS. Count Gibson started down low and led the first three segments with Matt Boman and the Snodgrasses staying close. Matt led at halfway with Count and Kenny Snodgrass three laps back, on the same lap. Kenny took over in the fifth and led the rest of the way. Phil Sloan made his way to second before it was all over with Scott Snodgrass coming back edge Count for third. Phil had best segment (40) and tied Kenny and Scott for fast lap (2.187).

We then put the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. This was an 11-car round robin race, so we watched the "lap average" screen to keep up with who was where. Terry Tawney stayed at the top the entire race and took the win. Kenny Holton and Bob Rondinone had very good runs to complete the podium. Bob was particularly impressive as he was using a sealed motor. Terry had fast lap (3.788) and shared best segment honors (30) with Kenny Holton

The "12" cars were up next. We had a mixed field of SPEC and BOX 12 cars.

In BOX 12, Matt Boman and Phil Sloan kept things close for the first half. Matt then hiccuped allowing Phil a bit of breathing room. Phil took a comfortable 8-lap win over Matt with Kenny Holton third. Terry Tawney had best segment (37) while Chris Alvarez had fast lap (3.016).

In SPEC, Mark Burt and Marty Stanley were tied at halfway with Rich Taylor just a handful of laps back. Mark was faster in the 5th and 6th segments which was the difference. Mark's winning SPEC total put him 3rd overall and he had best SPEC segment (33). Rich Taylor set fast lap in the class (3.179).

COCOA, FL[/b] - The crowd was a little light, but we still had enough racers to get in a full schedule of WOMP, GROUP 12, GTP and VINTAGE racing last Saturday night.

As usual, we began with the WOMPS. Phil Sloan and Count Gibson were deadlocked for the first three segments. Phil took a hard hit and lost a crown gear allowing the field to get away. It was all Count after that as he set fast time (2.132) and best segment (40) on his way to the win over Bill Colvard and Steve Bowman (Bill was using a Steve Bowman loaner).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Count - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Bill - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Grand Prix
Steve - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/10507015.jpg


We combined our BOX-12 and SPEC-12 cars into a single main. Surprisingly, all of the BOX-12 cars finished ahead of the SPEC-12 cars Steve Bowman's Spec 12 winner actually finished on the same lap as Phil Sloan's Box-12 third place finisher, but Phil had track position. In BOX-12, Matt Boman got a fairly comfortable win over Kenny Holton. He also set fast lap (3.062) for best segment with Phil Sloan getting best segment (37). Count Gibson was in the top two overall with his SPEC 12 until a lead wire broke dropping him to the rear of the field. As mentioned, Steve Bowman took the win and best segment (36). Rich Taylor (2nd) set fast lap (3.234).

We then put the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. This was an event that featured a very fast field (every car entered ran 4.0 or faster). We used the "Crazy Lanes" format which rotates racers in and out allowing everyone to race all eight lanes, but still serve as marshals half the time. It takes a bit longer, but everyone seemed to like the format Matt Boman "dominated" the event running fast lap (3.789) and best segment (31) while winning by five laps over Steve Bowman. Kenny Holton completed the podium

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/58857015.jpg


We finished up with our VINTAGE cars. We used the same format as GTP. The field was very tight as only 1.5 tenths of a second separated the fastest car from the "slowest". Matt Boman took his third win of the evening over Phil Sloan and Kenny Holton. Phil and Kenny finished on the same lap. When we took the photos, Mr. Tech inspector noticed Phil had an unapproved front end set-up (shame on Mr. Inspector for missing it in pre-race tech). Kenny moved to second with Chris Alvarez getting on the podium. Phil's car is in the picture so you can see what NOT to do to your VINTAGE, GTP, or NASCAR front end! Chris, I'm sorry I didn't think to get another photo with your car in it.

K-HO BRINGS THE PAIN

COCOA, FL - Thirty-one entries signed in for a full schedule of WOMP, GTP, GROUP 12 and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night.

As usual, we began with the WOMPS. Phil Sloan led Count Gibson by two laps after the first segment. After that it was all Count. He had best segment (40) and fast lap (2.132) on his way to a one lap win holding off a late charge by Terry Tawney. Phil, Bill Colvard, Matt Boman and Steve Bowman all ran in the top three at some point with Phil getting the final podium spot.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Count - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Phil - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Corvette

We then put the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. This was an event that featured a very fast field and there were only three laps separating first from fourth. We used the "Crazy Lanes" format which rotates racers in and out allowing everyone to race all eight lanes, but keeps us looking at the "lap average" screen to see where everyone is. Steve Bowman was invisible until the final segment. When the power went off, he had a single lap on Terry Tawney. Kenny Holton and Matt Boman were two laps back with Kenny getting the final podium spot by track position. Matt did have the best segment (31) while Terry edged him for fast lap (3.679).

We combined our BOX-12 and SPEC-12 cars into a single main Once again, all of the BOX-12 cars finished ahead of the SPEC-12 cars. In BOX-12, Kenny Holton and Phil Sloan were on the same lap after the first segment. Kenny "brought the pain" from then on. He set fast lap (2.960) and best segment (38) taking a three lap win over Phil. Terry Tawney completed the podium. In SPEC-12, Rich Taylor was blistering the field for six segments and looked like a shoe in for 2nd overall. Black and purple however tripped him up and Steve Bowman got by for the win. Rich did set fast lap (3.015) and ran best segment (36). Count Gibson completed the podium.

We finished up with our VINTAGE cars. We separated them into an "A" and "B" main, with the winner advancing to the "A". Count Gibson survived a dogfight with Bill Colvard and Kenny Holton in the "B". The trio stayed within a lap of each other for five segments. Count was able to ease away in the final three segments to take the win. Bill edged Kenny for second. Count had best segment (20) with Kenny setting fast lap (4.335). I do apologize for not having a photo of the "B" main cars.

In the "A" it was a matter of who blinked. Count "lost the draft early" while Matt Boman, Terry Tawney and Phil Sloan all stayed together for the entire main. All tied for best segment (21) with Phil setting fast lap (4.171). Matt took the win, Phil was second and Terry third.

SLOAN SAYS "GOODBYE" WITH A WIN

K-HO: PAIN II


COCOA, FL - Twenty-nine entries signed in for a full schedule of WOMP, GTP, GROUP 12 and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night.

As usual, we began with the WOMPS. Count Gibson led by two laps after segment two. Phil Sloan took over in the third and led the rest of the way. He "dominated" the event running best segment (40) and fast lap (2.141) on his way to his first win. Count made a late run but fell three laps short with Kenny Snodgrass taking the final podium spot. We bid adieu to Phil as he will be heading back to Michigan next week. We look forward to welcoming him back in November.

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/56586161.jpg


We then put the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. This was an event that featured another very fast field. It was a ten-car "round robin" main, keeping us looking at the "lap average" screen each segment. Phil Sloan and Terry Tawney stayed at the top with the final podium spot up for graps until the final segment. Terry edged Phil for the win and tied Kenny Holton for fast lap (3.898). Bill Colvard took third and tied Terry for best segment (29).

We combined our BOX-12 and SPEC-12 cars into a single main. Once again, all of the BOX-12 cars finished ahead of the SPEC-12 cars. In BOX-12, Kenny Holton "brought the pain" for the second week in a row. He led by as many a 9 laps after five segments. Terry Tawney went "checkers or wreckers" in the final three segments to close to a single lap. Phil Sloan got his third podium of the night. Kenny "dominated" the event with the win, fast lap (2.844) and best segment (40). Rich Taylor was our lone surviving SPEC 12 racer. Nagging mechanical problems kept him off the track some, but he did manage a very impressive fast lap (2.905).

Phil Sloan led the first three segments with Kenny Holton and Count Gibson within a lap. Kenny led the fourth. In the fifth and sixth, the trio were all on the same lap. Kenny managed to find an extra lap over the final two segments to edge Count. Phil was another two laps back, making the podium in each of the evening's events. Kenny also recorded fast lap (4.234) and best segment (21).

COCOA, FL (April 24, 09) - Twenty-one entries signed in for GTP, GROUP 12 and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night.

As there was only one entry for WOMPS, we started with the GTP cars on the Hillclimb. We had a sufficient number of both "asian armature" and ProSlot 700 powered cars to separate them into different mains. In the "asian" main, the "Bills" went at it! Bill Colvard and "Mr. Bill" Stuyvenberg stayed on virtually the same lap through the first half of the race. Bill C. picked up a couple of laps in the 5th segment, another pair in the 6th and cruised home from there setting best segment (29) in the final two minutes. Cory Borden completed the podium and set fast lap (3.946). We really appreciate "Mr. Bill", Cory and Phil Masse making the drive down from Port Orange. They added even more humor to an already fun bunch. Phil is also a practiced race director and has been willing to pitch in whenever his expertise is needed.

TECHNICAL INFO (Asian arm main)

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/96550840.jpg

In the "ProSlot 700" main, Matt Boman, Terry Tawney and Steve Bowman stayed close for the first two segments. Steve sort of "lost the draft" in the third as Matt and Terry edged away. Matt had a problem in the seventh segment allowing Terry to get away completely and Steve to catch up. Matt and Steve finished on the same lap with Steve taking the second spot by a few feet. Steve was running a sealed super 16-D motor, but arrived too late to start the "asian main" which he would have won easily with his lap total. Terry dominated the event by recording best segment (32) and fast lap (3.679).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Terry - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700-38/Outisight Bentlee HS

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/48220840.jpg

We combined our BOX-12 and SPEC-12 cars into a single main. In BOX-12, Kenny Holton was looking to"bring pain" for the third straight week. He, Jeff Cox and Steve Bowman (SPEC 12) were deadlocked for the first three segments. In the fourth, Jeff and Kenny put a little distance on Steve. It pretty much stayed that way until the final two segments when the handle went away on Steve's car allowing our other SPEC 12 racer, Matt Boman, to catch and pass Steve for the SPEC 12 win and third overall. Matt also had fast lap (3.124) and best segment (37) for the SPEC 12 cars. Jeff took the BOX-12 win, Kenny was second and Terry Tawney completed the podium after dropping a magnet and changing motors. Jeff had best segment (40) with Kenny setting fast lap (2.850).

We finished up, as is the norm, with the VINTAGE cars. The best race was the race-within-a-race between Mr. Bill and Cory Borden for bragging rights during the ride back to Port Orange. While Terry Tawney and Kenny Holton were dicing for the overall, Steve Bowman, Cory and Mr. Bill were putting on a great show for the final podium position. Cory had the best lap average for 13 of the 14 segments. In the final, Steve was able to drive around to take third with Mr. Bill getting Cory by 15 feet to win the "Battle of Port Orange". Terry and Kenny tied for best segment (28) with Terry just getting fast lap (4.225) over Kenny and Matt Boman (7th).

COCOA, FL (May 2, 09) - Seventeen entries signed in for WOMP, GTP, and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night. We want to welcome Ed and Chad Newman as new racers. They divide their time among several tracks in the state. They both raced WOMPS with us last night, and Chad even tried his hand on our Hillclimb in the GTP race. He actually did rather well. The car was still in one piece and just as fast at the end of his main as it was when he started! Ed leans more toward drag racing, so you know where you'll find him most Saturday nights!

May is a tough month in our industry. It was our single worst month last year. Last May was also the month that convinced Richard Houston to close Killer X Raceway in Homossassa. Car counts have been down and business generally sluggish the past two weeks among the raceway owners I have heard from. This is not cause for alarm, as I mentioned it is typical for this time of year. The weather starts to draw us to the beach or other watersports, yardwork is needed after a long season of neglect, and any number of things that have been left undone demand our attention. If you can squeeze in a visit to your local raceway (wherever it is), you will be doing more than you know for the hobby/sport (and the owners morale)! We are, of course, thankful for our year 'round racers whose passion for the sport never wanes. We hope to see our more casual racers some during May and throughout the traditionally slower summer months. There are many exciting events scheduled around the state in May and June and we hope you will choose to participate in one or more.

We began our program with the WOMPS. They put on their usual entertaining show. Steve Bowman, Kenny Snodgrass and Bob Rondinone all ran at or near the point for the first half of the race. Bob "lost the draft" at that point, and Terry Tawney began to move. He got around Bob and Steve by the sixth segment, then drove around Kenny in the final minute and a half. He "dominated" the event by also turning fast lap (2.140) and best segment (39).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Kenny - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Supermodified
Steve - Parma Womp Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Grand Prix

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/10375131.jpg


GTP was next, and it was close from start to finish. Steve Bowman and Bill Colvard were never more than 1-1/2 laps apart and often on the same lap. That's how they finished, Steve getting the win by less than three feet. Bill ran best segment (30) while Steve turned fast lap (3.789). Chris Alvarez completed the podium.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Sealed Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Bill - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Super 16D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Chris - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700-42/Outisight Bentlee HS

http://slotracing.lenzus.com/content/16385647/52035131.jpg


We finished up with the VINTAGE cars. We ran this one in the "Crazy Lanes" format so we constantly monitored the "lap average" screen to keep track of who was where. Bill Colvard, Terry Tawney, Steve Bowman and Bob Rondinone all had strong individual segments. Steve was down on horsepower, however, and Bob had some early race problems that would keep him off the podium. Bill and Terry motored away segment by segment in a race of their own. Bill took the win, tied Terry for best segment (27) and edged Bob by .001 for fast lap (4.280). Steve finished just ahead of Chris Alvarez for the final podium position.

"COUNT" 'EM:
THREE RACES, THREE WINS!

COCOA, FL (May 30, 09) - Eighteen entries signed in for SPEC-12, WOMP, GTP, and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night. It was a pleasant surprise to see Craig Brubaker. I figured his pharmaceutical studies were going to keep him in Jacksonville permanently, but he is back in Brevard for the summer. He dragged Jeff Gross in as well. Jeff will be hitting the road this summer with his dad, John, and their portable track. If you watched the Dover race on FOX yesterday, you might have seen their track during one of the promos.

We began our program with SPEC-12. Although the lap times were all very close, Count Gibson had the fewest deslots and took a comfortable win over Rich Taylor. Rich had fast lap (3.233) and shared best segment with Count (26 - 90 second segments). Jeff Gross completed the podium.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Count - ProSlot 318-08/Koford-Koford/PSE Demon

VINTAGE cars (our largest field of the night) took to the track next. We ran this one in the "Crazy Lanes" format so we constantly monitored the "lap average" screen to keep track of who was where Bill Colvard and Count Gibson stayed on the same lap until very late in the race. Bill's Falcon-7 started to go away allowing Count to get his second win of the night. Bob Rondinone completed the podium. Count had best segment (27) with Jeff Gross setting fast lap (4.335).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Count - JK Cheetah 11/Falcon-7/JK Lola 280
Bill - JK X-24/Falcon-7/JK Porsche 908 Can-AM

GTP was next, and it was all Bill Colvard. Bob Rondinone was fast - very fast - but had no racing luck. His brute speed kept him in second with Rich Taylor completing the podium. Bill and Bob shared best segment (28) and fast lap (4.007) honors.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Bill - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS

We moved over to the Oval for WOMPS. They put on their usual entertaining show. Count Gibson led Jeff Gross by one lap after the first segment. Craig Brubaker drove around Jeff in the second and stuck to Count for the next four. He struggled on the white lane giving Count a little breathing room. Even though Craig came back a little in the final segment, Count took his third win of the night. He did it in style recording best segment (37) and fast lap (2.249). Jeff Gross and Bob Rondinone finished on the same lap for third, with Bob getting the position by about a yard.

MATT BOMAN TAKES THREE

COCOA, FL (06 JUNE, 09) - Halleluia!, we are through May!

Forty entries signed in for 4-1/2" STOCK CAR, WOMP, GTP, BOX & SPEC 12's and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday night to start June off right.

WOMP and 4-1/2 Stock Cars were particularly well supported as racers prepare for the FLORIDA SHORT TRACK SUMMER SHOOTOUT that is now less than two weeks away.

West Coast racers Aaron Rothstein and Mike and Nathan Fugelberg drove over and "old" friend/new racer Liz Whitney made her WOMP debut.

We began the evening with 4-1/2" Stock Cars. Billy Rouse hung with Matt Boman for the first two segments. From there, Matt steadily pulled away from the field to take a comfortable 13 lap win over Count Gibson. Kenny Holton got past Billy late to take the final podium spot. Matt "dominated" the event by setting fast lap (1.921) and best segment (41).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Matt - Champion Turbo-Flex/SpeedFX-FL Spec/Parma T-Bird
Count - JK/Sealed Deathstar/JK Monte Carlo
Kenny - Parma Flexi-3/SpeedFX Sealed 16-D/JK Toyota

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/14842882.jpg


We stayed on the Oval for WOMPS. Aaron Rothstein took full advantage of starting on the bottom of the track to stay out of trouble and build a big lead early. Jeff Gross and Count Gibson both made strong charges late, but could not get close enough to challenge. Jeff edged Count by a lap for the runner up spot and tied Aaron for fast lap (2.187). Aaron had best segment (39)

We moved over to the Hillclimb for BOX & SPEC 12's. In SPEC 12, Matt Boman was
"bad fast". He was able to dominate the event setting fast lap (3.024) and best segment (35) taking the win over Steve Bowman and Craig Brubaker.

In BOX 12, Kenny Holton was quick enough to tie Jeff Cox for best segment (38) and fast lap (2.884), but stripped a spur in a crash and lost many laps making repairs. He did hang on for second as Nathan Fugeberg and the rest of the field also had mechanical problems

The GTP cars were separated into "Sealed" and "Unsealed" classes. Both races were runaways for their respective winners, though the lap times and totals were similar for the two. Matt Boman took his third win of the night in the "Unsealed" race over Bill Colvard and Kenny Holton. Matt also had fast lap (3.742) and best segment (30).

VINTAGE cars (once again our largest field) were the final race of the evening. I want to thank Liz Whitney and Billy Rouse for staying to marshal this race and Aaron Rothstein who stayed to race which meant Nathan and Steve Fugelberg "got to" stay and marshal as well! We ran this one as a round robin so we were constantly monitoring the "laps averaged" screen between segments to see who was where. For most of the race, it looked like Matt Boman was going to get his fourth win of the night. His Falcon-7 slowed late in the event dropping him to 7th. In the final segment, Count Gibson did just what he had to and edged Bill Colvard for the win. Kenny Holton took his fourth podium of the night finishing third. Count, Bill, Kenny, Aaron, Matt and Bob Rondinone all tied for best segment (27) while Aaron set fast lap (4.272), just .009 faster than Count, Bill, Kenny and Matt who all ran the exact same time.

THREE-PETE REPEAT FOR MATT BOMAN

COCOA, FL (13 JUNE 09) - Twenty-four entries signed in for 4-1/2" STOCK CAR, WOMP, GTP and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday including first time racers John Davis from Lakeland and local Oscar Mujica. Oscar's mom owns the party supply store next to theRaceway.biz and he and his younger brother Darion have had cars for quite some time, but this was the first time either of them entered a race. We may see them both in the Amateur Womp race at next Saturday's FLORIDA SHORT TRACK SUMMER SHOOTOUT.

We began the evening with 4-1/2" Stock Cars. Matt Boman led wire to wire setting fast lap (1.976) and best segment (42) to take his first win of the night. Bob Rondinone (with a Matt Boman loaner) was second and Rick Smolka (with a Jeff Gross loaner) completed the podium

TECHNICAL INFO:
Matt - Champion Turbo-Flex/SpeedFX-ProSlot/Parma COT

Rick - JK Cheetah-7/Parma Sealed Deathstar/JK Toyota

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/46611348.jpg


We stayed on the Oval for WOMPS. Rick Smolka stayed close to Matt Boman for the first two segments, then began to fade - but just a bit. He stayed second until very late in the race when Jeff Gross drove around him. Rick finished third, securing his second podium of the night. Matt dominated this one, also setting fast lap (2.203) and best segment (39)

This week, everyone in GTP chose to run an "all-Asian" motor, allowing us to run everyone in a single main. We did use the "crazy lanes' format for the sake of marshalling, so we were monitoring the "laps averaged" screen to keep up with who was where. The lap times were very close among the field . Steve Bowman stayed the cleanest and took the win over Matt Boman. Bill Colvard completed the podium. Bob Rondinone set fast lap (3.843). Those four shared best segment honors (29).

VINTAGE cars (once again our largest field) took to the track for the final race of the evening. We ran this one as a "crazy lanes round robin" so we were again monitoring the "laps averaged" screen between segments to see who was where.

TAWNEY TAKES TWO

LANDRY "BRINGS THE PAIN"


COCOA, FL (27 JUNE 09) - Twenty entries signed in for WOMP, GP-12, GTP and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday including first time racer Joe Hemmas. Joe visited the store earlier in the week and decided to take the plunge Saturday afternoon. He picked up a JK VINTAGE RTR, secured a loaner controller, entered and finished his first race that evening.

We started on the Oval with WOMPS. Bob Rondinone jumped to a big lead early then held off a late charge by Matt Boman to take a three lap win. Matt did everything except win, setting fast lap (2.1333) and best segment (40). Ian Landry finished third.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Bob - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Matt - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Taurus
Ian - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Taurus

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/99773029.jpg


We had three Group 12 racers on hand and ran a "fun race" to allow them to lay down some rubber for us on the just cleaned Hillclimb and shake their cars down to prepare for the My Series event that will take place at theRaceway.biz on July 11th. This time Terry had chronic motor problems allowing Juan an easy win among the "BOX-12" cars. Matt Boman was running a "SPEC-12" car and, heat after heat, was just as fast as the less restricted cars. He best lap was only .05 seconds off Juan's best and his best segment only a lap shy.

TECHNICAL INFO:
Juan - Koford "Beuf"/Red Fox - ProSlot(?)/ProFormance Z-28
Matt - Koford "Beuf"/Koford - Koford/PSE Demon (not a SPEC legal body, but Matt has an O/S Viper ready for the 11th)

A smallish GTP field prompted us to use the "crazy lanes' format for the sake of marshalling, so we were monitoring the "laps averaged" screen to keep up with who was where. The lap times were very close among the field, and the finish was decided mostly by attrition. Terry Tawney was the only entrant to have no problems and took an easy win over Bill Colvard. Even third place finisher, Ian Landry, lost his motor in the last segment, but had enough of a cushion to hold of the rest of the field. Terry had best segment (30) and edged Matt Boman for fast lap (3.726).

Terry Tawney started at the top and stayed there to get his second win of the night. He dominated this one too, setting fast time (4.163) and best segment (29). Bill Colvard got his second podium of the night and Matt Boman secured his third. Ian Landry in his first VINTAGE race (meaning the first time he's raced our Hillclimb backwards) did a great Kenny Holton impersonation by "bringing the pain" to just about everyone during the main. There were no hard feelings, we are all happy to have Ian as part of the program at theRaceway.biz. He will be missed when he heads back to Virginia later in the summer.

BOWMAN TAKES TWO

COCOA, FL (03 JULY 09) - Forteen entries signed in for WOMP, GTP and VINTAGE RACING this past Saturday including first time racers German Candelario and Russell Cordle. German has been visiting with us for some time but this was the first time he entered a race. He just purchased an Orange track and will soon open a raceway in Orlando. Russel was visiting from Merrietta, GA where his dad and uncle own a raceway (CMS Hobbies). He and German were both able to score podium finishes in GTP.

We started on the Oval with WOMPS. Terry Tawney led early and large. Bill Colvard was able to chase him down and the two were tied going to the final segment. Bill had the mistaken notion that WOMPS handle the same lap after lap - BIG MISTAKE! Terry motored off in the final segment to take a comfortable win. Steve Bowman ran a great last segment and almost caught the faltering Bill Colvard, but had to settle for third. Bill and Steve tied for best segment (40) and Terry set fast lap (2.093).

TECHNICAL INFO:
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Bill - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Taurus
Steve - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/95620595.jpg

GTP was our largest field of the night, and times were very close as only .33 seconds separated the fastest car from the slowest. Most interesting to me, in the final segment, everyone ran the same number of laps and they were all within a lap of Steve Bowman and Russel Cordle's best segment total (26). Steve just edged Russel for fast lap (4.117) Steve took the win over German Candelario with Russel third.

TECHNICAL INFO - GTP
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Sealed Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/95630595.jpg

VINTAGE cars were the final class of the night. Again this was a tight field with only .2 seconds separating the fastest from the "slowest". Steve Bowman took a tentative lead from the start and held it through halfway. John Davis took the point in the fifth segment. Steve got back on the lead lap in the sixth and he and John stayed on the same lap for the remainder of the race. Steve got his second win, and third podium of the night by about 1/3 lap. He also had best segment (24) and tied Joe Hammes (third place) and Ian Landry for fast lap (4.718)

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

I try to let others see what we're doing. We have FUN doing what we do and hope that others can also find enjoyment in similar types of racing.

The Womp racing is just so much fun. Watching some very good racers have to work as hard as they do just to make these cars work as well as they do is quite interesting. When you have 27 entries for a Womp race, well you know that you must be doing something correctly.

If you ever get down in our neck of the woods, place be sure to drop by. We always have 'loaners' with us at all times.

AN ACTUAL TIE!

COCOA, FL (11 JULY 09) - We wrapped up the MY SERIES event at about 5:00p.m. Saturday evening but several racers had not had enough. Twenty additional entries stayed to race WOMPS, VINTAGE and tear up some more GTP cars!

We started on the Oval with WOMPS. Bill Colvard led the first three segments. In the fourth, Count Gibson pulled even then led the fifth. Bill drove back around him in the sixth and held on for the win. While all this was going on, Ian Landry and Billy Rouse were swapping third spot. Bill ultimately won that battle. Best segment (39) and fast lap (2.202) were set by Count.

GTP was up next, and the field was very fast as all but one car recorded a fast lap of 3.8 or better. Terry Tawney led Matt Boman by a lap after the first segment. He was able to pick up a little each segment and cruised to a comfortable win. Matt and Bob Rondinone, however, stayed close throughout the main with Matt ultimately getting the second spot. Terry dominated the event by also recording fast lap (3.679) and best segment (31)

VINTAGE cars were the final class of the night. We separated the entries into Experienced and Amateur mains. In the Experienced main, we had the tightest race ever. Bill Colvard and Count Gibson were at the top of the "laps averaged" screen throughout the main. They finished on the same lap in the same section. As we were running a sit-out format, they were not both on the track at the end of the race. So we had our first official tie! The duo also tied for best segment (28) with Count recording fast lap (4.233). Terry Tawney secured the final podium position.

In the Amateur main, Ian Landry managed to get out to a 4-lap lead after two segments. Oscar Mujica picked up a lap or two occassionally, only to drop back again. Ian took the win, with Oscar holding off Billy Rouse for second. Oscar did record fast lap (4.390) and best segment (19).

OFFUTT FAST BUT FRAIL

G-3's TAKE TWO

COCOA, FL (18 JULY 09) - This was the first of three events making up a long racing weekend at theRaceway.biz. It was made a bit longer as one of our A/C compressors failed late Friday evening. The repairman was nice enough to come out and diagnose the problem, but said he would be unable to install a new compressor until after the weekend. We still had one functioning a/c unit, and with the creative placement of some large fans, we managed to keep racing!

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/16035846.jpg


Thirty-two entries signed in for FHORA '09 Race # 5. The program began with a healthy field of SPEC STORM racers. The racing was very close with Port St. John's Count Gibson edging Land O' Lake's Tiffany Garner for the win. First timer Joe Wisniski (Merritt Island) edged Lakeland's Sami Davis for the final podium position. Count also set the fast lap of the race on the WIZZARD BANZAI (3.402).

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/r/l_64375846.jpg


The PRO-AM SUPER STOCK race was not as close. Orlando's Jimmie Parris drove his G-3 to a nine lap win over Darin Garner's STORM. Bill Colvard completed the podium and set fast lap (3.069).

EXPERT SUPER STOCK was as close as it gets. Clayton St. Clair (Riverview) and Craig Reynolds ran off and his as the rest of the field raced for third. As it was a round robin affair, we were watching the "laps averaged" screen to see who was where. With one segment to go Clayton had finished his race and Craig needed 57 laps to catch him. Craig had been averaging 52, so it didn't look good. He did manage an impressive 56 in the final three minutes to fall a lap short of a tie. The big shocker was Craig didn't set fast lap, nor would he get a quick time on the day. Robbie Offutt set fast time (2.922) and Ed Delfin completed the podium.

It was time to switch to the Poly-magnet cars. 6-OHM MODIFIED was the largest field of the day. It was payback time. Bill Colvard avenged the 12 lap beatdown Jimmie Parris gave him in SUPER STOCK, by taking a 10-lap win over Jimmie. Bill also set fast lap (2.636) Tiffany Garner took the final podium position edging Count Gibson, who had nipped her in SPEC STORM.

EXPERT MODIFIED was the final class of the HO event. Only five laps separated first from third when the checkers flew. Lakeland's Terry Flynn secured the second win of the day for a G-3. Summerfield's Ed Delfin was a close second and Clayton St Clair took his second podium of the day. Fast lap, once again, went to Robbie Offutt (2.300).

Several of the HO racers stayed around to participate on the 1/24 program Saturday evening, and they did very well. In the WOMP race, Steve Bowman (who puts equal effort into HO and 1/24) took an easy win, ran best segment (40) and tied Craig Reynolds for fast lap (2.187). Craig took second, one lap ahead of Bob Rondinone.

COCOA, FL (25 July 09) - Compared to the rest of the month, this was a quiet Saturday. We did see several new faces in the store and had some acitivity on the WIZZARD HO track.

We also had our first NOVICE race in a long time. It was a true NOVICE event in that it was all of the participants' first race. Each NOVICE was assisted by an Experienced racer during the main so all they had to do was move their controller and concentrate on driving. Henry Picco led the first segment. Daulton Chouinard drew even for the next couple of segments. Steven Garritson drove around Daulton in the fourth. The interval between the top three changed very little for the rest of the main. Henry took the win and tied Daulton and Steven for best segment (14) with Daulton recording fast lap (5.383). All four cars were intact and running at the end of the main, turning more and faster laps in the final segment than in the first.

FOUR RACES -

FOUR WINNERS!


COCOA, FL (01 AUG 09) - Twenty-five entries signed in for WOMPS, GTP, BOX & SPEC-12 and VINTAGE racing this past Saturday evening.

We started on the Oval with a strong WOMP field. Strong enough that less than 7 laps separated first from fifth. Count Gibson led the first segment, then gave way to Bill Colvard. Bill managed to fend off attacks from Count, Bob Rondinone and Terry Tawney to secure a 3-1/2 lap victory. Count set fast lap (2.092) and finished third with Terry hanging on to second. Bill also ran best segment (39).

TECHNICAL INFO WOMPS:
Bill - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Taurus
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Dirt Modified
Count - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

We moved over to the Hillclimb and switched from the slowest and orneriest cars to the fastest and best handling.

We combined the SPEC and BOX 12 cars into a single main, scoring them separately. In Box 12, it was all Jeff Cox. He set fast lap (2.850) and best segment (39) on his way to a comfortable win over Terry Tawney. Matt Boman was third. In the SPEC race, Count Gibson did the same thing running fast lap (3.179) and best segment (36) taking the win over Steve Bowman.

GTP's were next. Nearly the entire field turned 3.8 or faster lap times during the race. With everyone having plenty of horsepower, it was a matter of keeping it clean. Terry Tawney did the "sweep" turning fast lap (3.679) and running best segment (31) to dominate the very fast field. Steve Bowman took the second spot with Matt Boman finishing third.

TECHNICAL INFO GTP:
Terry - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/76649035.jpg


The VINTAGE race was one of the best races I ever witnessed. Everyone was running consistent 4.2's and matching each other lap for lap, segment after segment. Matt Boman either had the lead or was tied for the lead every segment. His advantage was never more than a lap He and Steve Bowman were on the same lap for the final three segments. Steve was just a bit cleaner in the final segment to get the win by 1/3 of a lap. Matt defended second. Kenny Holton, Terry Tawney and Count Gibson were deadlocked for the final podium spot with Kenny getting it on track position. Kenny also set fast lap (4.171). Steve, Matt, Kenny and Count all tied for best segment (21).

In the Novice main, Ed Thompson led from the beginning to take a comfortable win. Dalton Chouinard, Charlie Stiles and Steven Garrison put on a great show for second with Dalton getting the position.

MATT BOMAN IS FAST

STEVE BOWMAN IS CLOSE

TERRY TAWNEY TAKES 'EM ALL (AGAIN)

COCOA, FL (15 AUG 09) - Our car count was much improved over the past two weeks as eighteen signed in to race WOMPs, GTPs and VINTAGE cars this past Saturday evening. Unfortunately, our Novice racers had other activities scheduled, but we hope to see them back soon.

As is customary, we began with WOMPs on the Oval. Terry Tawney jumped out to a three lap lead after one segment and stretched it to as many as nineteen before Steve Bowman made a late charge to close the gap to five. Matt Boman completed the podium and set fast lap (2.140). Steve and Terry tied for best segment (39). Steve and Terry's chassis were switched in the photo, so the technical info will not agree with the picture.

TECHNICAL INFO WOMPS:

Steve - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Matt - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Taurus

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/62131579.jpg


GTP's were next. Once again, we had an extremely fast field. Everyone also ran very clean with the outcome the result largely of mechanical hiccups. Terry Tawney had no problems at all and did the "sweep" turning fast lap (3.742) and running best segment (31) to dominate the event. Bill Colvard took the second spot with Steve Bowman finishing third.

TECHNICAL INFO GTP:

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/99801674.jpg


VINTAGE cars completed the evening. Although Terry Tawney took his third win of the night, the race was very close with "racing luck" determining much of outcome. Only three laps separated second from sixth with five racers sharing best segment honors - Terry Tawney, Kenny Holton (3rd), Steve Bowman (2nd), Bob Rondinone and Matt Boman all had 21 lap segments. Matt once again turned fast lap (4.163).

THREE RACES,

COCOA, FL (22 AUG 09) - Car count has remained steady over the past three weeks. Fifteen signed in to race WOMPs, GTPs and VINTAGE cars this past Saturday evening.

Bob's car had trouble holding the bank in the middle lanes and allowed Count to get away for the win. Kenny Holton finished third in a rare WOMP appearance. Count turned fast lap (2.140) and shared best segment with Bob (38).

THREE RACES,

THREE WINNERS!

COCOA, FL (29 AUG 09) - Car count doubled this week. Many thanks to Steve Bowman and his "crew". They comprised 1/3 of the thirty sign-ins to race WOMPs, 12's, GTPs and VINTAGE cars this past Saturday evening. As is customary, we began with WOMPs on the Oval. Count Gibson, Steve Bowman, Craig Reynolds and Bob Rondinone all spent time at or near the point for most of the main. Steve and Bob were both able to stay close to the point, but Bill Colvard drove around everyone in the final two segments to get his third straight win in the class. Craig Reynolds set fast lap (2.140) and had best segment (40).

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMPS:
Bill - Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Steve- Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Bob - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

We moved over to the Hillclimb to run the NOVICE class. It is certainly encouraging to see this class once again become semi-regular.

It's especially gratifying to see the racing close and the participants driving well enough so that everyone finishes with the cars running as fast at the end of the main as at the beginning. Charlie Stiles got his first win (in his first race) by three laps over Daulton Chouinard. Katelyn Stiles and Steven Garrison were on the same lap for third with Katelyn getting the final Podium spot by about half a lap. Charlie also ran fast lap (4.944) and tied Stephanie Garrison and Daulton for best segment (15).

TECHNICAL INFO - NOVICE:

A small field of BOX and SPEC 12 took to the track next. Jeff Cox led the BOX 12 cars wire to wire. Count Gibson stayed close and looked to be the easy SPEC 12 winner until an apparent electrical problem slowed him late in the race. Once it was discovered the problem was with the track, it was too late for Count to guard the win. He did hang on to second with Steve Bowman taking the win. Count ran fast lap (3.132) and best segment (36). Jeff "dominated" the BOX 12 cars taking the win, setting fast time (2.796) and best segment (40). Matt Boman was second with Terry Tawney getting the final podium spot.

GTP's were next. Once again, we had an extremely fast field. The race, however, was just plain strange. It seemed everyone had some little gremlin that took them off the track momentarily. Matt Boman had the fewest hiccups and took the win and tied Terry Tawney for best segment (30). Terry was third, just edging Oscar Mujica by a lap, and ran fast lap (3.733). Bob Rondinone was just a lap ahead of that duo to take second.

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. Bill Colvard and Terry Tawney were tied after the first segment. Bill's motor started to lay down and it was all he could do to manage a podium position. Even with Bill's motor slowing, it took Steve Boman until segment six to catch him. Terry "dominated" the event running best segment (28) and just edged Matt Boman and Bob Rondinone by .01 seconds for fast lap (4.163)

MATT BOMAN (NEARLY) PERFECT!

COCOA, FL (05 SEPT 09) - Car count was back down a bit this past Saturday, somewhat expected on Labor Day weekend. The eighteen that signed in for GTP, WOMPS, and VINTAGE racing was more than enough to insure a great time! We started with GTP's to allow time for a couple of additional racers to arrive late and still make the WOMP show. We used the "Crazy Lanes" format for GTP and VINTAGE which means we were contantly looking at the "laps averaged" screen between segments to see who was where. Matt Boman started and stayed at the top throughout this main. On his way to a comfortable win over Bill Colvard, he also set fast lap (3.679) and ran best segment (31). Marty Stanley, in his first GTP race at theRaceway in many months, took the final podium position.

TECHNICAL INFO - GTP:
Matt - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS
Bill - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS
Marty - Champion Turbo-Flex/Slotworks Super 16-/Outisight Bentlee HS

We moved over to the oval for WOMPS. By now Steve Bowman had time to get to theRaceway and get a couple of WOMPs ready. One for himself, and another for Danny Dickens who was visiting from Ft. Myers. Danny raced at Halifax years ago and had a box full of stuff, but no WOMPS. We enjoyed having Danny as part of the program and his wife, Chris, was good enough to help out in the turns. We tried - to no avail - to get her to race. She picked up a controller during practice and seemed more than competent! Kenny Holton and Steve Bowman spent equal time at the point with Matt Boman getting there for one segment. Ultimately Steve took the win, Matt was second (but had fast lap (2.140) and best segment (40)), and Bob Rondinone drove around Kenny in the final segment to take third by just a few feet.

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMPS:
Steve- Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Matt - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo
Bob - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. Matt Boman continued his assault by taking his second win of the night with his third fast time/best segment combination (4.163/28). There was a great race for the second spot among Steve Bowman, Bob Rondinone and Bill Colvard. Bill's motor laid down at about halfway and he switched cars taking himself out of the running. Steve got Bob for second, each getting their second podium finishes of the night.

CHOUINARD, RONDINONE, TAWNEY

ALL GET WINS

COCOA, FL (19 SEPT 09) - We enjoyed a healthy car count Saturday night as twenty-eight signed in for WOMP, NOVICE, GTP and VINTAGE RACING. We welcomed two new racers to the program as Jeff and Darrell Bennett found us online (thank you, Google!). There was a raceway at Mills & Virginia in Orlando I owned part of for about a year in the mid 1980's. Jeff and Darrell raced there when they were in elementary school! They now have a successful glass business in Orlando. Jeff mixed it up with the regulars in the WOMP main and they both tried racing on the Hillclimb in the Novice race. They have also made a trip or two to Leesburg, so we expect to see them getting more involved in our hobby in the coming months.

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Terry Tawney made a semi-rare appearance in the WOMP class. He led flag-to-flag, set fast time (2.195) and ran best segment (39). Count Gibson was just six laps back (not very much on our tight little oval) and Steve Bowman edged Bob Rondinone for third by a lap.

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMPS:
Terry - Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Rino Gran Prix
Count- Champion Thumper/Sealed Deathstar/Champion Thunderbird
Steve- Parma Brass/Sealed Deathstar/Parma Monte Carlo

Steven Garrison and Daulton Chouinard put on a great show in the NOVICE main. They stayed on the same lap for the first three segments. Steven had a great segment to lead by four at halfway. Daulton came right back in the fifth to get back on the lead lap. Mechanical gremlins plagued Steven for the rest of the main, but he managed to defend second. Stephanie Garrison completed the podium and set fast lap (4.671). Daulton and Steven shared best segment honors (23)

TECHNICAL INFO - NOVICE:
Daulton - JK Cheetah 7/Falcon-7/Outisight Bentlee HS

Stephanie - JK Cheetah 7/Falcon-7/Outisight Bentlee HS

It was good to see some familiar faces back racing as Spud Grounds and Dane Oliver dropped by to turn some very fast laps. They were the only racers besides Terry Tawney to break four seconds during the main. Terry, as he did in the WOMP main, led every segment, set fast lap (3.679) and ran best segment (31). Dane was second a lap ahead of Steve Bowman.

TECHNICAL INFO - GTP:
Terry - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/37139202.jpg

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. Dane Oliver put together a rocket and led the first segment. Count Gibson took over in the second. Bob Rondinone went to the front in the third and led the rest of the way. Steve Bowman got hooked up at about halfway to take second and his third podium of the night. Dane held on to third and missed fast lap (Bob - 4.273) by only .01 seconds. Count recorded best segment (27).

The GTP main was incredibly tight - for second through fifth positions. Terry Tawney put a lap and a half per segment on the field to win by 13 while running the best segment (32) and becoming the first racer to turn a 3-1/2 second lap during a GTP main. His fast lap was 3.523. Bill Colvard, Dane Oliver and Dave McCabe were all on the same lap for second. Track position gave Bill and Dane second and third respectively. The entire field ran laps at 4 seconds flat, with the top five all going 3.8 or faster.

We had a mixed field of BOX and SPEC 12 cars. Jeff Cox led the Box 12 main wire-to-wire but never by much. He did set fast lap (2.905) and ran best segment (41) but only bettered Kenny Holton by two laps for the win. Terry Tawney had chronic mechanical problems and finished a distant third. Steve Bowman was the best SPEC car and finished third over all and had best SPEC segment (34).

Terry Tawney was just ahead of Bob Rondinone for his second win of the night. Count Gibson was third, his second podium of the night.

COCOA, FL (03 OCT 09) - Only seventeen cars signed in Saturday night for WOMP, GTP, and VINTAGE RACING.

We welcomed another new racer as Melanie Watson participated in the WOMP program. We are expecting a full house this coming Saturday night as several racers from Leesburg are coming to race 4" Stock Cars. Their 4" Stock Cars are basically our VINTAGE cars with a stock car body. Put a Stock Car Body on your VINTAGE racer and we'll race them on the Hillclimb. I'm sure several of them will put VINTAGE bodies and their Stock Cars to race VINTAGE with us. They have also expressed an interest in running GTP. Make sure you're part of the fun this coming Saturday night at theRaceway.biz

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Bill Colvard led the first three segments followed closely by Steve Bowman and Rick Smolka. Steve took the point in the fourth segment as Count Gibson moved to third. Count got by Rick in the fifth for second. Rick was able to hold Bill off for the final podium spot.

A big THANK YOU to Terry Tawney and Oscar Mujica who hung out all evening and marshalled for us. We all hope Oscars hand has healed.

LONG FLORIDA RACING DAY

LARGE FIELD - MANY NEW FACES

MIRACLE MILE UPDATE

COCOA, FL (10 OCT 09) - The day actually started at The Race Place in Holly Hill where we handed out the 2009 My Series awards to the various class champions and raced WOMPS, 4-1/2" Cars, I.R.O.C.s.

Local racer "Mr. Bill" Stuyvenberg took the WOMP win, followed by Dave Bryson and Count Gibson. Cory Borden had fast lap (2.625) and best segment (44).

Dave moved up a spot in the 4-1/2" main taking the win over Terry Tawney, with "Mr. Bill" third. Terry ran fast lap (2.553) and best segment (46).

When all the cars were the same, it was once again "Mr. Bill" at the point.

He took a seven lap I.R.O.C. win over Count Gibson with Jeff Cox completing the podium (not bad for a wing-car guy).. Kenny Holton ran fast lap (3.146) with best segment honors being shared by "Mr. Bill", Count Gibson, Jeff Cox, Cory Borden and George Snyder (37).

It was announced that the Track Owner's planning meeting for the 2010 My Series will be at The Race Place in Holly Hill at noon on Sunday November 1st.

If you are a raceway owner, please plan on attending. If you are a racer who plans on supporting the 2010 My Series, make sure your raceway owner has your suggestions IN WRITING (or you can e-mail them to me).

Tentative schedule for My Series 2010 with all venues "to be determined":
January 9th, February 6th, March 13th, April 10th, and May 8th.

Forty-five entries made the trip to theRaceway.biz for our Saturday night program. The evening included the usual WOMP, GTP, VINTAGE and NOVICE classes as well as the addition of 4" NASCAR/Falcon. We want to say "Welcome" to the following racers who participated in their first weekly program at theRaceway.biz:

Jeff Bennett & Geraldo Rodriquez (Orlando), Mark Ronhock (Claremont), Mark Petronaci (Rockledge), Kevin & Nick Klinger (Ocala), Bobby Beauchemin (Leesburg), Joe Winchell (Dade City), Jason Burnside (Tampa). Some are new racers, some were very experienced racers who chose this past Saturday as their first time to participate in our weekly program. We hope you all had a good time and will come back and visit soon.

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. This was a 9-car round robin affair so we kept an eye on the "laps averaged" screen to see who was where. H.O. racer/part time WOMP & 1/24 racer, Craig Reynolds was at the top of the board for the entire main. Not by much however, as Bill Colvard, driving a C-racer loaner, was only 1-1/2 laps back at the finish. Count Gibson completed the podium. Craig also set fast lap (2.140) and ran best segment (38).

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMPS (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):
Craig - Champion Thumper/Champion Dirt Modified
Bill - Parma Brass/Parma Monte Carlo
Count- Parma Brass/Champion T-Bird

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/14811826.jpg


We then moved over to the Hillclimb to the evening's featured event; 4" NASCAR/Falcon. We separated the large group into two mains with the winner of the "B" advancing to the "A". Bobby Beauchemin led the first segment of the "B". German Candelario took over in the second and kept a solid lead through the sixth. Some bad racing luck resulted in the motor being knocked out of his car. He made the repairs and was able to stay on the podium. Bobby edged John Davis for the win. Bobby shared fast lap (4.546) with German and best segment (25) with John Davis.

TECHNICAL INFO - 4" B-Main (All racers used JK Products Falcon 7 motors):
Bobby - JK - X24/Parma Intrepid
John - Mossetti/JK Toyota
German - JK Cheetah 11/JK Toyota

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/66461826.jpg


In the "A", Steve Bowman led the first segment, then broke his car and fell all the way back. Terry Tawney, Jason Burnside and Count Gibson were tied after the second segment and they all finished on the same lap. Terry got count by 3 inches for the win with Jason two sections back for third. Bobby Beauchemin ran two more laps in the "A" than he did in the "B" to take fourth. Count ran fast lap (4.288) and shared best segment (27) with Terry.

We put the NOVICEs on the track next. This one was all Bob Giles. He took the win, set fast time (4.781) and ran best segment (17). Stephanie Garrison edged her husband Steven for second.

TECHNICAL INFO - NOVICE (All racers used JK Products Falcon 7 motors):

The GTP main was a 10-car round robin affair featuring a very fast field (all the cars ran 3.9 or better). It looked like our WOMP winner Craig Reynolds was going to get a podium in the evenings fastest class as well. In the final segment, Steve Bowman drove around to edge Craig for third. Terry Tawney took the win followed by Matt Boman. Matt and Terry shared best segment (31) and fast lap (3.679). I apologize for not having a photo, it somehow got "lost" between loading into my computer and completing this report.

TECHNICAL INFO - GTP:
Terry - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS
Matt - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS
Steve - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX - ProSlot 700/Outisight Bentlee HS

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. Steve Bowman started fast again, leading the first segment. In the second, he snapped his guide flag (and, no doubt, bent a few things). He wrenched on the car for the rest of the main, but couldn't get back to a podium spot. Bobby Beauchemin ran steady to take the win over Joe Winchell. Jason Burnside got fast at the end of the main; set fast time (4.164) and best segment (27) but it was too little too late as he finished third.

TECHNICAL INFO - VINTAGE (all cars used JK Products Falcon 7 motors):
Bobby - JK Cheetah 11/JK Ti-22

Jason - Champion Turbo-Flex Aluminum/JK Ti-22

ANOTHER LARGE FIELD

MORE NEW FACES

COCOA, FL (17 OCT 09) - It was announced that the Track Owner's planning meeting for the 2010 My Series will be at The Race Place in Holly Hill at noon on Sunday November 1st.

If you are a raceway owner, please plan on attending. If you are a racer who plans on supporting the 2010 My Series, make sure your raceway owner has your suggestions IN WRITING (or you can e-mail them to me).

Tentative schedule for My Series 2010 with all venues "to be determined":
January 9th, February 6th, March 13th, April 10th, and May 8th.

Forty-eight entries made the trip to theRaceway.biz for our Saturday night program. The evening included the usual WOMP, NOVICE, 4" FALCON STOCK CAR, GTP, and VINTAGE classes.

We want to say "Welcome" to the following racers who participated in their first weekly program at theRaceway.biz:
Mike Hooper, Bebo Perez, Samual Rodas (Orlando), John and Jared Cook, David and Freddie Bedford, J.J. Perry (all from the Leesburg area). Some found us through Google, some just moved into the area, and some, of course, we "inherited" from Miracle Mile in Leesburg. We actually had a bigger field than last week, but started closer to on time so we finished an hour earlier than last Saturday night.

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. This was a 10-car round robin affair so we kept an eye on the "laps averaged" screen to see who was where. Count Gibson "dominated" the event winning comfortably, setting fast lap (2.249) and running best segment (35). Bob Giles and Daulton Chouinard (both still considered "Novice" class racers) completed the podium.

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMPS (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):
Count - Parma Brass/Speedville Sprinter
Bob - Parma Steel/Parma Taurus
Daulton - Parma Steel/Champion T-Bird

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/85018093.jpg


We put the NOVICEs on the Hillclimb next. Daulton Chouinard led the first segment and stayed at the top of the "laps averaged" screen the rest of the way. Bob Giles and new racer Mike Hooper finished on the same lap for second with Bob getting the spot on track position. Fast lap was set by another newbie, Bebo Perez at 4.609. Best segment (16) was shared by that foursome.

TECHNICAL INFO - NOVICE (All racers used JK Products Falcon 7 motors):

Next up - 4" NASCAR/Falcon. Bobby Beauchemin stayed unbeaten in this class, taking his second win as many tries. Steve Bowman and John Cook finished on the same lap for second with John having track position. Bobby also set fast lap (4.281) and shared best segment (26) with John, Terry Tawney and Herman Candelario.

In the final segment, Kenny got back on the lead lap and took the win on track position. J.J. stayed second and Steve Bowman got his third podium of the evening. Bobby Beauchemin set fast lap (4.171) and shared best segment (21) with J.J., Kenny and Steve.

WING CARS WILL BE FIRST ON THE SCHEDULE (sorry we didn't get you guys in last Saturday's program). HAVE A GREAT HALLOWEEN - I HOPE WE ENJOY SOME SEASONAL WEATHER!

Forty-five entries signed in for our Saturday night program at theRaceway.biz. The healthy car count necessitated "A" and "B" mains in WOMP, 4" FALCON STOCK CAR, and VINTAGE. We also had a full GTP main making seven races on the evening, and allowing us to award nearly $200 in race prizes.

We want to say "Welcome" to the following racers who participated in their first weekly program at theRaceway.biz: Danny Fox (Ocala), Joan Ronock (Clermont), Chad Newman (Leesburg) and Hank Chouinard (recently moved to Palm Bay from Okeechobee).

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Steven Garrison took a comfortable win in the "B", but didn't exactly dominate the event. He shared best segment honors (32) with first timers Danny Fox and Joan Ronock. Joan ran fast lap (2.413). Danny and Joan were 2nd and 3rd respectively. Joan also took bragging rights back to Clermont as she outran her husband, Marc.

TECHNICAL INFO - WOMP "B" (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):

Danny - Champion Thumper/Parma Vette

The A was a barn burner! Count Gibson led Steve Bowman by as little as one lap and as many as four for the first six segments. Steve took the lead in the seventh only to have Count drive back around in the final 15 seconds of the eighth to take the win. Steve did record best segment (39) and shared quick time (2.249) with Count, John Cook (3rd Place) and Steven Garrison (who moved up from the "B").

TECHNICAL INFO WOMP "A" (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):

Next up - 4" Stock Car/Falcon "A". Bobby Beauchemin has been at the front of this class since we began racing it. This week, he had some company. Bobby managed another win, but John Cook was on the same lap in second. Another Leesburg transplant, Chad Newman, completed the podium.

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. We began with the "B" main. Steven Garrison and Mark Petronaci were on the same lap or only a lap apart for the first six segments. At the end of seven, Steven somehow led by two. Mark got back on the lead lap in the final 90 seconds and took his second win of the evening. Mark and Steven shared best segment (16) with Steven setting fast time (4.773). Stephanie Garrison completed the podium.

http://slotter.lenzus.com/content/22742316/67770284.jpg


Eighteen signed in for WOMP, NOVICE, 4" STOCK CAR and VINTAGE racing. We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Bill Colvard bought a car at the last minute, adjusted a few things (didn't even change gears or rear tires) and led the first segment. Bob Rondinone drove around him in the second segment and stayed just out of reach. Joan Ronock, who was on the "B" podium last week, finished third over all this week! Bob also recorded fast lap (2.250) and best segment (38).

Bill led the first segment, Bob took over in the second and led at the halfway mark. Count Gibson and Matt Boman got to the front in the fifth.

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. New racer Wesley Trenn made his debut among one of the fastest VINTAGE fields we've had. The "regulars" were all running 4.3 or faster so Welsey and Mark Ronock had their own race for "best in class". Wesley won that battle and managed sixth overall. Bobby Beauchemin was sort of a surprise winner by 2-1/2 laps over Terry Tawney. They shared best segment (28) with Bobby getting fast lap (4.171).

TERRY DOES A DOUBLE

BOMAN AND SLOAN ON 3 OF 4 PODIUMS

COCOA, FL (21 NOV 09) - Another "perfect storm" of events around the state kept our turnout low. There was an H.O. race in Land O' Lakes, the Governor's Cup 200 at New Smyrna Speedway, Orlando Speedworld's Night of Fire and, of course, the NASCAR events at Homestead. All drew racers away from the Saturday night program at theRaceway.biz. In spite of all that, twenty-two signed for WOMPS, GTP, BOX-12 & VINTAGE racing.

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Count Gibson led by two laps after the first segment and stayed right there. Matt Boman, Bill Colvard and Phil Sloan all ran second at some point and always by two laps. Phil was there when the power went off with Bill third another two laps back. Phil turned fast lap (2.132) and shared best segment (40) with Bill

We moved over to the Hillclimb for GTP. This was a seven car "crazy lane" round robin so we were watching the laps averaged screen to see who was where. Terry Tawney dominated the event taking a comfortable win, setting fast time (3.726) and running best segment (31). Matt Boman was equally comfortable in second with Kenny Holton third.

BOX-12 cars made an appearance this week. The race featured 6-1/2 very fast cars, but it was only a 5 driver event. Jeff Cox switched bodies after three segments to correct a loose condition (but made sure the race director was aware of the switch) and Kenny Holton switched cars after breaking a rear axle late in the race. Jeff did actually run the most laps, but Matt Boman took the win. Phil Sloan was only three laps back for second with Terry Tawney completing the podium. Matt and Phil shared best segment (38) with Kenny setting fast lap (while still running the car he teched in) at 2.851.

Matt - Koford "Beuf"/Koford-Koford/Outisight Viper

Terry - Zap(?)/Kelly-ProSlot/Outisight Viper

THREE RACES,
THREE WINNERS!

COCOA, FL (28 NOV 09) - We hope everyone had a fun-filled, safe Thanksgiving weekend. Turnout was moderate for our Saturday night show, but we had a full main each of 4" Falcon Stock Cars, Womps and Vintage cars.

We started the racing program on the Oval with WOMPS. Bob Rondinone did everything but win this race. He set fast time (2.086) and ran best segment (40) on his way to a second place finish. Phil Sloan won the race with Matt Boman taking third.

We moved over to the Hillclimb for 4" Falcon powered Stock Cars. For the sake of marshalling, we ran the "crazy lanes" format so the "F8" key kept us current on who was running where. John Cook and Matt Boman were at or near the top of leaderboard as the racers rotated on and off the track. Ultimately, John got the win by two laps and set fast time (4.336). Matt was second and ran best segment (27). Bob Rondinone completed the podium.

TECHNICAL INFO - 4" Falcon Stock Car (all racer used JK Products Falcon 7 motors):

VINTAGE cars completed the evening. This was another "crazy lanes" race. Bobby Beauchemin, Bob Rondinone and Phil Sloan were tied after the first segment. Bob rotated off leaving Phil and Bobby tied after two. Those three were joined at the top of the "laps averaged" screen by John Cook and Matt Boman. At the end of the race, Bobby took a comfortable win over John Cook. Phil Sloan just edged Matt Boman for the final podium spot. Bobby dominated the event by also setting fast lap (4.218) and running best segment (28).

SIX RACES, SIX WINNERS!

"DRESS REHEARSAL" FOR THE MODIFIEDS


COCOA, FL (05 DEC 09) - Thirty-three cars signed in for WOMPS, MODIFIEDS, GTP, 4" FALCON STOCK CAR, and NOVICE racing Saturday night. Nineteen of the thirty-three were WOMPS and MODIFIEDS.

The strong WOMP turnout allowed us to split the field into Amateur and Experienced mains. We started with the Amateurs. Stephanie Garrison led after the first segment. Mike Hooper led Stephanie by a lap after the second and stretched it out from there. Joan Rohnock, who had a dismal 7-lap first segment, drove all the way back to second while setting fast time (2.249) and running best segment (37). Stephanie was able to stay third.

TECHNICAL INFO AMATEUR WOMP (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):
Mike - Champion Thumper/Parma Corvette
Joan - Champion Thumper/Champion T-Bird
Stephanie - Parma Brass/Rino T-Bird

In the Experienced class, for the second week in a row, Bob Rondinone did everything but win this race. He shared fast time (2.077) with Matt Boman and ran best segment (41) on his way to a fourth place finish. Steve Bowman came on late to take the win. Bill Colvard and Matt Boman were on the same lap for 2nd/3rd with Bill having track position.

TECHNICAL INFO EXPERIENCED WOMP (all racers used Parma Sealed Deathstar 16-D motors):

Bill - Champion Thumper/Rino Monte Carlo
Matt - Champion Thumper/Parma Taurus

Although the first race for the MODIFIEDS was scheduled for the December 19th C-RACER/GROSS-1 SHORT TRACK WOMP CHALLENGE, the cars have been selling well and we had a six racers with new cars ready to try them out. This turned out to be the closest race of the night with only two laps separating first from third. Bob Rondinone led early, Phil Sloan led the most and Bill Colvard took his turn at the point when it counted. Phil set fast time (1.804) and ran best segment (32), but Bill took the win with Bob third. All racers used JK Products Cheetah-7 F-1/MODIFIED chassis, Falcon-7 Motors, and JK's new East Coast Modified Bodies (.010 thick)

GTP cars were up next. This was a very good race for the first six and a half segments. Terry Tawney and Matt Boman stayed very close, both racers putting in big segments and blisteringly fast lap times. Terry broke a guide flag late eliminating his chance for the win. Matt not only took the win, but dominated turning fast lap (3.679) and best segment (32). Rick Smolka, in a rare GTP appearance, took second with Terry somehow managing to stay third.

Rick - JK Cheetah 11/SpeedFX Super 16-D/Outisight Bentlee HS

It's always encouraging to have a NOVICE race! This week, Wesley Trenn made it look easy. Although Daulton Chouinard matched him for best segment (18) and was just off fast time (4.452), Wesley took a very comfortable win as everyone else (including Daulton) had mechanical problems during the race. Daulton stayed second with Stephanie Garrison taking third.

TECHNICAL INFO - NOVICE:
Wesley - JK Cheetah 7/SpeedFX Sealed Super 16-D/Outisight Mercedes
Daulton - JK Cheetah 7/JK Falcon 7/Outisight Bentlee HS

We finished up the evening with 4" Falcon powered Stock Cars. For the sake of marshaling, we ran the "crazy lanes" format so the "F8" key kept us current on who was running where. Terry Tawney put together a very solid run for the win while running best segment (27) and sharing fast lap with Phil Sloan (4.390). Count Gibson edged Matt Boman for second.

In spite of the healthy car count and running six races, we were able to get everyone on the road home by 11-ish and nearly $120 in race prizes was distributed among the field.

Remember December 19th is the date for the 2nd Annual $200 C-RACER/GROSS-1 SHORT TRACK WOMP CHALLENGE. WOMPS headline the event, but 4-1/2" Stock Cars will be raced and it will be the debut event of the new JK EAST COAST MODIFIEDS!
