Cuddebackville, NY This past weekend at the Dirt Oval was quite an exciting night, bringing
some of the fastest laps of the season, lots of wrecks, make up races, and even
some rain when there was only a 10% chance of it happening!
With the entire make
up features to finish up, the karts and slingshots ran more laps than normal.
More laps with the sun beating down on the track keep it dry and rock hard made
for a lot of grip. This really showed in the senior classes as most of the
leaders were running in the low 14 second bracket and some high 13s as you
will see below. The only downside to the track conditions being the way they
were was the dust or marbles outside of the groove. Unfortunately for some
drivers, they got caught in some hard wrecks due to dust. Jared Miller and I
believe Brandon McGill was caught up in the same wreck in Junior 1 coming off
of turn 4. I know Jared hit really hard so I hope he is alright and back racing
next week! Vito Sr., Bob Clark, and I were running in Senior Animal and all got
caught in the same wreck off of turn 2. Most of the drivers were happy though
because they still prefer the dry dusty conditions over a wet track!
Right as it was
almost completely dark outside you could hear the R word spreading around the
pits as a really dark cloud was coming over the track. Even with a 10% chance
of rain, Mother Nature still made an appearance at the track. Luckily the track
was so hard and dry that it only took a few minutes to run it back in. In fact
it was dry enough that the first class on the track (Heavys) after the rain was
already kicking up some dust.
Dont forget about
the track photographers! Ralph and Becky are still there weekly taking photos.
You can view Beckys photos at www.bkphotos.net.
Remember she does NOT want her photos taken from the website and posted
on myspace, facebook, etc. When you purchase a picture from her, ask her for a
copy for myspace and Im sure you can get one. Ralphs photos will be on www.newenglandtractor.com/racereport
usually on Mondays!
