First:
Well, this writer was looking forward to this coming weekend when OCFS has its opening night on Saturday. However, being it’s April, and there‘s such a thing as “April showers” – well, maybe Mother Nature might put a “damper” on the activities for Saturday. Damn!
Actually, as of noontime on Tuesday, there’s a forecast for showers every day up to and including next Tuesday.
And, as of almost midnight on Wednesday, it’s improved a lot for Friday and Saturday. Of course TV weather says maybe into the 70’s by Monday – of course!
Friday: Mostly cloudy skies. High
53F. Winds light and variable.
Saturday: Mostly cloudy. Highs in the low 50s and lows in the low 40s.
Second:
Some coming up items:

The
21st annual Vintage Open Wheel Race Car meet will be on May 17, 18

I don’t know – maybe it’s just me, but even though I’ve
had some “lame” – to me – anyway, excuses as to why the National Midget Auto
Racing Hall of Fame’s website isn’t up to date, it’s pretty hard seeing that
their last “newsletter” that is on their website is from the fall of 2008. That’s the Newsletter that makes mention of
Kevin Doty, Jeff Gordon, Dave Humphrey, Ted Tappett, and others being inducted
into their

Fourth:
Last Saturday, there was a practice session scheduled for
OVRP’s Dirt Oval. Unfortunately, things
didn’t go to well, and they had to cut the session short and also cancel the
practice session for Bikes & Quads that was shceduled for this past Sunday,
too.
The track has posted this, on one of the forums I
frequent:
“We would like to start by apologizing
for the track conditions on Saturday April 2nd. We did not forsee the track
being so soft, otherwise we would have cancelled
earlier in the day.
We are going to have a non-points race on Saturday April 9th, regular time are
in effect.
All the people that were there this past weekend will receive a discount for
this coming weekend ONLY. I have kept tracked of all the people that were in
attendance, so no wristbands are needed to receive the discount. Once again, we
are sorry.”
Fifth:
While checking out things on the Track Forum, I came
across a thread about former race driver, the late Mike Mosley. One thing that was said was this: “Only twice in
champ car history, has a driver started dead last, and won. It was
Mosley.......both times.”
If you’re
interested in reading more about this driver, go here:

Sixth:
After the Cup race
this past Sunday at Martinsville, when they interviewed Dale Earnhardt, Jr. –
did you happen to notice how “out of it” he seemed? Like he was just drained.
Seventh:
I imagine you’ve
received these “money” e-mails, similar to this, right?
“There
are several unusual things about the year 2011, and
they happen in every 823 Years. According to Chinese Feng Shui,
these particular years are known as Moneybags.
1.
In 2011 we have experienced and are going to experience four unusual dates:
1/1/11,
1/11/11, 11/1/11, 11/11/11.
2.
Take the last two digits of the year in which you
were born. Then add the age you will be this year. The result
will be 111 for everyone.
(For example -
Harry was born in 1957, and 57 + 54 = 111 )
3. In October 2011, there will be 5
Sundays, 5 Mondays and 5 Saturdays.
This happens only every 823 years.
These
particular years are known as 'Moneybags'. If you send this message to
eight
good friends, money will appear in the next
four days as
is explained in Chinese feng-shui.”
Well,
how about this:
April
has five Fridays Saturdays and Sundays
May has five Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays
July
has five Fridays Saturdays and Sundays
August
has five Mondays Tuesdays and Wednesdays
October
has five Saturdays Sundays and Mondays
December
has five Thursdays Fridays and Saturdays
January
2012 has five Sundays Mondays and Tuesdays
Actually,
if you notice - all months that have 31 days have three days that
have five during those months.
Eighth:
When
we were watching the Nationwide race from
Ninth:
From last weeks column:
"When they have opening night at OCFS
on April 9th, the Pro Stock feature will be for 20 laps and the winner will get
$400.00"
Well, there have been some changes:
“Mr Gurda said any legal dirt Hoosier pro
stock tire opening night.”
And:
“Now its 500 to win. Here’s
the top 5 pay out!
1st- $500
2nd- $200
3rd- $150
4th- $125
5th- $100”
Tenth:
On
Tuesday, April 5th, at around 11:45 AM, it was announced that Donald
Trump would be the pace car driver for this years Indy 500. In a way, I was hoping for someone more
involved in auto racing to land that job.
The pace car will be a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro convertible. Mr. Trump did say that chances are pretty
good that he’d wear a hat while driving.
And, yes, he did say that he does have a license to drive.
Note: This is the 100th anniversary and
95th running of the Indy 500.
In a way, I was hoping that there would be someone a little more
associated with auto racing as the pace car driver. If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Trump will only be
driving the pace car for the initial start.
After that, I believe Johnny Rutherford takes over. I could be wrong on that, too.

Received the following in an e-mail this past Tuesday:

Dirt Midget Association
Schedules Five Races at Bear Ridge
BY MARK McKEON
“We’re thrilled that Bear Ridge is
taking us in,” said DMA member Skip Matczak. “Butch Elms is a racer’s
racer and we appreciate his confidence in our efforts. We have 19 cars
registered so far and we’re looking forward to putting on a great show for the
fans at Bear Ridge.”
The DMA is in its first season of
presenting traditional, non-winged Midget auto racing and evolved from the Quad
4 Midgets which ran at Whip City Speedway for the last several years.
Three members of the New England Auto Racers Hall of Fame are active in the
DMA. In
addition to car owner Matczak, Hall of Famers Denny Zimmerman and Ray Miller will be
racing the full DMA schedule this year. Zimmerman is a former Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year and Miller is former
winner of the Thompson 300, a three time winner of the
In addition to trying his hand back
behind the throttle, Miller will be fielding two additional cars. “I really want to do
everything I can to support this group,” Miller says. “We had a setback when
Big Daddy’s closed and
Among those joining Zimmerman and
Miller behind the wheel of a DMA Midget are former Empire Super Sprints star Scott Holcomb, 2010 Whip City
Champion Joe Krawiec and 30 time Quad 4 Midget feature winner Scott Viets.
The first DMA show at Bear Ridge
Speedway is set for Saturday May 28, with additional Saturday
shows on June 18, July 16, August 20 and September 10. Nationally known as “The
Home of the Coupes” Bear Ridge Speedway is the only track in
DMA is currently negotiating with
other venues and additional dates may be announced soon. For more information,

Thirteenth:
There’s been a
purse increase at the Accord Speedway for their Spec Sportsman class. $500.00 to win if they get
a 20-car field.
While on the
subject of Accord, when they had a practice session last Saturday, I was told
that there were some CRSA 305 Sprint cars on hand. There’s been some talk amongst some CRSA
members about the possibility of maybe running a show or two without
wings. None of the CRSA cars at Accord
ran topless. Would have been a perfect
time to try it out, maybe?

PRESS RELEASE FOR
XCEL CHASSIS 600 SERIES
XCEL CHASSIS UPS ANTE FOR 2011 TOUR SERIES
“The series has expanded so much for the 2011 season so to be able to add
incentives for teams running the tour series this year is a sweet deal”,
explained series owner and promoter Doug Borger, “Three tracks signed on over
the winter. Lindas Speedway will run the 600 mods as a weekly division on
Friday nights, Borgers Speedway will run the sportsman division on Saturday
nights and Kutztown Fairgrounds has added the sportsman division to their
weekly Wednesday night events.”
Over the fourth of July weekend, 5 to 6 teams plan on coming east from
“One
of the biggest positives coming from the 2010 season was paying $20.00 for
every heat race win so I decided to run the same program this year with the
final check issued at the banquet. New for the 2011 season will be a team
receiving a new RR tire at the end of each tour race”, stated Doug,”
after tech is completed and the finish deemed official, the nights feature
winner will then pull a pill and the driver that finished in that
position gets the tire. The winner of the feature will also be eligible to win
making him one lucky guy or girl for that night. I gave it a lot of
thought and this will give everybody a chance to take home something extra that
night.”
The Xcel Chassis tour division is one of the few that pay money thru the entire
field at nights end and with economics being a factor threw out the racing
community it has to make you wonder” Does the future of racing need to get
smaller to get bigger?”
Fifteenth:
Go back in time
– back to when we first started getting cable TV. Weren’t we told that with cable we’d have no
commercials? What happened to that? Now we get bombarded with them – 10 at a
time. Oh, and another thing – let the TV
stations absorb the cost of their newscasts.
No commercials during the news!

Johnson
apologizes for questioning pit road penalty: #48-Jimmie Johnson apologized on Tuesday for
ripping NASCAR for what he believed to be a bogus speeding penalty on pit road
Sunday at Martinsville Speedway. Johnson called out the governing body during
his post-race interview and again on Twitter after the penalty left him with an
11th-place finish that left him one short of tying the NASCAR record for the
most consecutive top-10 finishes at 18. On Tuesday, Johnson said he was
mistaken, that the timing segment that NASCAR accused him of speeding through
was different from what he believed during the race. "The fact is we were
wrong," Johnson said. "I was referring to a segment I knew I couldn't
get busted in. At the end of the day it wasn't the segment we were busted
on." Johnson said he shouldn't have made the comments without all the
correct information, although he said NASCAR could take care of misinformation
by making pit road speeds instantly available for drivers and fans to see.
NASCAR says it has no plans to do that.(ESPN.com)(4-5-2011)
Note: My thoughts – Uh huh, ok, Jimmie. Yeah, right.
Might Mr. Helton have had a few words with Jimmie?

Franek finished 6th in the 358 Sprint Car feature at the Selinsgrove

There’s
a Jeffrey Gallup listed as finishing 13th in the SK Modified feature
at the Waterford Speedbowl. I’m not sure
if that’s the same Jeff Gallup that ran at OVRP and also in the Tobias SpeedSTR
Series.

News from the
AARN:
From
their March 29th issue:
Some
excellent photos from the previous week end of racing, as usual. It’s hard to believe some of the shots that
were taken at New Egypt, though. I guess
a rough track will make the cars get into the positions they were in?
There
will be no “Big Show III” for 2011.
Brett Hearn was looking at some different tracks to maybe hold it, but
the tracks he was looking at were American Racer tire tracks, and the SDS
Series is Hoosier tire only.
The
end results of a driver going a little “haywire” at the I-80 Speedway, in
Nebraska, resulted in his being sentenced to 18 months probation after being
found guilty of 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief. Seems he drove across the infield and
intentionally hit another driver.

being in late April at the Lernerville Speedway.

find it hard to believe but the TBARA Sprint Car Series only has three dates
for 2011?
Danny
Lasoski – it’s said his 2011 plans are still not defined.
There
was a nice article about Glenn “Fireball” Roberts in the AARN. Hard to believe that he was never a NASCAR
“Cup” champion.
Steve
Francis, one of the top LM divers for WRG, is leaving the WRG to run with the
Lucas Oil LM Series.
Speaking
of the WRG – they have added another series to their roster – the National
Championship Racing Association. That
makes 10 different series that are now under the WRG banner.
An
article about some lost tracks from the area made mention of the Challenger
Raceway. It started out as a ¼ mile
track then went to 4/10 or I guess you could say 2/5? Owner Jack Lentz closed the track after some
incidents at a “Fall Fest” race meet, when several accidents and lawsuits came
up after the 2008 Fall Fest. The track
is for sale, and it’s said that there is some interest from some about possible
buying it.
They’ve
had 179 USAC race meets at the Eldora Speedway since 1962, Over the years they’ve had 69
different winners. Jack Hewitt leads
with 13 wins. Larry Dickson is next with
9, while Tracy Hines and Pancho Carter each have 8 wins.
Gary
London, a writer for the now out of business National Speed Sport News (out of
business as far as printing their race paper goes), sent in a nice article to
the AARN describing his time with the NSSN.
Some nice things said about his boss, Chris Economaki.

Foreclosure
mess:
The other night, by accident, the wife put on 60 Minutes. Shocking, to say the least. It was about the mortgage mess.
In
part:
“Weve
told
you before about how big banks cut corners on paperwork over the last few
years in order to speed struggling homeowners into foreclosure. And a "60
Minutes" report that aired last night offers fresh anecdotal reporting on
just how irresponsible--and potentially fraudulent--the banks' practices were.”
“And
as the foreclosures unwind in a slew of court proceedings nationwide, many
banks have produced dubiously rendered legal documents that seek to shore up
the ownership paperwork long after the original mortgage transactions were on
the books. In some cases, financial institutions paid contract companies who
employed an army of "robo-signers"—office workers who forged
signatures on mortgage documents that were then used to initiate foreclosures.”
Lots
more, plus a video from 60 Minutes, can be read and seen if you go here:

Alas, where has all our innocence gone – part 2:
On
the way back from a Cub Scout meeting, my grandson innocently said to my son, 'Dad, I know babies
come from mommies' tummies, but how do they get there in the first
place?' After my son hemmed and hawed awhile, my
grandson finally spoke up in disgust, 'You don't have to make up something,
Dad. It's okay if you don't know the answer.'
Just before I was deployed to
Paul Newman founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children stricken
with cancer, AIDS, and blood diseases. One afternoon, he and his wife, Joanne
Woodward, stopped by to have lunch with the kids. A counselor at a nearby
table, suspecting the young patients wouldn't know Newman was a famous
movie star, explained, That's the man who made this camp possible. Maybe you've
seen his picture on his salad dressing bottle?' Blank
stares. 'Well, you've probably seen his face on his lemonade
carton.' An eight-year-old girl perked up.
'How long was he missing?'
and my personal favorite is...........God's Problem Now:
His wife's graveside service was just barely finished, when there
was a massive clap of thunder, followed by a tremendous bolt of
lightning, accompanied by even more thunder rumbling in the distance.
The little, old man looked at the pastor and calmly said,
'Well, she's there.'
May “Guardian Angels” sit on the shoulders of all of our race drivers
and race fans, and guide them safely around the tracks!
Drive safe!
