Regional #3 round 4-5

[Bruce]

We will be at T-hill again and will get a bonus race. 2 for the price of 1. At our track this will be a definite bargain. my 4into1essment is that we will double the field. See you there.

Just a little reminder. Friday is the entry deadline.

thanks Bruce! What happened Rick in the second race?

[Bruce]

Race 1
Rick started from pole with Blake, Dick, Dave M., Larry, Dave U., Ron, Brian following. Dick fell out with a broken throttle cable. Blake took the lead and held it until he had a slight off and hit a burm, losing slight tire pressure, allowing Rick to get by and go on for the win. these two were nose to tail the entire race. Dave stayed clean and took third. The next three were fighting it out for fourth. Dave held off Ron and Larry who were 5th and 6th.
Al Olinger did not run, was not too sure about his trailing arms. His motor was run in Ron Wake's car since Ron's engine lost oil and seized. The unluckiest driver has to be Will Maller as he too lost oil and his second engine in 2 races.

Race 2
Rick started from pole again, but this time Blake had a great start and was able to put 4 or 5 fords between him and the field. He went on to win, but there were some events behind him that had definite ramifications on the outcome of the race. Rick, Dick and Dave were contesting for second. Rick and Dave came together at turn 8. Dave retired, Rick spun 2 or 3 times sustained damage, but was able to finish with some damage to his car. Dick Gordon Spun out from his second spot and reentered in front of both Dave Ullstrom and Ron Wake, both of whom were able to avoid him. Dave U. finished 2nd with Dick and Ron following. There was an incident at the beginning of the race at the crow's nest that involved Pat McDowell, Kevin Gordon and Dan Phipps. Dan was the only retirement with damage to his front end. Dave Schrady got through and stayed out of trouble.
