Eliminations

In round one of eliminations Lee Street faced off against Gene Collier.  Gene's prestage light was malfunctioning which may have been a factor in Gene red-lighting giving the win to Lee who ran a 6.702 at 106.37.  Next up were Olliver Frey and Damon Harmon.  In an awesome matchup, Olly ran a 6.303 to Damon's 6.302, but Olly also got a holshot giving him the win.  Denis Elliot was next up, but as he pulled into the water box, he was waved off by the tower.  The tree had shut down completely this time, and they needed to reset it.  After several hours of attempts to get things running again, and even an attempt at re-installing their old tree which they pulled out of storage, the track folks finally gave up and the race was called.  Points were awarded for rounds run and the purse was split among those who were still in the running when the mechanical failure occured.

I get by with a little help from my friends

One of the best parts of this race was watching how despite our sometimes heated debates over rules, schedules and so forth, when any of us finds ourselves in trouble, we can count on our friends to be there to lend a hand.  The first example of this in Roxboro was when the fuel pump on the Skaggs racing team truck died just as it rolled into the track Saturday night.  A couple of phone calls were made to people on other teams who were still on their way in and a search was on for the parts to get things going again.  Sunday morning, as soon as the parts store opened, Warren had the parts in hand and everything was good to go before the track morning curfew was lifted. (Roxboro requests that no one starts their race cars before noon on Sunday out of respect for a nearby church.)  The next person who found himself in need was Olly who decided to make the most of the downtime and switch engines, but found himself in need of a connector to finish the job.  While Olly, Helmut, Jeremy, and a few others worked to get things together on the mechanical side, a multi-team search party went through the pits looking for the missing piece.  Eventually Jeremy put down the wrenches and joined the search party just in time to find it.  A couple more tweaks and the Frey racing team was back in business.  Then, Damon found himself in need of a quick transmission swap, and again people from other teams jumped in to make sure there were enough hands to get the job done.  Then Lee Street lost his clutch bearing, and he and his crew cheif Van found themselves on the receiving end of some much needed help to get the engine pulled and back in during the last round of qualifying.  This type of sportsmanship emphasizes the real reason we're all here: racing and friendship.

Thanks to all who attended, and we look forward to seeing everyone again next month in Piedmont.

Thunder Valley Volks Rally Results

The success of the first ever Thunder Valley Volks Rally was an opportunity for our drivers to see first hand one of the finest racing venues in the country, and for the track to get a taste of what professional VW racing has to offer.  Unfortunately, the success of this event was met by some harsh opposition and despite a great effort to overcome the inaugural event stigma that has plagued so many events before it, mother nature stepped in and upheld the curse.  Saturday, though the forcast had called for the possibility of scattered showers, there was hardly a cloud in the sky as the first of the cars took to the staging lanes.  Some high winds however made many wonder how the cars would behave, especialy the pro stocks and pro mods.  The cars took the field though and the first round of the quick shootout qualifying went off smooth as silk.  The pro stocks however followed with a nail biting start as ECPRA driver Tay Woykowski got loose on the top end and smacked the wall hard.  Tay was shaken, but not injured.  The fastback however suffered heavy damage and had to be carted off the track.  The track was inspected, cleaned, and prepped and the drivers met to decide if maybe the wind had been a factor, and to decide if we should call the event.  A talk with Tay calmed some of our fears about the wind, but just to be sure, ECPRA Vice President Gene Collier suited up and ran his trusty blue ghia down the track.  A call from the top end confirmed that the top end was a little loose, but he did not believe the wind was a significant safety concern, and the pro stock race was back on.  In the quick shootout class, ECPRA newcomer Brannon Young made a strong showing at his home track, qualifying first and winning the class against runner up Dale Adams.  In pro stock, it was Olliver Frey who turned in the best time of the day running a strong 6.21 ET @ 110.8 mph.  But that would turn out to be all for the pro stocks this weekend.  On Sunday morning the temperature took a sharp downward turn, and the winds remained strong as they had been on Saturday.  If traction had been a concern on Saturday, Sunday proved to be much worse.  Then to make matters worse, clouds began rolling in promising rain was on its way.  A vote was made and the drivers determined that it would be unsafe for them to continue the race.  A meeting was held with Bristol Dragway Managers Brandon Cross and Jack Cocklin and the pro stock portion of the event was cancelled.  The bracket racers who stuck out the cold were combined into one class, and wrapped up eliminations just before the rain came in.  Those who have been there know what an awesome venue Thunder Valley is, and we all believe this has the potential to be a huge event.  I'd like to personally thank Brandon, Jack, Wes, and all of the Bristol Dragway staff for everything they put into this event.

Also, thanks to Tiffany Skaggs who did a great job of capturing the event here.
