Wayne Barlock starting
from the inside front row took off at the drop of the green flag and won the
twenty five lap feature by a few car lengths over Kyle Ray, Kyle Clegg, Corey
Seip and David Hondel. This feature race went green, white and checker. It was
a very good race and congratulations to all sixteen drivers who made the trip
to Big Country to race with the RMLRA. Terry Plummer took home the Trophy Dash
win and Wayne Barlock and L. Scotty Scott won heat races. Corey Seip had the
top qualifying time, with a 14.042. The top eight cars in qualifying were
separated by 0.251. The feature winner Barlock did not qualify for the Trophy
Dash. It is the only one he has missed this season. Federal tires are still
trying to be figured out with the handling problems that come with them.
Several drivers continue to use up the BF Goodrich tires that are in there
possession. Sooner or later they will be gone and those who have been trying to
figure out this new tire should be on page two while the others look at page
one hoping to find the set up for the Federal tires. The track cooled down
after a hot afternoon of timing, and the cars were hooked up and ran strong in
the twenty five lap feature
Corey Seip the top
qualifier last night pulled out on the track last night for the Trophy Dash
only to have his #7 Legend pushed off the track when the engine quit running.
Electrical wiring problems were found and Corey started the feature and
finished fourth. Pete Dellarco’s #13 sat in the pits with electrical problems
last night and with half the crews in the Pits the trouble was found and it
also had to do with the electrical system of the engine. Pete finished tenth in
the feature.
Friday nights racing at
Hwy 92 was limited to four cars as several cars that indicated they would be
there, had to with draw from making the trip. Kyle McCartney swept the racing
with a Trophy Dash win, heat race and the fifteen lap feature due to only four
cars starting. Phil Peconi, Terry Plummer and Chris Cooper were the four cars
that made the trip to race. Also information coming out of Gering, the Country
Kitchen that was our gathering spot after the races has been closed and the
group met at Shari’s on Friday night for bench racing and food. Legend Racing
will return to Hwy 92 on Friday, August 3rd. This will be a part of
the Rocky Mountain Classic which runs three days and will award all RMLRA
drivers one hundred points towards the point’s championship for 2010.
It was good to see Gary
Kopp back out on the track and many weeks being down for repairs to his # 4
Legend car. Brittany Duncan will leave
for college this week as she heads to the University of Northern Colorado. Wayne Barlock will also be heading out to
Colorado University for his education. Anybody else heading to college please
contact me. I also had the opportunity to talk with Ken MacEwen from Ft. Collins yesterday and they are
looking at joining the Legend racing program next season. His son Cole has been
on the track at PPIR test driving the Legend race car this summer.
Racing will return to Big
Country next weekend and then a weekend off before the three day weekend of the
Rocky Mountain Classic. Bob Peck will fill in as the Raceceiver Official next
Saturday night.
