Congrats Joe Urbino - TNT Hot Rod - Lancaster - RESULTS

Ted Barnes · 08-02-2007, 04:10 PM

Joe?s Transmission TNT Hot Rod Super Series has crowned yet another new champion! Joe Urbino of Alden NY marched from the #2 qualifying position all the way to the Winner?s Circle on Sunday July 29 ? And to the top of the TNT points standings!

They are called the ?sharp shooters of drag racing? ? the IHRA Hot Rod competitors. Their task is to take aim at 7.00 and hit it bang on. And hit it they did! You want to know how stout the field was that day? With a density altitude in the 3000? range and after 2 qualifying sessions, FIVE of the 26 cars in competition had laid down 7.00 passes! Joe was solidly in the second spot with a 7.001. Doug Lynden of Fredonia and his perfect 7.000 landed him the #1 qualifier bonus ? a $50 certificate from Hoosier Tire Canada!

Joe contended in both Box ET and Hot Rod. ?We had a trans brake issue all day,? said Joe. ?The car wouldn?t stay in the stage beam. I got auto-started in the Box race and it happened again in the final of Hot Rod, except in happened before the other guy staged so I was able to bump back in. The key round was in the semi?s against Barry Lingle. I had him on the tree but did a bad job at the stripe and gave it back to him by .008. Fortunately for us, he broke out by .001!?

In the Hot Rod final, he faced a tough competitor - Marc Caruso from Fairport NY. Unfortunately for Marc, a .497 red-light ended his day (6.881 at 114mph) and Joe went on to victory running 7.047 at 98mph with a .574 light.

The points chase now has Jamie Stoneman and Joe Urbino tied for first place with Ted Barnes a close second. Rounding out the top 5 are Ray Martino and Marc Caruso.

Joe wants to thank his family?wife Kim, daughters Jessica & Julia and his 8 month old son Joey. And of course Louie?s Car Clinic Inc. for keeping everything in tune.

The TNT Super Series presented by Joe?s Transmission is based on IHRA?s 10.90 Hot Rod class. The 6 race series pays round money STARTING WITH FIRST ROUND WINS and has only two exceptions to the IHRA rulebook ? No weight minimum and left-hand drive open-bodied cars are allowed.
