"Live" from Hagerstown,MD - Lee Sherman Memorial Stock/Super

Jack Matyas · 11-04-2011, 09:22 PM

Today after a easy ride down Route 81 thru Pennsylvania into Maryland I arrived at the very pretty facility - Mason-Dixon Dragway .What a perfect time for a race - cool crisp air combined with the Fall folliage changing colors .

And did I mention my shadow coming here? Best as I tell my friend - Marc La Brecquec- has not had enough racing this year yet because it was pretty easy to talk him into coming here and its no short tow from New England to here .Hope he enjoys this weekend 'cause Monday he'll pay for it .And after 15 or so inches of snow last weekend you'd think he would just stay home and rest ......nah ! !

I'm told this is the 17th annual Lee Sherman Memorial race .....and for those of us who knew Lee .......well , I just hope he's watching as he'll surely enjoy the show both days .We still miss you buddy .

Tommorow we'll have race one and some great test n tune for Sunday .......stay tuned .

Jack - Looking forward to your reports. Please say 'hi' to Marc for me as well. I hope you all have a safe and prosperous weekend. (That goes for the Bender clan as well!).

What a day ! ! Everyone got a chance at three or more time runs before first round - then the action came and has been going on for a few hours now and we're down to two cars - young Bobby Fazio in his mid ninties Mustang pure Stocker and Ken Robinson in his trustty 68 Camaro D/SA.......

Good luck to Bobby Fazio!

Jack Matyas · 11-05-2011, 06:13 PM

In the end its NewJerseys' Ken Robinson taking the win with a dead-on 11.08........Fazio put up a good fight but ran out trying to stay ahead -- well done to both racers .

Later I'll post a bunch more pictures bur for now its off to the Crazy Horse Saloon for a good steak and some even better bench racing ................
