Yeah- yeah , I know -where have I been ? Right here and I've been busy - Class racing is not dead - not just yet here in the Northeast and today's racing proved it .The class racing today ranked right up there with Indy or the like . Classes like B/SA with eleven entries proved to be a marathon .The early leaders in the class turned out to not be the trophy takers .Jim Boudreau was the class of the field and went thru it like a knife thru butter .....until the final - and a slighly worse light than his opponent was his undoing - Robbie Hudlow ended up with the B/SA hardware and he earned it -and did I menton his perfect light ? AA/SA looked like it was going to another Ficcaci - this time dad Steve ( who was driving Anthony Bongiovanis' new Cobra Jet ) broke a trans and that let the final to our own Ken Miele in his old school Cobra Jet against the ice cream man - Dave Thomas in his Viper powered Challenger and Ken just didn't have enough to stay with him .

And how about the stick singles trophy going to Todd Hoven driving Truman Fields' D/S '68 Firebird over Don Fizells '08 Cobra Jet who spun .And it was no cake walk for him as the round before he had to put out the always tough Adam Strang with a 10.56.And how about poor Eddie Fernandez who had to settle for the singles automatic runner-up when he just didn't have the muscle in the final against Richard Eepprecht in his '94 Caprice v-6 mini LTI .It was almost the little train that could .
