Some round 2 photos

Ken Miele · 05-19-2019, 09:24 AM

Good morning everyone, its going to be another hot one today with temps in the low 90's. The 4 round of sportsman wont happen until after the second round of the pros. I'm still in, so I may not able to get more photos or reports until the end of the day.

A few more shots from yesterdays action....

Thanks Ken and good luck...8:50’s on a 9 inch tire has to be a rush.

Know you were busy today, but nice shot of the wheetstanding Camaro. You are definitely getting better. Hope to get up north for a divisional this summer.

I can't take the credit on that one Butch, it was Evan Smith, he is the pro, I just act like one...lol.

Guys I'm really beat, I do have photos from today's action and will post them tomorrow. Its a 6 hour drive home and I just want to chill a little.

My last round almost ended in a wreck, the loss was no big deal but my steering wheel came off at the 60 foot clock. I grabbed the splines with my hands but it was wobbling so bad I could not steer it. I finally just locked the breaks at what I thought was a safe speed and dodged a bullet, I think I was a foot from the wall. All that and with a ton of electrical issues the whole race, I was happy to get to the semi's. I felt so bad for Alley, she was .004 red and I was .065 red and spun to boot. They should change the software to make it the worst red light, I did not deserve to go to the next round.

I will post tomorrow, thanks everyone for supporting Class Racer.

Is that the 69 Camaro that Bertozzi use to own doing that massive wheelstand?

I don't know what happened, Jack. You helped me(in tear down) when you barely knew me. I appreciate it.

Anthony still owns the car, he owns it, Joe shoes it (and does very well with it)
