LUCAS OIL SLICK MIST SLM 75: The 17-car field
had a ten-car inverted start with fastest qualifier
Rod Johnson, Jr starting outside row five and Joe Deguevara
on the pole after qualifing 10th.
Joe and Dennis qualified back to back 10 th and 11 th
thats all these 2 barrel carb cars have, we are up against 4 barrel cars.
Both drivers did a great job driving and both cars had different
problems by the end of the 75 lap race, Joe had a very tight car
and it would not turn in the center of the corner and Dennis had the
opposite problem and his car was loose in the center and turned
too fast, with 2 races done so far were beginning to figure out
what these cars like and dont like, we will get better with more
races run.
The InfernoMotorsports cars are the fastest of all the 2 barrel cars
running at the speedway with the top 9 cars all on 4 barrel carbs.
We have asked the track to give all the 2 barrel cars an additional
weight break since we can not compete with the bigger carburetors.
we will see what happens with that request.
Thompson gradually increased his lead to 20-yards (1.231 seconds)
at the finish. Partridge held on to his "handful" Eshleman
Racing No. 33 for second place. Jason Patison finished third, 1.403
back. Race Liberante, was fourth, 1.617 seconds behind the winner.
Furden placed fifth, 7,825 back. Joe DeGuevara 8.125, back.
Over all both cars came home with no damage, both cars just need
service and we will be back racing june 4th
Stay tuned ......
