Let�s start with the biggest of these classes, In Pro bike / sled points leader Steven Myers won out over Jimmie Miller with Kevin Border taking third. In the street bike division, Dale Hamilton beat Mike Sadlowski with Aaron Arnold the third place finisher. Several of the Pro bikes ran well into the fives. Kevin Border, ran a 5.34 @125 mph, 1.16 sixty ft. times. Its good to see him get the bike working like he had hoped it would. Wes Garman's sled laid down a 5.79 @117 mph pass, a personal best. This was a good show, thirty one bikes and sleds participated, thanks Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales, Dylan Griffey and Dwayne Stambaugh.

Even with a rainy forecast and showers in the area, we had an overall good turnout. NAPA Automotive of York once again sponsored our third footbrake challenge of the year and this one was a good one. Dicky Bodmer once again came north from Libertytown, Md with his Camaro and ran the table with one off the dial, 6.76 et in the final against last month�s winner, Clayton Garber who was two off his 6.95 dial. Both lights were close on this run which was the last run of the day. Brian Shaffer and Brad Doss got the semi finalist money. One note, Dicky Bodmer on his last visit won Pro in a thirty six car field, two trips to QA and two wins, think he'll be back in Sept. for the next footbrake challenge? Again a big thanks to Cary Walton, CEO and owner of NAPA Automotive of York for helping us present this race series, two more are coming, Sept 26th and Oct. 24th.

In James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super Bill Wilkinson was a winner over point�s leader Brandon Lowe in the finals. Bill was two over his 6.71 dial while Brandon broke out by four at 6.79 et. Dan Lightner who won last week was our third place driver.

Howard Gibbs visited the winners circle in Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike class when he won over Steven Myers. Dwayne Stambaugh's Royal Farms sponsored sled was third.

In Keith's Pit Stop Pro, Keith Warner and his big wheel standing Thunderbird were nearly flawless all day long as he ran a one off the dial 6.45 in the final against the supercharged Willy�s entry of Brian Kuhn who was two off his dial of 6.08 et. Kate Roth and Vernon Billet took the semi spots. Kate Roth showed another good effort and is just getting tougher each week and moving up the point�s ladder. This was a tough field as a number of our very solid racers were entered along with a number of the Maryland drivers that were here for our last footbrake event.

McNew's Automotive Street was won by Bob Brown Sr. over Kristen Warner in her Ford Lightning truck. Kristen barely went red in the final. Brittany Jones took third and is still out front in the point�s battle for street. Kristen Warner didn't win today but had a .000 light and a .009 light during eliminations, not bad driving.

Aaron West had a big day in Bowhunters Superstore Trophy as he held off the breaking out Tessa Sheaffer in the final. That's two trophy runner up finishes for Tessa in the last two races. Lisa Webb keeps getting closer as she took the third place spot. This was Aaron's first visit to the winner circle this year.

This past Sunday was a busy one. One hundred forty plus cars and bikes rolled through gates to put on a big show for race fans, racers and staff. First off this race was dedicated to the families of two of our racers who passed on this year. Ben McBall's family attended the racing and son Michael McBall made a slow pass in Dad's car. This was an emotional day for the McBall gang and all of us at QA. Sadly the Rhinehart family just wasn't quite up to this event and didn't attend. Our thoughts were with Misty and the rest of the Rhinehart family. We all thought highly of both Ben and Joe. Their families will always be welcome to visit us and we hope they will take us up on this regularly!

This was Chris's first win of the 2010 race season, the bike he now owns formerly belonged to runner up Howard Gibbs. Dan Strausbaugh and Keith Holtzapple took semi honors.

Keith's Pit Stop Pro benefited from the foot brake challenge racers as they all entered pro making this a thirty six car field with as much talent as we've seen in one class in the three years of the Stanley Dye ownership of the track. Dicky Bodmer from Libertytown, Md showed up with his new 85 Camaro and out lasted a tough field beating Bob Crum in the final. Bob had the better light, .011 but was a bit off the dial, 7.46 on a 7.38. Dicky was dead on his 6.85 prediction and just snuck around Bob on the final run of the day. By the way, Bob won the last Pro class on July 4th and had won ten straight rounds before the final round loss. Third place went to Kate Roth who gets better each event, she formerly drove junior dragsters and this year she has been tough each week. Pro was an excellent show from round one to the finals.

In McNew's Automotive Street Bruce Suders brought out daughter Courtney's new ride, a 73 Duster, and it ran well all day. Bruce beat Keymar Md. driver Kristen Warner in her Ford Lightning truck. Shane Resh and Mike Hufnagle took semi spots in their Mustangs. This was Kristen Warners first race with us and a runner up finish was not bad, Kristen had a number of good lights throughout the day. Yes, Courtney did make one pass in her car after dad's win, she ran a 7.75 @ 88 mph.

Bowhunters Superstore Trophy was won by Wayne Donoho over Steve Long. Semi racers were Stacey Rodgers and Scott Failor.

Racing at Quarter Aces this past Friday with the All-Chrysler Nationals was a rousing success. A huge turnout of race fans rolled in early to an excellent show. Rocky Pirrone brought both blown Willys Coupes out for a mach race. Rocky drove the '33 and Ken Hall piloted the '40 car, both launched hard and put on a great show. Al Smyth of Porta Tree brought his '09 Drag Pack A/SA Challenger to make some exhibition runs with his son Stephen behind the wheel. Fred Ristigno brought out the Sox and Martin Pro Stock Duster and ran a couple of 5.70 runs. Also Bill Stiles of York Pa had his Super Stock 'Cuda and Pro Stock car and made passes in both.

In McNew's Automotive Street Bob Brown Jr. won out over Mark Ketterer of Sellersville, Pa. This was a close one as Mark broke out trying to chase down Bob. Jeff Doster Jr. and Walt Haas Jr. were the semi racers. A special note here as this class had some really sharp drivers in mix, Mark Ketterer races mainly at Maple Grove and Walt Haas Jr. at Atco, both are top shelf racers at their home tracks. Bob Brown Jr. hasn't raced much in the last couple of years but you wouldn't have known it to see him in this event. Four of the Brown's [ three generations] race with us at QA, Bob Brown Sr., Bob Brown Jr., Gloria Brown and Tre Brown in the Junior Dragster class.

Chris Holley had a big day as he won Bowhunters Superstore Trophy over Paul Anderson, Wayne Dnoho took third. Chris' Dart ran a string of low 7.40 runs all day long running two classes and hot lapping at the end of day.

The Fourth of July Sunday racing was certainly special. First off, Bill Wilcom, former owner / operator of 75-80 Dragway spent the day with us at QA. He met with many of our racers who in the past ran with Bill at one time or another and hung out in the tower with the former owner of QA, Ron Wallace and with new owner Stanley Dye. Bob Martin, head of tech, at 75-80 came along for the day also. We had a number of first time racers with us, all of them brought good cars and ran well.

Let's kick off the race results with our James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super class. Bernie Staub brought out his Super Street Plymouth Arrow and made the finals against Dan Lightner's dragster, Bernie took the win over Dan while new racers for us, David Keyton and Luara Landry were the semi racers. Laura was a former junior dragster standout and now wheels an excellent 67 Chevelle running a string of 6.20 passes. Dave's Corvette was real quick and consistent running low 5.60 passes. We hope to see both of these drivers back soon!

Chris Powers reset his track record for bracket cars with a 4.49 e.t. at 153.1 mph. The other incremental, 1.01 in sixty feet, 2.89 down to the 330 foot mark.

6/6/10
Saturday we tried again. We started times runs about 4:00 pm and everyone got several runs before intermission. We had fun with some heads up grudge racing, Brian Shaffer ran Chris Taylor several times and the runs were close. Three of our Special Event EMS Junior Dragster drivers put on an exhibition. Tre Brown ran Nick Taylor, both cars ran strong, Tre showed off a bit with a .001 light and on his second run he slept?? with an .020 light. Nick cut good lights also and his car was the quickest of the three. Brady Kile ran his junior as well and showed us a .008 light on his first run. Next to run was Pro Stick driver Fred House behind the wheel of his turbo 4 cylinder Ford Probe. He went the fastest ever at our house with a pair of 5.19s @ 132.5 mph, 1.18 sixty foot launches, impressive. And lastly to run was Dick Estevez driving the "Daddy Warbucks" '65 Falcon. In humid muggy damp air, certainly less than great conditions to lay down big numbers, Dick uncorked a 5.08 @ 136.5 mph and on his second pass picked it up slightly with a 5.06 @ 136.5 mph. How about a 1.18 and 1.17 in sixty feet on his runs. Dick talked to everyone over the PA and was complimentary about the track itself and about QA in general. We weren't expecting him to be back Saturday but he showed and made two excellent runs. Thanks Dick Estevez. Sadly, right after Dick's second run the sprinkles came and stayed steady enough to make us have to cancel out. Sooner or later we have got to get some decent weather. We thank all those that participated both on Friday and Saturday.

Sunday, June 13th we feature a Summit Points Race and Ladies Challenge presented by Lightner's Tree Service and Jim and Nina's Pizzeria of East Berlin, Pa. About the Fords-- We will put up money and gift certificates for the Fords that go the farthest in eliminations in all classes.

A big thanks to all of them for doing all they could to support the Ford event. Let's all hope for a nice upcoming weekend, great weather and good racing! See you Sunday!

6/4/10

Here is what happened at Quarter Aces this past Memorial Day weekend. First, on Sunday we had an excellent turn out of racers and race fans. Street Legal Eliminator sponsored by SGS Automotive and front engine dragsters were the featured classes of the day. Steve Long came through with a big day taking out Doug Wetzel in the finals in Street Legal Eliminator. This netted Steve with a big $250.00 payout. Kate Roth and Seth Birks were the semi drivers.

Moving on to James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super, Bill Foster's hard charging 70 Chevelle ran off a string of 5.90 runs to win over Ken Johns in his 69 Chevelle. Walt Little took third.

Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales and Service Bike / Sled went to Jason Staub. He won out over Steven Myers. Robert Huff was third. On a special note, Steven Myers had won four straight bike eliminators going into to Sunday's event. Dylan Griffey of Capitol Paving put up a $50.00 bounty on Steven. Now the pressure was on, but Steven won the first three rounds and finally bowed out in the final. The streak ended at nineteen straight round wins! Wow! Jason Staub collected the $50.00 plus the regular purse in a good race.

Keith's Pit Stop Pro had Lester Holtzapple beat Brian Shaffer in the final, Jim Stephens and the "cookie man" Bob Crum were the semifinalists. Lester was his usual self behind the wheel with a string of teen lights throughout the day.

McNew's Automotive Street was won by Buck Markewicz. He defeated Matt Stoltzfus in the final, Stan Crum and Ed Snelbaker took semi honors.

Trindle Auto Sales and Service Sport Compact went to Brian Dubbs over Bill Gordon. Michael Cashman was third.

First time racer and National Drag School student Dan Hoerr won Bowhunter Superstore Trophy class when his opponent David Nickol broke. Wayne Donoho and Aaron West were the semi racers. Several of the National Drag School students were here for the day with Mike 'Cowboy' Stevenson. They all got to see how our race operation is run with a tour of the facility with some time in the tower and out on the starting line during Pro time trials. Seems like all involved got something positive from the day.

In Special Event EMS Junior Dragster it was Nikki Bennet over Erin Warner in the final with Trey Brown taking third.

Finally we ran our King of the Hill at the end of the day and Lester Hotzapple won out over Jason Staub. Buck Markewiecz and Bill Foster were the semi final drivers.

Moving on to day two. First we welcomed Dan and Clair Laterza for Racers for Christ. They stayed all day and performed the morning service and the invocation at intermission. It is always good to have them with us on Memorial Day!

Special Event EMS Junior Dragster Shootout and NAPA Automotive Footbrake Challenge were the days featured classes. First a big thanks to Tom Alleman of Special Event EMS for helping to get the purse to where each racer in the main race and second chance race all received money for there efforts, a big thanks to Special Event EMS! Erin Warner won the Junior Dragster main race in a field of nineteen cars. To say Erin dominated the event would be an understatement! She was double "0" at the tree on three runs and went .001 against Tre Brown in the final to take home $200.00. Skyler Stump took third. This was a tough field of racers that all drove well! First round losers raced in a consolation affair with Danielle Manili winning out over Nick Taylor, Joshau Kelley was third.

Cary Walton's NAPA Automotive of York Foot Brake Challenge had Andy Wildasin winning over Brandon Wentzel and Steven Myers taking third. Sadly Brian Shaffer had a slick go flat and Bill Smith lost a transmission or they may have gone further in this event.

Trindle Auto Sales and Service and DMS Automotive Sport Compact was won by Brian Dubs in a best two out of three over Bill Gordon.

It was great to see new faces and others who haven't raced for awhile join us at QA. Greg Eachus of Honeybrook, Pa. brought his powerful Chevy Vega to run in Pro. Greg laid down several 6.10 @ 114.00 mph passes. The car looks good and runs hard. The Warthen family from Mt. Airy, Md. brought their newly acquired Chevy Nova out to run Super. The car worked well and the whole family liked our track but especially had nice things to say about our racers. They will be running with us more this year. Gary Warthen and family will be a great addition to our program, welcome aboard. Ed Snelbaker ran with us both days, it�s good to have him back. Buck Markewiecz ran with us last year but broke the timing chain on his excellent 68 Firebird. The engine was redone and ran 7.60 's all day long, Buck won Street on Sunday. Pat Garst came up from Frederick , Md. and went rounds.

We had some employees off this weekend and we want to thank those that filled in, they were Wayne Skelly, Lester Holtzapple, Lori Beard, Reggie Murphy, Sandy LaShure and Terry Shaffer all did a great job, a big thanks!

Well we have it with this event. This will have a good mix of Gassers, Altereds, Roadsters and Nostalgia Stockers that will put on a great show for everyone. Do you have a hot rod car? Show it off with the cruise in that day. We park these cars on the hill, good thick grass, no dust up there and a great view of the racing for anyone coming in for the Cruise In.

Sunday May 23rd will be especially busy. NHRA Stockers and Super Stockers will be here putting on a great show. These cars leave hard with many doing big and long wheel stands. This race is a week before Maple Grove's Divisional Lucas Oil Event and we expect a good turnout of these cars. Lightner's Tree Service and Mid Atlantic Hoosier Tire are presenting this race.

We will have the fastest four Sport Compacts run a heads up deal to see who has the baddest car in this class. At the end of these two classes we will run the Nissan and Sport Compact winners against each other. Nissan cars will also have a cruise in on the hill.

Memorial Day weekend has a bit of the old and new. The winner of Super Pro, Pro, Street and Bike run for a King of the Hill trophy like we have been doing for the last thirty years or so.

Opening day finally arrived with excellent weather greeting racers, race fans and sponsors to the first day of racing at Quarter Aces Drag-O-Way. Again another big thanks to all that helped getting the track in shape so we could open as scheduled. Flooding rains washed out areas near the food stand, bleachers and tech building back in January. For five weekends in a row of work, track staff and volunteers made the job much easier. A special thanks to Dylan Griffey and his dad for doing the road repairs. 

As for the results, let's start with the Special Event EMS Junior Dragster class. Skylar Stump started her season off right by taking the win over Steven Henry. Nikki Bennett and Danny Wilson were the semi racers.

James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super winner was Walt Little over Jerry Holcomb. Ken Carr and Ben McBall took the semi final spots. It is good to have Walt back with us, his Dodge Charger was nearly flawless as usual

Steven Myers won out over Jason Staub in a sled final in the Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike/Sled  class. This was Jason Staub's first venture on a sled and he actually got there first but broke out. Terry Hoke took third place.

Keith's Pit Stop Pro was won by last year's track champ Wayne Skelly. This final had to be the closest and best race of the day. A double breakout had Bill Smith losing out by two ten thousands in the final. What a close race! Bet we see a lot of this all season long. Brian Kuhn was third.

Mcnew's Automotive Street was won by Doug Wetzel when Brittany Jones caught the better light but broke out in the final. Roger Bailey and Steven Greenplate were the semi finalists.

Also Jeff and Jill Rosh will be at the track a lot this year to do your car graphics, class designation, class number, names etc.  These can be made right on the spot on race day. They made us a terrific menu board for our food stand and will do other stuff for us as needed. Thanks, Jeff and Jill, welcome aboard! Don't forget, Summit Points race #2 is next Sunday. See you at QA!! 

4/5/10

Opening day is nearly upon us! The first thing we would like to do is thank all the volunteers who have helped in getting the track in shape for this Sunday's race. Four of the last five weekends [one was rained out] we have had as many as sixteen helpers working hard on repairing the January rain storm damage that made such a mess of the place. Nearly all the cleaning up is done plus a patio area has been built behind the food stand for our grill and a picnic table.

Opening day is a points race, make sure to see team captain Judy Miller to sign up for points before eliminations start. Masters Challenge class presented by Dylans Restuarant and Lounge will also be contested on opening day. New sponsors are on board for 2010.  Jim and Ninas Pizza of East Berlin will give one large pizza, one topping for winners and runnerups of Ladies Challenge. Wengers Meats of Carlisle has joined up with us. We will now serve their excellent pork barbeque on race days. We are in the process of setting up race date for Superior Tool Sales. Larry Snyder will be at the track that day and will give out tools to our class winners and others that day. Big Brothers / Big Sisters will again have a day on June 20th and another probably on Sept 12th. We look forward to having them with us again. Hurry up Sunday!!! Can't wait to get started!!!

This past Saturday, twenty one cars went through chassis certification performed by Curt and Sandy LaShure. A big thanks to both of them for their hard work. We also had a flea market that day and we served breakfast for the early arrivers.

3/27/10

Sunday March 28th Work Day Cancelled.

A big thank you to all that helped out on Saturday, we were able to get so much done that we won't need to work on Sunday.  Thank you!!!

Chassis Certification and Flea Market - April 3rd - 9am - 2pm.  Chassis Certification vehicles can build into the staging lanes and the Flea Market folks can set-up on the lower parking area by the timing booth.

3/03/10

It's hard to believe but opening day is barely six weeks away! Hurry up Spring! First off a big thanks to all our sponsor / partners and others who donated all the great door prizes for our banquet last month. As Kathy noted on the last post, we are going to need to do some flood damage clean up at the track once the snow is gone. As soon as we know some dates we will post them and hopefully we can get some help with this project.

We do have some new sponsor / partners onboard with us this year, Justin Bradley, Joe Storm's Newville Auto Spa, Wenger's Meats of Carlisle, Jeff and Jill Rosh's Graphics and RockAuto.com all are with us this year. The Rosh's will be with us on race day many times through the season to do graphics for our racers. The big news is that others have stepped up the programs with us. Tom Alleman's Special Event EMS group will not only give away a $1,000 bond to our Junior dragster champ but will also help with the Junior Dragster Challenge events. Cary Walton and the gang from NAPA Automotive of York will help us with six Foot Brake Challenge races. Simple rules, sixteen cars pre enter, $100 entry and 100% payout. In October we'll do a thirty two car field, again 100% payout. We will work with others to do this for Super cars and Bikes as sponsor / partners are brought onboard. We again will have a NAPA Automotive of York day at the track, all class winners get $50.00 gift certificates. Larry Snyder of Superior Tool Sales will have a day at the track. He'll bring his tool truck and he will give a way tools that day to class winners and others. Again a big thanks to these supporters of our racers and racing at QA!

Mike Carr's Tri-State Stock / Super Stock Association will have their first points meet with us on Sunday, May 23rd. On that day we also have a Sport Compact race, Lon Danley helped us greatly with this event last year and we look forward to working with him again. Also Justin Bradley, will be working with us with Sport Cmpacts also. East Coast Z Nationals Erik Kidwell will have his Nissan group racing that day. The Nissan winner will challenge the Sport Compact winner once the two classes are settled.

Lastly on a sadder note, Mike Summers who helped on the starting line several times last year suffered another stroke, he is recovering at home. Our thoughts are with Mike!

10/25/09

Sadly, yesterday was our last race of the 2009 season. But it was a good one! Cars were fast, as we had cool clear weather. Let's start by talking about our first Foot Brake Challenge event sponsored by John Thompson's Knisley's Performance of Carlisle. There were sixteen pre-entered cars and drivers at $100.00 entry fee with a 100% payout! Drivers drew numbers so they knew who they had first round and the rest of rounds went by ladder sheet. When the semis arrived, Tammy Skelly had her husband and track champ Wayne in the other lane. Tammy won by pushing him out. Brian Shaffer drew Ray Born. Ray was nearly perfect in his win over Brian and that set up the final round good for a total of $1,300. Ray went .003 at the start and 6.55 on a 6.52 dial, Tammy went under by .02, 6.75 on a 6.77 dial giving the win to Ray Born. A pair of $25.00 gift certificates from Knisley's Performance went the driver closest to the dial and best reaction and again Ray won them both. As a side note, Tammy and Ray made a split, $800 and $500. Everyone enjoyed this deal and in 2010 we'll try to do more of this.

In SGS Automotive sponsored Street Legal Eliminator Kate Roth was the winner over Mark Ketterer. Greg Stump was third.

Dylans Resturant and Lounge Masters Challenge was won by Wayne Donoho over Bob Ormsbee. Buck Markiewicz and Dave Erikson were semi drivers.

In James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super Chris Powers won over Brian Kuhn while Mark Coover's two race winning streak ended as he was the third place driver.

Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike was won by Chris Zarichansky over Harv Philmalee. Wes Garman and Mike Jones were the semi riders. How about Chris with a .004 light and .02 off the dial 7.34 in the final. That was Chris's first win this year.

Dave Sciaretta made his first trip ever from Honey Brook, Pa. to QA to compete in Keith's Pit Stop Pro, and got through a tough field and squared off with former bracket finals winner Carl Gerber. Dave was .02 off his 7.45 dial and held off Carl's dead on the dial 6.54 by virtue of a .010 light. Great to have Dave with us, hopefully we'll see him more next year.

In Mcnew's Automotive Street Class this year's Bracket Finals winner from Reading, Pa. Brandon Wentzel won out over Mark Ketterer. Bob Ormsbee and Buck Markiewicz were the semi racers.

Bow Hunters Superstore Trophy was won by Erik Kopp over Dave Bailey, Wayne Donoho and Wayne Kopp took semi honors.

Lastly, in Special Event EMS Junior Dragster class, Tre Brown won over Skyler Stump, Claudia Powers and Nikki Bennett took the semis. To add a little craziness to the day, Nikki's granddad Kerm Shindledecker raced Erin Warner's dad Joe Warner driving the Junior Dragsters. They both cut good lights and ran 7.90s, only trouble was getting Joe out of the car, he was a snug fit for sure.

How about the new racers to us that came to visit, Marlin Huss, Dave Sciaretta, Mark Ketterer and Buck Markiewicz, all top shelf racers and good people. They had a great time and we hope to see them more in 2010.

Saturday, November 7, we have a Chassis Certification at the track starting at 9:00 am. Call Kathy Jones to schedule. Also a flea market for car parts or anything else on the same day. Come on out and visit. We will have coffee and cold drinks and snacks available also. QA banquet tickets can be bought that day. Judy Miller handles banquet ticket sales

Thanks everyone for a great season, Stanley Dye, track owner, track management and staff members, all of our racers and race fans, all of our excellent sponsor / partners and Stanley's full time employees. It wouldn't happen without everyone's efforts. Now if we could just get the weather to cooperate next year!

Great racing weather greeted our racers and race fans for the big Pro Stick event. Before talking about any other racing itself, lets give a big thank you to all who came out to watch and participate. One hundred eighty three race cars rolled through gates to put on a great show, maybe the best one this year! Eric Kitchen's Pro Stick gang had forty four entrants all of which hooked hard, most carried the wheels high and were plenty fast. Low E. T. of the day was Bill Smith in his 68 Camaro in the final as he went 5.24 on a 5.29 dial @ 130.5 mph. This break out run gave the win to Mike Rowe in his Mustang. Kevin Wines in his Camaro was third. Many of these cars were well into the fives and well over 120 mph. Great, close racing in this class from start to finish!  

All of our regular classes were competing for cash but also for a chance to win the "Wally". James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super racer Mark Coover won for the second straight week taking out Chris Powers in the final. Mark was nearly flawless in five rounds of racing. We can't forget to talk about Chris Powers again this week unleashing a 4.50 E. T. @ 152.5 mph during time runs. This is a record for all but an alcohol funny car at QA. Chris Taylor also had a good day taking third place.

Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike had Mike Jones taking home the "Wally" when he won out over Brittany Taylor in the final, Wes Garman and Chris Zarichansky were the semi riders.

We love it when our sponsors come and to spend time with us and today, Keith Elledge of Keith's Pit Stop who sponsors Pro threw in a Ben Franklin [$100] on top of the normal winner�s purse. Brian Shaffer took the win over Lee Chronister, with Morris Spahr taking third. Sadly for Morris, he knocked out u joint in the street final and couldn't contest the semi run in Pro. By the way, I got to hold the $100 bill and was going to present it to the winner but as soon as Brian's win light came on, Brian's wife Eva made sure she got to me first. Brian, I don't think you are going to see that Ben Franklin! 

In Mcnew's Automotive Street, Morris Spahr won it when Brad Doss went red. Kate Roth and Randy Brownawell made to the semis.

The Universal Technical Institute six foot trophy bash was won by Brandon Lowe who won out over Wayne Donoho. Wayne's runner up gave him a three foot trophy. Bob Brown Sr. and Jeremy Moyer were semi drivers. Bow Hunters Superstore is the week to week trophy class sponsor.

Lastly, Special Event EMS Junior Dragster had Nick Taylor as the winner over Skyler Stump. Alexxa Powers took third. Again the Taylor family did well with a runner up in Bike, a win in Junior Dragster and a third place in Super Pro, not a bad day!

Thanks again for a great race. Lots of racers and race fans made their first ever trip to QA. All seemed to enjoy the racing and we hope you will all come back and visit us often. And again always a pleasure to have Dave McMeans as my announcer partner again. Bill Smith also jumped in and announced a good bit in the later rounds of race action. He is doing an excellent job for us. Charles Mader of Bee Clean and Shine Car Care Products set up his display and many purchased his excellent product line. Lastly we welcome Joe Storm of Newville Auto Spa an auto detailing business for jumping on board for us for the rest of the year and for the upcoming 2010 race season. Joe gave us some gift certificates to give out to our racers. Thanks Joe.

See all of you next week, NHRA Stock / Super Stockers in the house on Sunday!

10/5/09

I'm not sure where to start on our racing yesterday, Oct. 4th. Let's start with our guests, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and the Cumberland County, Pa. American Red Cross. Barrie Ann George, her son and daughter and seven pairs of Big Brothers / Big Sisters arrived just in time to see time runs from our timing tower observation deck and inside the tower. At the end of the first time run session, we got all the members a ride in a race car. The racers did a small burn out and took the tree and drove down the track. All were impressed and talked about the ride all day. A bit later all had lunch with us. They all enjoyed the day and we WILL do this again next year. It was fun for all of us! Kevin Stoner represented the American Red Cross and was with us all day and took donations and passed out brochures and answered questions. By the way, our 50 - 50 drawing raised $257.00 which was split by both organizations.

Moving to the racing action, we had the East Coast Gassers, the class was won by Ron Carson, runner up was Nelson Bilyk. Third went to John Schreiner. These racers put on a great show! Also two of the beautiful recreations of the old A/GS gassers were on hand and made a pair of exhibition runs. The Back Seat Drivers, front engine dragsters were with us today, eight excellent cars made passes in the low to high fives. All cars looked great and very period correct also. Track photographer for ECD News "Mashie" Mihalko was on hand doing his usual excellent work and enjoying the day.

The other featured class was SGS Automotive Street Legal Eliminator won by Butch Dunn. Bill Johnson took the second spot, Dale Greenly and Mike Miller made the semis. Talking about SGS, two of their tuned customer cars made time runs, Clark Knudsen's stick Mustang ran mid sixes and Chris Peck laid down a 5.78 @ 123.5 mph. Seriously fast street car for certain!

Finally Mark Coover's name is now mentioned as the winner in James Coyle Hydraulic Repair Super class winning out over Chris Taylor. Brand Lowe and Chris Powers were the semi drivers. By the way Chris Powers laid down a track record run for anything short of a funny car at QA. How about a pair of 4.53 @ 151.5 mph. Good show!

Harbolds Garage and Trailer Sales Bike class was won Jeff Foster on a 4-wheeler, he took out track champ Bob Huff. Brittany Taylor was third.

Keith's Pit Stop Pro was won by Andy Ney over Mike Ambrose, Brian Shaffer was third.

Mcnew's Automotive Street honors went to Don Dickerson Sr. Kate Roth was runner up. Chris Seaman and Steven Greenplate were the semi racers.

Bowhunter Superstore Trophy was won by Wayne Donoho over Chris Seaman.

Terry Sheaffer and Megan Chronister took the semis.

Finally our Special Event EMS Junior Dragster divsion was won by Nikki Bennett. Nick Taylor was runner up and Mikayla Warner and Cory Maloney took semi spots.
