Brian Rivers and his staff member Sean Kiser of WrenchRite Car Care Center of Carlisle Pa. will be our sponsor for this race series which will have approx. seven events for the 2012 race season starting in early May. Back in August, Knisley's Performance closed their doors and WrenchRite bought out most of the inventory. Sean will handle the speed shop / accessory side of the business. They are located almost directly across Carlisle Pike from the old Knisley's store. Both Brian and Sean attended yesterdays race, you'll see their pictures in the winners circle as soon as the photos are posted. WrenchRite will be the title sponsor for the 6.50 index class. Thanks, Brian and Sean!
WrenchRite 6.50 index class had nine entrants, Jeff Doster, Ken Kline, Lee Chronister, Bruce Stoltzfus, Bill Smith, Wes Lawson, Darrell Law, Howard Lawson and Leslie Tobery. Everyone was sharp, running well into the low 6.50s on most passes. In the final both Leslie Tobery and Howard Lawson ran identical 6.54 ets with Leslie getting the win via a slightly better light, Darrell Law took third. This was just great racing out of all nine entrants, watch this class take off in 2012!
NAPA Automotive of York Footbrake Challenge had a full sixteen car field with Bill Smith and Rick Riddle in the final, both were out by less than .01, Bill with a 6.47 and Rick with a 6.94. Brian Shaffer and Jim Stephens took semi spots. Rick sure is having fun with his son Derek's car while he is away at college.
Staub Automotive Super had Scott Miller '67 Chevelle with his first Super Pro win running a dead on 6.27 @ 109 mph over a breaking out Ron Weidner in his '70 Chevy Nova with a 7.17 on a 7.20 dial. Brandon Lowe took third.
Harbold's Garage and Trailer Sales Bike / Sled had Danny Boyer winning over Matt Hile. Danny ran a 6.18 on a 6.17 dial, Matt broke out going 6.35 on his 6.37 dial. Mike Jones and Dwayne Stambaugh took semi spots.
Keith's Pit Stop Pro had Mike Wildasin in his second visit with us this year win out over Terry Ort Jr. in his fast '64 Nova, 7.26 to a 6.26 both drives .06 over the dial ins. Scott Thomas took third place.
McNew's Automotive Street has Kevin Stough in his exceptional S-10 truck winning over Roger Bailey's Fairmont in the final, sixteen year old Autumn Miller was third.
John Stambaugh's new S-10 is now a winner for him as he won Brad Rodgers @ Brookside Motors Trophy class with a dead on 7.83 over Darrell Wanish in his Monte Carlo. Rodger Gladfelter and Dave Beam were the semi finalists.
There were twenty five test and tune cars with us today, this deal is a bargain, $20.00 gets you time runs all day, usually six to eight passes. These were some runs of note. Larry Mummert's 340 Duster ran a best 6.46 @ 104mph, Steve Groft's 427 '68 Chevelle, 6.54 @ 104, Dwayne Stambaugh finished his cross over license runs on Robert Huff's VRod with several 6.00 @113 mph runs, Ken Kile drove Brian Kuhn's wild super charged Willys to some hard 330' runs and will try to finish licensing this Sunday, and finally Kasey Brunner drove Bob Carlson's Camaro to a 6.82 et. Many others ran well and we hope to see many of them back this Sunday!

10/17/2011 - Partly cloudy skies and gusty winds greeted our racers on this "King of the Track" day at Quarter Aces. Lets start with our Brad Rodgers @ Brookside Motors Trophy class. In the final in her "borrowed?" Ford Taurus was Cindy Eisenhart winning over Ron Lebo. Cindy was one off her 10.12 dial to win the four round class. Wayne Kopp and John Stambaugh took the semi spots. By the way, John was driving his newly acquired S-10 truck just purchased from Tammy and Wayne Skelly. Staub Automotive Super was won by Walt Little over Mark Coover when Mark broke out by one in the final. Chris Crawford took third. Super had nineteen cars racing today. How about Tabi Startzman winning over the much faster Jeff Huber on his Suzuki. This was Tabi's first win, no doubt there will be more in the future. Howard Gibbs and Matt Hile were the semi riders. In Keith's Pit Stop Pro Dave Dissinger from Lancaster Co. drove his super Vega wagon to take the win over Scott Thomas and his 454 '70 Chevelle, 6.45 to a 7.58. Dave was on all day recording low 6.40 runs on each pass. What a great car. Lukas Birks took third in his '95 Camaro. McNew's Automtive Street was won by Garrett Suders over Roger Bailey, Garrett ran a dead on 7.46 against Roger's five off 7.51. Rob Roberts Jr. and 16 year old Autumn Miller took semi spots. Trindle Auto Service, DMS Performance, Innovative Motorworks Sport Compact was won by P J Crider over Troy Weisharr with Alan Lesher of Auto Seat Cover Co. of Harrisburg taking third. Justin Bradley of DMS Performace brought his bad Honda CRX and ran several wheel spinning 7.20 @ 104 mph passes. A bit more traction and he's going sixies. The NHRA "King of the Track" found Garrett Suders winning over Tabi Startzman while Walt Little got by Dave Dissinger. In the final it was Walt Little who was excellent all day long running a 6.80 on a 6.79 dial as Garrett Suders was out by one, 7.44 on his 7.45 dial. Garrett won a "Wally" last week, this one could have been his fourth this year. Walt says this was his first ever "Wally". Great job Walt Little and family! At the end of points this year we had a tie in our Super Pro Class between Bill Wilkinson and Mark Coover and yesterday they got around to running off the tie breaker. Mark caught a slightly better light and won giving him his first ever track championship. Steve Groft in his "68 big block Chevelle came out to race with us for the first time in five years! He went out early in Pro but made several time runs, good lights and 7.0 @ 96 mph runs. Welcome back! | ||||||||
