Default NHRA has the West Coast Swing, ECS CC has the mid-season swing

So we don't travel like NHRA (I do but you don't LOL) but we are going into what I think is our toughest stretch of the season.

3 races in 4 weeks.
Hard for many to make all the events but those who can could have an advantage.


Care to share who you think might do well or poorly during the "Mid Season Swing"

Not to put any pressure on myself but since I will miss one of the three.
Can Savarese hold on to the lead?
Will the "Spoiler" be back?
Can Panuzzo hang with the younsters?
Can our sophmore racers, Esposito, Gray and Murhan make the move?
Can Boweryboy go rounds while running in the Quick 4?
Will this finally be Vic's race?
Can Kovitch get himself back on track?
Will we again see 100+ cars?

See you all at the track:D

There will be a lot of red lights at the next event. Why you ask? I think everybody will be trying to do well to qualify for the Division Points Meet. I know I will be pushing the tree. :D :boxing

We won't be back till Sept 20th. Our schedule was made up as soon as the dates were listed in the begining of the year, and can't make the 2 thrown in make-up dates.

How about me I got by 1st round for the 1st time this year, and I deserved to loose.

(Can our sophmore racers, Esposito, )

He took the old guy (ME) to school on saturday in round 2.

George had a .512 to my .526 (.526 is good in the early round most of the time) and then he ran .005 over his dial. I broke out running .02 under my dial and taking the stripe by .0173 on the brakes at 98 mph, there was no way I could have won.
Thats a real super job of cutting a light and running a number. :cheers:

Thanks John, I knew I would have to give it my all going up against an experienced racer like yourself. I find that is the best way to learn, for me at least. Thanks for the kind words. :cheers:

In case you missed it here is how the 1st of the three went

Can Savarese hold on to the lead? NO
Will the "Spoiler" be back? NO
Can Panuzzo hang with the younsters? NO
Can our sophmore racers, Esposito, Gray and Murhan make the move? Esposito in the ladder, Gray and Murchan not so hot
Can Boweryboy go rounds while running in the Quick 4? Damn, 3 points in the brackets
Will this finally be Vic's race? NO
Can Kovitch get himself back on track? NO
Will we again see 100+ cars? Not at the 1st of three.
