LRP 7/21 Results and weekend preview

A full stock car program this Thursday at Lancaster due to the car show taking place at the track this weekend. Dave started 3d in our heat race and had a solid run taking home a second place finish. After LRP changed the modified feature line-up 4 times we started 5th in the feature......I think. The problem with the line-up was due to Dave and McGrath being tied for "money won" over the last 3 races. For anyone who is wondering what that means, they set the line-up by taking all the qualified cars and putting the driver with the least money won over the past 3 weeks on the pole and the most money won last of the qualified cars. Since Dave and McGrath were tied, they usually then go back to points and whoever has the least points starts in front of the driver with more points...hence the handicapping system. Well apparently someone at the track overruled the official and changed their procedure for last night. This proved to hurt us on the start as the Inside row did not go and the outside 3 cars took the top 3 spots. This moved us back 7th at the beginning of the race, after a number of attempts to get the race going the Mods finally completed 30 laps with Hehr taking home his third win of the season. Dave struggled with an ill handling car and finished 5th. After having a tight but good car in the heat our adjustments seemed to create a very unstable car for the feature. Chuck Hossfeld finished second, Bobby Holmes had an impressive run finishing 3d.
