Weekend Results 8/26 - 8/27
Lake Erie (8/26):
We finally had an incident free night at Lake Erie Speedway this week in the #51 Late Model. Dave started third in the first heat for the late models, he quickly took over second place on lap two and hooked to the back bumper of John Julicher in the 09 for the next 8 laps. Jay Sommers in the 33 would make his presence felt as he battled Dave on the outside as both were looking to get by the 09. Julicher appeared to pick up a push as the heat race progressed, and on lap 9 he pushed up just enough in turn 2 and Dave slipped under him to take the heat win. For the feature the #51 would start in the 6th position. Dave ran a solid race patiently working his way forward from this 6th place starting spot. Dave would find his way up to third and would pull away from the rest of the pack, but Jay Sommers and Todd Hoddick had already checked out on the field as Hoddick slipped under Sommers and won the race by a matter of inches. Dave finished third matching our best finish of the year.
Lancaster (8/27):
Rain hit after practice and once again forced LRP to cancel the races this week. A make-up for the Mr. Modified 50 should be announced this week. We brought the #51 Late Model out on Saturday to get ready for the US Open. The car looked pretty good and we are looking forward to taking the green in the #51 at Lancaster.
