Everyone have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!

This coming weekend on July 4th, we race in remembrance of the man who gave all the drivers a place to race at Thunder Valley...Willie Will. RIP

 

6-27-09 The crew decided to race this weekend, passing up their traditional Lernerville trip. Intentions were to diagnose a vibration that Chris had felt in the car the night he had won. The team wanted to be prepared for the upcoming Willie Will Memorial race on July 4th. After the heat race, Chris was positive it had to be the drive shaft, which after replacing, it was determined to be the cause. With no more vibration, Chris started the feature in 8th place. Chris was running a strong 6th when near the end of the feature, the leader and 2nd place car were taken out, sending the driver in 3rd, who the track determined caused the accident, to the rear. With one lap to go, Chris finished in the 3rd spot with his brother winning.

From near disaster in the heat to a Win in the feature!

The heat race got a bit hair-raising as Chris narrowly missed hitting his brother who was sitting on the front stretch after tangling with another car. Chris' 4th place heat finish put him in the redraw for the feature, giving him a 3rd place starting position. At the start of the feature, Chris cleared the front starters, Doug Glessner and Dan Lee on about lap 3 and never looked back. Chuck Clise later got hot on Chris' tail, but Chris held on for the win! The win marks Chris' first late model win at Thunder Valley Raceway and ends the 2 year dry spell. The CR9 team would also like to send out wishes for a speedy recovery to Joe Padula, Sr. who recently had surgery!
