From what I know so far, Scott Lamp won the mods and I think #12 won the factory stocks...not sure who it is.

Mark Klein led the whole Pro Late Model race and got passed by #12 on the last lap...I know the #12 wasn't Dan Leeck, my source isn't giving me that much information.

#12 is Cal Wiltse from Au Gres.That was one good race.Chris Trinklien won 4 cyl and Bob Farley won the lead sled

The # 12 in the factory stocks was John Zilwacki from Standish. It is his son's car, and was the first time the car was raced. He did a great job with a new car. Way to go John!!

all the races were excellent,,poor tater.it just wasnt his night,,he finally got mad and pulled off..the poor kid..they just kept messing with him...the only complaint i got is that flag man sux...but good job bye tim near started 14 and ended The Woolworth mad a great charge to the front from 20th....rob Johnson anf Klein had a great race going i dont even know how the 12 passed him...chad was the top ls finishing 5th..them cars out there are pretty fast..for there ls division...completely different rules..but all the races were great..

tim finished 4th

did chad get cheated? how did the pitbull do

very enjoyable night of racing last night at whittemore, i actually passed up going to toledo to go up there and can honestly say i didnt regret not going to toledo. the mod feature was an excellent race, not alot of caution flags and lots of passing to. the late model and factory stocks were good shows also but a few to many caution flags. i do have one minor complaint about the show though. the lineups take way to long to get lined back up. there had to be a better system to get the lineups straight. the factory stock feature started at around 6:15 and wasnt completed until about 7:30 or so because it took so long to get the lineups correct. oh well i did enjoy myself and would definitely think about going up there next year again.

chad didn't get cheated those guys up there just have to much car from the way it look to me,,chad drove his butt off..the pit took out the leader when he was getting laped..boy did i laugh that was to funny,,,but it wasnt pits fault he was trying to dodge a slower car going into the pits off the backstretch
but it was comical,,i was sitting next to this old guy who said his lead sled drivers like to beat and bang..so i had to stick up for my ac guys and said..ares will to..i told him they race a figure8 at dixie..and when pit bull turned left to miss that car and took out the leader,i told him see are do to...that old man got mad..as i laught my butt off

did pit do to try help chad out

:biggrin: :rofl: just joking

joking about pit doing to help chad

:bana: :rofl:

yeah that was funny,,my gut still hurts.from laughing so hard

My racin shoes smelled burnt this morning. That fs race was fun. The only Metric in the field runnin with the big dogs.

thinks for sticking up for the a\c guys. that is true I came out of 2 and there was someone
trying to get off the track . And when I cut down the leader was coming up on my inside.

WAIT A MINUTE!!!You mean those guys up north in the L/S had more power and better setup.Damn I thought you A/C guys said its not the car Chad is just a great driver and so smooth he is heads and tails above everyone.His car is just a normal stock car just like it came off the assembly line.As far as the pitbull taking someout hes noted for that ,,that bull---- has been going on all year at A/c.l

shows how much you know I don't race at a\c d---h---.

Mark Klein was tight and couldn't get the car to the bottom, Cale raced him clean and it took a few laps to make the pass but what I thought was more impressive was Cale 12 passing Hottis for 2nd on the outside.

Chad looked like he handled well and drove smooth as always but I think the motor rules at whittemore are just a bit more than what a/c and dixie cars can run. Chad was clearly out motored.

I'm really glad Tater didn't wad it up after contact. His car was angled hard towards the wall and he saved it.

I couldn't believe that the Mods could run that many green flag laps without a caution. I think it was 43 lap from the start of the race.
I'm glad I made it for the features.

Billy Luckhurst was the man on the move, he tried everything to get around Scott Lamp. Billy was much faster then Lamp in the corners, but Lamp was running the perfect line and speed to keep Billy behind him, that was one of the best MOD races that I have seen in along time.

Whittemore staff did a great job this weekend! We will be back next year for sure!

Had a great time, very nice track and staff. I was just out motored, them boys have some SMOKE!!!!

Guys it was awesome to have you. Glad you sled guys came and battled it out! Big Joe it was about time we had you back at Whittemore. It was nice to see you again.

You guys did a GREAT JOB driving!

What an idiot! Duane didn't race all year at AC and Chad drove a great race. They were running rams horns, x pipes, brezinski, and this is straight from their competitors mouths. The winner started dead last and drove around the best cars in the state on the outside. He would definately not have passed tech at AC or Dixie. The guy was a rocket. Nobody is complaining either it just next year to race there we will have to have more smoke. We took knives to a gun fight. By the way we had a great time. I hope to race there next year.

All the AC guys in every class drove thier butts off. We leave our printed invite rules a little loose and vague deliberately so everyone can fit in from any place. The very worst experiences that I have had at invitationals was getting beat up in the tech line. It was a stated goal that that would not happen here and also announced at the drivers meeting. Actually the talk around whittemore is to mirror more the AC and Dixie regular season rules next year to keep the power reigned in more. The big thing we kept in place and they checked on everyone was outlet diameter on the pipes which 2 inch stinger was max was allowed. One car was found with 2 1/2 to 3 inch pipe and he was asked to move up to factory stocks. He did with no problem at all (he borrowed some tires and wheels from one of our local guys) The AC guys did a great job again, the clio posse is welcome at Whittemore any time and enjoyed the time I got to talk with Nick and Chad (briefly) Thanks again for coming.

Yeah I saw the monte you were talking about...that was a nice race car.

I had a fun this weekend. I just wish I had been more prepared. To start I had a flat tire on the trailer on the way to the track when I made it to the track I fought a push all weekend sat when I qualified I figured out the clutch was sliping so I changed out the disks. then I was so loose in the heat I couldn't drive so i adjusted more and got it so that it pushed agian in the feature. I was driving my a** off just to try and not get lapped then the yoke broke on my rearend. after I loaded every thing in my trailer I was out by the campfire relaxing and the guys I was camping with ran out of gas in their generator so I got out my gas and was filling their generator. I said do you have a flashlight and he said no so he got out his lighter to check the level and POOF FIRE the generator is on fire the gas poring out of the can is on fire I threw the can in the driveway before it blew up in my hand after we put the fire out I went back to drinking in the moring I left the track to come home I had another blow out on the trailer so with 3 tires on the trailer I limped it home at 20 mph for 4 hours

Wow! And a good time was had by all.

Words to live by: I said do you have a flashlight and he said no so he got out his lighter to check the level------------------

glad you made it out safe and sound

Yeah that kinda has some darwin award on it huh?!?

Don'tforget to mention that Bob Farley started in the back even though he was supposed to start on the poll so he had to pass all cars to win

Hey now, that idiot you speak of is my father!!! HAHA!

Dude, Dad must have been in celebration mode. Glad nobody got hurt. Kyle thanks for the props I wish I could have met you. Maybe this weekend at Dixie if you have the truck there

Jeff

We will be at Dixie with the truck on Saturday. I hope that we can retain the 20+ truck count that we've had all year. We might lose a few of our regulars due to the Super Shoe in their other cars, but I'm guessing we will still have 18 or so trucks.

I seen you a few times this weekend but everytime I seen you, you appeared to be busy hustling around getting things in order and I didnt want to bother. I looked for you on Friday night for about 15 minutes with John Culp (racer98) to introduce ourselves, but didn't see you around.

See you Saturday!

HEY JEFF, WHO ENDED UP WINNING; LONG HAUL, LOCAL HAUL, SCRATCH AND DENT? SPECIAL THANKS TO PAM FOR DRUMMING UP ALL THAT EXTRA CASH FOR THE RACERS THIS YEAR. EVERYONE WORKED HARD TO MAKE THIS YEAR EVEN BETTER THAN LAST YEAR AND IT REALLY SHOWED. IN THE AUTOMOBILE BUSSINESS (REPAIRS) NO ONE EVER SEEMS TO TAKE THE TIME TO SAY THANKS OR HEY GOOD JOB! BUT WHEN THINGS GO SOUTH, YOUR AN S.O.B. ....... THANKS TO THE WHOLE STAFF, CAN'T SAY IT WAS A "GOOD" YEAR, BUT HEY.....THATS RACIN' SEE YOU NEXT YEAR WITH MY KID IN A SLED. TOM.

"I looked for you on Friday night for about 15 minutes with John Culp (racer98) to introduce ourselves, but didn't see you around."

KYLE WERE YOU THERE CREWING WITH JOHN IN THE 98 CAR?

I was a little bit everywhere, but yes that was me.

I WAS WORKING ON 2 CARS ON BOTH SIDES OF YOU, 79 LLM, AND THE WHITE 96 MOD.

I chatted with the driver of the 96 mod for a little bit on Friday, but yeah, thats funny that we crossed paths and didnt even know it.... LOL

Tom, Mr Norton won local driver, Dan Holmes won a long haul, Pete Hoffmeister won one and one other was given, I will have to ask Pam because I cant remember who the last was. Sorry to hear about the motor Tom. I can tell you one thing for sure. Ryan driving will have a whole new perspective for you. It will be fun to watch his accomplishments. Thanks for the use of the motor home too!

I just wanted to say i had a great time, got to meet a lot of people and see some excitiing action, and the racing was good too


It might not have been a perfectly even playing field in the led sleds, But it was awesome to see Chad, Nick, Duane, And Folley Giving it their best and driving their asses off trying to run with those local boys. Good job guys.




Greg

What a great time even though i had some motor problems. It's good to meet other people from other tracks. You hear so much about some drivers but never get a chance to meet them and this is a great chance. Chad you did a great job for what you were running against and you have a class crew. Good luck in the next division. Some of the best racing I have seen in a long time. Two thumbs up for the whole Whittemore staff including Terry in the tire shack sweating it out. Jeff you know how to run a show. Great Job.

BOB 31

Thanks it was a great time, my grandparents don't live that far away so they had a chance to come see me race at there home track. I like racing at a new track against new people

what does Nick's Caddy look like? what number? I would have watched for him if I knew what to look for.

#7 it is a white caddy

I think there were atleast 3 different former Factory Stock Champions in lead sleds. the 2, 12 and 27.

I wish I would have brought more to the table so I could have ran with them

Frank Evans Jr was the other driver promotion winner. We were teasing him not to report it to big frank!
