August 14-15 Bremerton

Getting to the race could have been an omen for the weekend to come, but even with all the trials and tribulations on the way down, it was a great weekend.

Justin Gallant and crew suffered problems with his clutch fan. Fortunately his race car was able to give up parts so that the motor would stop overheating in the tow vehicle.  John DePourcq and crew had the tread come off his back tire and take out most of the back quarter of the truck, and the tail pipe.   He was able to MacGiver the exhaust, install the spare and be on their way.  Hobo Racing had some challenges at the border and a better alarm clock is required for Rory McNeil. 

There were 25 cars on Saturday.  A few new comers and some old friends.  Marc Sorger got a bye in round one since he had the best reaction time. Dan Wojtowicz took out Kim Bailey with his 90 Mustang running a 13.32 on a 13.20 with a .072 light.  Terry Hoogstins advanced to the next round when Dan Ford's Chevy Nova wouldn't' start in the staging lanes.  Justin Gallant took out Stephen Behrens who broke his 70 VW Bug.
