The rain continues to fall….

So far we are 1 for 3 at Path Valley and if “rain” was a driver he/she would be leading the points.

With a beautifully prepared surface awaiting the action, unfortunately the rain begun to fall as the 305’s were getting heat in their motors and it eventually forced the cancellation of the nights racing action.

New cars that were at Path Valley included the #22 of Patrick Roller, the #5D of Steve Dull and the return of the 1K from the Schanz racing stable (currently For Sale, see our website for details), only this time Kerry’s son Alex was set to take the wheel.

As is customary for the Sidewinder Sprints, all driver in attendance received the minimum points ( non qualifiers – 10 points) for their efforts.

One race meeting….two rain outs….

With non stop rain occurring and forecast for Friday nights racing program at Path Valley, the management of Path Valley was left with no choice but to postpone the nights action and try to race on Sunday.

Sunday awoke to dreary overcast skies with the occasion rain shower, but with the radar showing clearing skies and eager race teams wanting to hit the track, Path Valley decided to push on with the show. Upon our arrival at the track, everything looked great, at times even blue skies peaked through the grey clouds.

The track itself looked sensational…smooth as silk and you could really notice that the racing width has been increased with the banking now extending all the way to the guardrail. The inside groove has been flattened in comparison and this layout will no doubt produce sensational racing in weeks to come.

The track crew did a great job trying to save the surface, in a slight misty drizzle, but unfortunately some heavier showers made an appearance on the radar and at the time the show was called.

All Sidewinder teams that made an appearance will be credited with the non-qualifiers allotted points (10 points) for their efforts.

The story of the week must belong to Gary Funck.After detonating an engine on the dyno mid week, Gary changed engines and had Mike Dicely (Hyper Racing) dyno his car on Sunday morning before he headed to Path Valley. Gary wanted to make sure that Mike and Hyper Racing are recognized and thanked for their outstanding customer service and commitment to helping anyone in need...anytime !!

It's that level of customer service that makes Sidewinder Sprints very proud to be associated with Hyper Racing !
