Sidewinder Sprints – Path Valley 08/27

Kearchner claims first win.

For Seth Kearchner, 2010 started out on a terribly sad note. Seth lost his father suddenly in February and had to face opening day at Trail-Way without his best friend and crew chief for the first time. As hard as that was, Seth muscled through for a top 5 finish. The following week at Trail-Way the “racing gods” turned on Seth when Keith Ford lost a chain exiting turn 4 on the last lap of a heat race leaving Seth with nowhere to go but up and over Ford’s right rear and into a wild flip down the front straight. Two weeks of hard work saw Seth return and his opening day form continued with a great 3rd place finish. From there Seth showed that he would be a contender and it was only a matter of time until a win was within his grasp. At times the racing gods” can be cruel. Once again they challenged Seth when his motor blew up at Trail-Way on 6/26.

Like all budget racers those types of expenses take time to recover from and Seth was forced to wait while he searched for a replacement engine. Finally on 08/27 at Path Valley Seth made his welcomed return and this time the “racing gods” rewarded his hard work. In the feature Seth raced hard in his Kawasaki powered Probe chassis and became only the 3rd driver to take a win in a 13” wheeled micro chassis. (The other two are Alex Schanz and Tyler Walton)

A jubilant Kearchner explained “It’s been a tough year. I owe many thanks to my Dad. I really miss him and know that he was riding with me tonight. My thanks must go to the sponsors that help, His Place Inc. in Emmitsburg MD , Napa Auto Parts of Taneytown and College Advisory Services. It’s great to take my first win on my first night back. The new motor is running great and I am really looking forward to the rest of the races.”

Chassis / Wing / Wheel Parity Report: With no uprights in attendance the battle was between the 13” wheels and the 10” wheels. The 13” took the honors on the night with 1st and 2nd.

Sidewinder Sprints – Williams Grove 08/20

Murphy reigns The Grove

In the first feature of the night, it looked like a script that could easily have been shown on Animal Planet. Ben “Gazelle” Murphy out ran Mark “Cheetah” Strickler to claim the first feature and the overall win. The first feature saw Murphy overtake Rohan “Cobra” Beasley on the 3^rd lap for the lead. Strickler made it to 2^nd on lap 6 and just like in an episode of Animal Planet, the Cheetah couldn’t catch the Gazelle and Murphy was never headed and went on to take the win.

The 2^nd Feature saw Rick Hench detonate an engine of the front straight on the original start. The cars were red flagged and stopped on the back straight to give the track crew a chance to clean up the oil residue. In what seemed like an eternity to clean up only 2 quarts of oil (the engines only hold 3.8 quarts), the clock was already ticking on the time limited feature. With time being lost under the oil cleanup, the over anxious Williams Grove officials decided to checker the event after the 2 spin on lap 4. DJ Montgomery took the checker under caution and became the 2^nd winner on the night.

In victory lane, Ben Murphy and DJ Montgomery both thanked Williams Grove for having the Sidewinder Sprints on such a prestigious night. Ben went on to say “Thanks to Rick Hench for giving me this opportunity to drive the Henchcraft Racing Products’ house car this year.” DJ Stated “ hanks to my car owner/sister, Monica for providing the chance to race again this year. Also many thanks to Rick Hench for such a good repair job after our Lincoln crash.”

Chassis / Wing / Wheel Parity Report: As even as 5 cars can be, Upright chassis with 13” wheels and 16sqft wings came 1^st and 3^rd with micro chassis with 10” wheels and 12sqft wings in 2^nd, 4^th and 5^th.

Sidewinder Sprints – Williams Grove Shootout Preview

With the teams fresh from a two week break after Trail-Way was forced to cancel Saturday’s race due to being unable to get the track prepared after Thursday torrential downpours, the Sidewinder teams will be eager to strut their stuff at the famous Williams Grove Speedway this coming Friday night 08/20/2010.

Last year the Sidewinders made their first appearance at the historic venue and were lapping at the 21 second mark. Renowned commentator Bruce Ellis commented that the lap times were faster that the first ever World of Outlaws race at the venue.

This year there will be a twist to the Sidewinder format. With the 410 sprints running twin 20 lap features, the Sidewinder Sprints will be running two 10 lap features. The first feature will be lined up by a pill draw. The 2^nd feature will be lined up by a total invert of the first feature lineup with the night’s winner being declared by a combination of both finishes. Obviously points ties will occur and multiple tie-break scenarios have been produced that will reward the number of cars passed.

Winner..lowest total from both races. (1st is one point, 2nd is 2 points, 3rd is 3 points etc)

Tie breaker, highest total starting positions from combined features.

2^nd tie breaker highest individual start in either feature.

3rd tie breaker highest pill drawn.

At the same race last year, only 5 cars had the bigger 13” wheels. This year approximately 15 of the cars will be on the larger 13” wheels. The battle lines are drawn, this year rule package has enabled more races within races than any other class racing today. Micro chassis V’s Upright chassis, 10” wheels v’s 13” wheels, 12 sqft wings v’s 16sqft wings, American racer V’s Hoosier. Who will come out on top in the “Shootout at the Grove”.

Sidewinder Sprints – Trail-Way 07/31/10

Montgomery claims first “official win”

Two weeks ago racing produced the highest and the lowest for the Montgomery team when DJ Montgomery crossed the line at Port Royal first, but was subsequently disqualified for forgetting to go straight to tech after victory lane. This week however the team was all smiles after DJ raced to a convincing win and passed tech with flying colors.

DJ got the jump from his pole starting position and was never headed in the 20 lap feature. Current point leader Mark Strickler tried as hard as he could to run down DJ, but was unable to close the gap.

An obviously elated DJ explained “ It is really great to get this win for our team. We took a hard crash at Lincoln a few months ago and I need to thank my car owner and sister, Monica, for her support and help getting the car back together. This Henchcraft chassis has been fast and we have dialed it in nicely. I need to thank our sponsors, Groffs Plumbing, Air Conditioning & Electrical, Jim Morrison Excavating, Diversified Fuels and Simpson for their help and support.”

DJ became the 11^th different winner in Sidewinder competition in the 20 races so far this season.

Sidewinder Sprints – Path Valley 07/16 and Port Royal 07/17;

 Path Valley 07/16

 Schanz takes 2^nd win of the year.

As storms swept across Central PA, many though that Path Valley would become victim to the rain. It was not the case however as the storms magically split around the mountains and left Path Valley with only a slight shower. The track however looked like 2 inches of rain had fallen. As the Sidewinder’s ran their heat it became obviously by the bicycling that no one could get their cars loose enough on the exceptionally tack clay.

By feature time the track had packed down enough to afford a narrow but racy low groove and with the race going non-stop it looked like a survival of the fittest as the cars fought between a slightly slick lower line and a rough and tacky higher groove.

Rick Hench jumped out to lead the start of the feature but it only took until lap 4 for Alex Schanz to power by Hench and take over the top spot. Schanz was never headed and held on to win from Tyler Walton and Robbie Kendall in the Henchcraft rental machine.

Alex stated “ It’s great to pick up another win and I owe it all to my dad, and Chris Peters for their effort on the wrenches tonight.  My thanks to WeeBee Audio and Video, Schwanger Bros. Oil Co, I/E Custom Embroidery, Stoner Car Care Products and R&R Beer Distributors for all of their help and support.”

Port Royal 07/17 presented by Henchcraft Racing Products (www.Henchcraftracing.com ) $500 to win

Strickler wins in the pits.

After being rain/winded out at the Sidewinders first appearance at Port Royal, expectations from the teams were running at an all time high. The big ½ mile and the sweeping bends would produce some of the fastest top speeds that the Sidewinders had ever achieved. The new track crew were only into their 2^nd week and as such were still learning just how much water to use on the clay surface. The action got off to a later than scheduled start and the Sidewinders were moved up in the feature lineup to make sure that they had a chance to run their feature as the 305’s and late models would be able to have make up features at later appearances. This moved the Sidewinders to straight after the 410 feature with the Port Royal officials rushing things along as quickly as possible.

Heat race action gave the teams a chance to shake down their cars and acclimatize themselves to the super fast corner speeds. Come feature time it looked like the $500 first place cash provided by Henchcraft Racing Products might go to one of the front row starting Henchcraft Chassis teams of Rick Hench or DJ Montgomery. At the drop of the green, it was DJ getting the jump and leading all 15 laps to cross the line in 1^st position. Fellow front row starter Rick Hench came in 3^rd with Mark Strickler speeding to a fine 2^nd place at the line after starting 10^th.

This is where the tale of the night starts to twist. After visiting victory lane, in all the excitement, especially coming after his huge crash at Lincoln a few weeks ago, Montgomery made the mistake of not going straight to tech and parked his machine at his trailer. Unfortunately, this technical mistake resulted in a disqualification for DJ and his team.

Two events unfolded at that time which shows the caliber of the teams racing with Sidewinder Sprints. DJ Montgomery, although upset by the situation, handled it with aplomb and will no doubt will be determined to come back and claim his first “official” victory in the coming weeks.

The 2^nd situation revolved around the nights bonus cash sponsor, Rick Hench from Henchcraft Racing Products. Rick had crossed the line in 3^rd and after coming from the scales, Rick also absent mindedly nosed his car into his trailer on his way to tech, and although not getting out of his car and the situation not being noticed by Sidewinder officials, Rick took it upon himself to call the penalty on himself and was subsequently also disqualified.

In racing some people will try to justify their actions by the old racing adage of “It’s not cheating unless you get caught”. We (Sidewinder Sprints) are proud of the fact that our driver’s own integrity does not allow them to follow this thought process and they realize by doing so that the Series is stronger than the individual. Yes mistakes can and will happen. The caliber of a person is judged by their reactions to adversity. Thankfully our drivers lead the way and set an example for the entire racing community in this area.

Mark Strickler explained “I really hate to pick up a win this way. DJ had us covered tonight and it’s a real shame for him since this would have been his first win. Our car was working great tonight. I really want to thank Port Royal for having us. The speeds are just plain fun. You really get a feel for the speed sitting this close to the clay ! I would like to thank Rick Hench from Henchcraft Racing Products for sponsoring tonight’s race.”

This week’s Question;

Q.  With the next weekend racing being challenge races, can one of the Empire Sprint drivers finish in a podium position ?

A. To be on the podium..you must first show up.  The Empire Sprints were MIA and perhaps they are a little like the World of Outlaws… just a little intimidated by the tough PA Posse competition.

Next week’s Questions;

Q.  With the Sidewinders, having this week off before returning to Trail-Way on the 31^st, will we get to see DJ Montgomery’s first “official” win?

Sidewinder Sprints – Path Valley 07/02;

Hendershot strikes first blood in 2010

The fourth race in 7 days was always going to be a struggle for some teams to make. One team that is still fresh is the Hendershot team. After spending time on Hyper’s dyno fixing some injection issues, the Hendershot team was looking to make amends for their previous two performances this year. Obviously the bugs are well and truly fixed as Donnie was able to take the victory in the non-stop 20 lap affair.

Donnie summed up his nights performance with “Starting position helped a lot on the slick surface. We are now finding some extra time away from the farm to get up here and race some more and are really looking forward to tweaking this Henchcraft chassis to make it even faster. My brothers, Gary and Jay are the force behind this team and they dedicate a lot of time and effort to make it work. A special thanks to Ryan Greth at Hyper Racing for his dyno skills today. Obviously it worked and we were able to put the Hendershot Farms and Hendershot Siding car in the winner’s circle.”

Sidewinder Sprints – Speed Week Results

Trail-Way 06/26; Walton from heat race DQ to Feature Winner !

Lincoln 06/27; Robertson takes revenge on Lincoln

Path Valley 06/28; Walton takes 2^nd win of the week end.

Trail-Way; Walton makes history.

Speed week action began with hot and humid conditions at Trail-Way. Interstate visitors included Mike Kiser from New York and Ryan Broughton from Ohio. As hot as the weather was, one driver proved to be even hotter.  After winning his heat race, Tyler Walton came up light at the scales and was Dq’ed from his heat race finish placing Tyler on the last row for the feature. Tyler would have started on the pole but for a mere 14lbs of extra weight. Starting 17^th, Walton managed to catch race long leader Rick Hench in lapped traffic on lap 17 and make the pass for the lead and subsequent victory.

In claiming the win Tyler also created history as the first micro chassis with 13” wheels and 16 sqft wing to claim a victory. Following Tyler across the line were Rick Hench, DJ Montgomery and Ohio invader Ryan Broughton. DJ Montgomery’s 3^rd place was a welcome sight coming only 3 weeks after his huge crash at Lincoln fracturing his knee cap.

An elated Tyler explained “ We thought our green race car was jinxed. We have had all sorts of small issues leading up to this race, wheels falling off, overheating, involved in wrecks etc and then tonight we were light at the scales after the heat. Many thanks must go to my wife, Lindsey, my car owners, mum and dad, all of the team at Hyper Racing, Mike Dicely for his setup ideas with the bigger wheels and wings, Juniata Beverage, Keizer wheels and of course all of the crew that helps out. Our car tonight was perfect. I could make it stick around the bottom. It’s great to get our first Sidewinder win and hopefully the next one won’t take as long.”

Another first on the night came when Jim Campbell Jr. took the Henchcraft Challenge. Jim made a gallant attempt and finished in 9th place.

Lincoln 06/27 - Henchcraft Racing Products $500 to win; Robertson romps to victory lane.

The last time the Sidewinders appeared at Lincoln, Joe Robertson was involved in a first lap heat race incident that saw Joe pound the outside wall coming off turn two and flip ending his night early. Joe was determined to make amends this time around. Starting on the outside of the front row beside New York invader, Mike Kiser, Joe managed to take the lead entering turn one. Using the high line in turn one and the low line in turn 3, Robertson dominated the feature. Despite a caution on lap 12 bunching up the field. No one had anything for the dominate Robertson. Joe went on to take the victory by over 6 seconds.

Ben Murphy, the feature winner at the Sidewinders last Lincoln appearance won the hard charger award coming from his 11^th starting position to finish 3^rd.

The voice of Lincoln Speedway, Wayne Harper, performed the honors in victory lane and asked Joe about his victory and the people behind the scenes, “My thanks to my wife Heidi for all of her support. Many thanks to Henchcraft Racing Products for putting up the extra cash tonight. My Crew, Sean Snyder, John Robertson, Art Stephan and Steve Christ. A special thanks to Stan and Jason and all the guys at Hyper Racing. Aero Wings for all of their help, especially after destroying my wings the last time here.

Sidewinder Sprints – Path Valley 06/18/10

Robertson sheds bridesmaid status!

Normally in racing the saying goes “from hero to zero”, this week Joe Robertson turned that on it’s head. At Joe’s last race he was involved in a crash during the heat race action at Lincoln Speedway (http://www.dirtstation.com/index.php?aid=177 ) and the subsequent flip caused substantial damage and Joe was done for the night. This week Joe put the memories of the crash behind him as he mastered the dry slick Path Valley surface to visit victory lane for the first time in Sidewinder Sprints action. It wasn’t as easy as the statistics show (Joe leading every lap) especially on the lap 17 restart with defending track champion Tim Mertz on his rear bumper. Mertz had motored into 2^nd position from his 7^th starting slot and Robertson knew his last 4 laps would need to be flawless. Although Mertz tried the low line on Robertson, Mertz couldn’t get the drive that the high line provided Robertson and Joe was able to withstand the challenge and take the victory.

An obviously determined Robertson said “As of Friday we thought that we had been running pretty fast. We surely didn't know when or if we would win a race though. Its nice to finally break the bridesmaids curse! The track was not in the best shape but did offer some moisture to get a hold of. These cars really beat you up and the caution on lap 11 was much needed to get some fresh air and relieve the arm pump.” Joe continued “On the other hand, the caution on lap 17 was not wanted. At that point I had realized that track champ Mertz was in the runner up position and is always moving forward. I took a second to refocus and refused to look back and am glad to be standing here in victory lane tonight”

Path Valley’s commentator, Rob Keller then asked Joe about his crew and Joe replied “ I need to thank a lot of people. First my Wife Heidi for putting up with all the shenanigans that come along with racing, the late nights, parts bills, gone all weekend, the trash talk from Beasley and Ford and the pure addiction of it all. My Crew,  Sean Snyder, John Robertson, Art Stephan and Steve Christ. A special thanks to Stan and Jason and all the guys at Hyper Racing. CarQuest Auto Parts for the best parts at the best prices. A-Town Bar and Grill, Insta Signs, and Next Wave Electric.”

Rob then asked about his impression on the 1000cc cars and Joe shared  “ I'm very happy to be a part of the Sidewinder class. Yes, the class is seeing and has gone through some big changes in trying to promote and produce great racing. I believe it has been successful in doing so and will only get better. It’s not all about horsepower and setup become so much more important. Thanks again to all involved and I can't wait to have another run at it. See ya next week!”
