A Memorial Day tribute to our veterans @ Capitol Raceway

An awesome tribute to our vets and a reminder of their sacrifices for our freedom.  They strapped these vets into four race cars with
passenger seats and belts.  Sent them down the track and honored them in the winners circle as the real Winners of our freedom.

Ronnie "Wildfire" Evans passes

    

Friend, Ronnie Evans passed away of a heart attack on Friday, May 10, 2013. Ronnie a well known drag racer from Gilbertsville,
PA, started his racing career back in the 1960's running a 1955 Chevrolet with assistance from his father prior to stepping up to a 1962
Chevrolet. The car competed in B/S with a 409 engine. He campaigned the car for many years before taking over the driving chores of
the 1967 273" powered Plymouth Valiant in 1968/69 from his friend Lamar Benner. The car ran out of the Stahl Headers shop and was
capable of running .3 under the then current record. In the eighties he got to work on his 1962 "Wildfire" Chevrolet running at several
tracks around the east coast and attending many Chevrolet car shows. Ronnie continued working on the "62 finally getting the car to run
in the 9-second range still with the "old" W-motor! Ronnie, 68 years old, had battled diabetes for many years and despite the complications
from the disease it never seemed to slow him down. In the past few years, Ronnie completed a frame-off restoration of the 1961 409
Biscayne tribute car of the famed "Old Reliable driven by Dave Strickler and tuned by Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins for Terry Brennan.
R.I.P Ronnie! (5/11/2013)

Race 1, MIR goes to John Warehime

John Warehime starts year off with a win at MIR “Door Wars”
Bob Fort scores runner-up finish………………….

April 20/21, 2013 MIR/Door Wars – Race number one kicked off the season in grand fashion for the 422 Allstars Nostalgia Super Stock
Series racers with lovely weather on Saturday and Sunday after the heavy rains that hit the Northeast on Friday evening. At 2012 event
at MIR, the race had to be postponed due to a surprise hurricane thrashing the Mid-Atlantic States knocking out the electric at the track.

The 422 Allstars saw twenty-six entries qualify for eliminations with Tony Silipena qualifying in the number one spot with a .21 reaction
time in his nine second 1967 Ford Fairlane. The number two qualifier was eventual winner, John Warehime, driving his 1966 Chevelle. A week
prior, John driving his other race car, an L/SA 1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass, at the NED Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series event held in Dinwiddie, VA,
where John qualified number 42 out of 71 entries and went two rounds prior to getting taken out by Dan Fletcher.

After qualifying on Saturday eliminations got underway on Sunday with several drivers starting to wade through the field exerting themselves
after the long winterlayoff. 2012 422 Allstars champion, Kevin Grasson moved into the semis in an all Mopar  matching up against the Jack Werst
inspired “Jersey Duke II” 1964 Plymouth Belvedere owned and driven by Bob Fort, Jr. Bob nailed the tree big-time with an awesome .001
reaction time to Kevin’s .055. and breakout 9.847 elapsed time on his 9.85 index. Fort ran a 9.570 on his 9.50 index at 139.96 mph charge.
On the other side of the semifinals, the Ford versus Chevy matchup saw the 2010 champ, John Warehime meet 2011 champ Ed Youmans. At the
call Youmans was a no show who succumbed to breakage. Warehime made his pass running a 10.173 elapsed time on his 10.05 index
.055, 107.30 to move into the final alongside Bob Fort.

The final once again pitted Warehime against Fort with Bob Fort, Jr. pushing the tree notching a too quick -.032 reaction time and slowing to a
12.479, 77.80 pass as John, who left first clicked off a .047, 10.102, 127.69 run on his 10.05 index.

The next event, Race #2 will roll into Capitol Raceway, also in Maryland on Saturday, May 25th. For additional info check out the 422 Allstars

Oaks, PA.  Wanna relive the factory Super Stock wars of the 60’s. The 422 All Star Nostalgia Super Stock Series
will allow fans to do just that. All 60’s big blocks, all lettered, dual quads, all motor, all cool,  no slicks on the wrong
end of the car, no cars that came to America on a boat. Just plain old classic Detroit Iron
with open exhausts and not a prayer of ever being driven on the street.

The show consists of 427 Fords and Chevy’s in addition to Chrysler Hemi and wedge big blocks with a dose of
AMC  and Pontiac big block power. Many original factory drivers and true legends of the sport who are willing to
talk with fans and relive the “Golden Age of Drag Racing”. A one day show that will move quickly on the track
schedule with minimal breakdowns and a .400 Sportsman tree that can reduce or eliminate red lights.
