Race 1, MIR goes to John Warehime
John Warehime starts
year off with a win at MIR “Door Wars”
April 20/21, 2013 MIR/Door Wars –
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.

Bob Fort scores runner-up finish………………….
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.
