Open All Night

It had been over 10 years since I had been there, but May 6th marked my return to Mountain Speedway.  I was a college student at the time and was amazed by the scenery of the track.  It really is on the side of a mountain, and the road leading to it is a severe incline from which you can peer over at the track – if you dare!

• Races got in today, despite some drizzling. Feature went caution-free & Michael finished. Throw in a (peculiar) top-10 & was a good day #
• Rain friday, overcast at track last night, supposed to be sunny today…so where is it!!! #

• Ok God – I get it – only asphalt racing this weekend. Williams grove might thank you for rain? #
• 2days of racing in weekend? Amateurish! Michael makes it 3 by stopping at Williams Grove on way home to NJ. Mmm 410 sprint cars… #
• Michael is heading out east for his first competitive event of the year with @ATQMRA on Sunday. Packing an umbrella to ensure it stays dry. #

• 45 degree weather with 20mph winds – still an improvement over what was in NY Saturday. Opening session success with 70+ laps completed. #

It was nearly a month ago now that HalfBakedSchemes Racing unloaded a valuable member of the group. Stan left the stable so that he can be refreshed and race again.

After blowing an engine towards the end of the season back in 2009, with the team indecisive as to future plans, he sat dutifully in the garage.

With it looking increasingly unlikely that the Team would jump back into the ModLite ranks, it only make sense to not keep him caged up any longer.

We will miss him (especially his character-building oversize numbers) and hope to keep track of him as he races on!
