Seco June
Arroyo
Seco Raceway gets blown away - Just as
the first pair of Pro cars came up to race the wind kicked up and filled
the sky with dirt. Only 4 or 5 pairs of Pro cars made it down before
they had to stop the race. They tried to wait it out and clean the track
but the wind just covered the track with dirt so the ASR staff made
the decision to cancel the race.
There
were 65 cars entered and quite a few exhition cars like the blown trucks
of Southwest Custom Trucks and Redneck Racing, Crazy Al and Charlotte's
blown 57 Chevy Nomad, the Backdraft Racing Jr. Dragsters and four big
'ol Hudsons doing some grudge racing.
JD
St.Cyr from El Paso was driving the Southwest Custom Trucks' Blown Alcohol
55 Chevy. He made a shakedown run to
feel out the track and ran in the mid 9's but was unable to come back
for another pass because of the wind.
 
Charlotte
and Crazy Al's awesome 57 Chevy Delivery
- Al and Charlotte bolted on a bigger supercharger the night before
the race but lost the blower belt after doing a wicked screaming burnout.
Damn, it sounds good!
The
Redneck Racin Crew from
Arizona made their easy 9 Second shakedown run also in the all steel
truck!
These
beautiful Hudsons came out to do a little friendly grudge racing for
bragging rights. The two tone green Hudson is Mr. Bennet's from El Paso.
Sammy "The Fireball" Franco from Anthony, NM
Sammy got second place at the last Thunder
Alley race but decided to try out Arroyo Seco - this was Sammy's first
time bringing the original Fireball to ASR.
This
crazy dude was riding the wheelie bars about 1/3 of the way down the
track every pass! He has the wheelie bars adjusted up so the front tire
is about a foot off the ground! Looks crazy!
Walter
Andrews from El Paso ran a pair of 9.6's
and still plans to open up the bottle once he gets everything straightened
out. Walter spun out and tagged the wall at the Thunder Alley Friday
night test and tune but got away with minimal damage.. I think he just
scratched up the front end.
Ray
Villareal from El Paso has been sitting
out this year at ASR so Ray Jr. can try out his luck in the West Texas
Express Nova. He's at the top of the Modified points! This is a proven
car and is up for sale with the matching trailer.
Patrick
Muller from Silver City, NM was driving
this backhalf Torino in the Mod class. I'm guessing this is his new
car so he can park his original Ford Cobra Torino.
Louie
"the Outlaw" Vasquez from El Paso
is a big supporter of ASR and pitched in trophys for the Pro, Mod and
Street class winners!
Louie
was racing his Monte Carlo in Pro and his wife was running her Chrysler
in the Street class.
