Friday August 27 Columbus 151 Speedway

DIck Moore Memorial Race Night

It was a perfect night for racing once again and 9 drivers took to the low banks of Columbus for the open wheel challenge on Dick Moore Memorial Race Night. The number 4 of Kyle Lynn was quickest on his first lap out and he could not improve on his time on his remaining 2 laps. This will be a factor late on in the evening. Justin (just in time) Lindeman was late to the track but was able to get 3 laps in at the end of late model qualifying. Pretty good times with little time to set the car up.

The Mini Mods qualifying was a battle royale as the 2th of Ken Johnson was finally able to beat the 97 of Jerry Guiliano who has been able to beat 2th for the past few races

Rascal/FIRA

4 Kyle Lynn 13.248

38 Vern Brown 13.384

17 Tim Roach 13.625

07 Justin Lindeman 13.842

Mini Mods

2th Ken Johson 14.401

97 Jerry Guiliano 14.480

5 Barry Trusky 14.656

18 Jason Bies 15.258

7 John Demay 15.688

Running combined heats and features the cars lined up inverted within each group. The 07 of Lindeman was on the pole and led them to the green Side by side with the 17 of Roach they dueled wheel to wheel for the first 2 laps until Roach took advantage of a push and dove down to take the lead. With Mirrors full of yellow to the inside and blue to the outside, Lynn and Brown fought it out as Roach ran the low groove leaving the slick high side for all challenges. There were none as Lynn seemed to slow as the race progressed and Brown's tires went away and he got loose.

The Mini Mods race was even tighter as Johnson, Guiliano and Trusky fought for the checker. Tight racing for the complete race but it was Guiliano who was first to the line.

Final results were Roach, Lynn, Brown, Lindeman, Guiliano, Johnson, Trusky, Demay and Bies

The 15 lap feature was an invert of the heat results for both divisions. The 07 of Justin time Lindeman paced the field slow hoping to use the torque of the 600cc snowmobile motor to get the jump on the motorcycles powered cars of Roach and Brown. Out of turn 4 Justin led the field as planned. Lynn Brown and Roach all raced hard just feet behind the frontrunner Lindeman. Brown's tire problem and lack of rear grip were still an issue and Roach took advantage out of two to make the pass. Lynn had already overtaken the 07 and Roach had to take his time to make a clean pass. The chase was on. Lynn was fast but as noted earlier, it seemed as if the tires went away or the motor laid down a bit as the laps clicked off. With almost a half a straight lead, Roach had Lynn in his crosshairs. The youth of Lynn showed as he struggled to overtake lap traffic and the lead evaporated. Roach showed patience as the two closed in on a lap car. Lynn run up fast with nowhere to go as Roach drove in deep and high to pass on the unpassable high side. Once out front there was only a lap and a half until the checker and there were no challenges

The Mini Mod finish was spectacular as well once again with the 2th edging out the 97 and the 5 cars. Ken Johnson was finally able to unseat the the 97 of Giliano. I wish I could have seen more of the race between Ken Jerry and Barry but from speaking to fans in the stands, it was quite a show.

Feature finish was Roach. Lynn, Brown, Lindeman, Johnson, Guiliano, Trusky, Bies and Demay

It was an honor to have my picture taken in the winners circle with Mrs Moore on Dick Moore night but also with one of the best racers on the track in Ken Johnson.

Vern Brown's tire issues were unusual for the front running downtown Vern Brown

Track security was called to the pits as it seemed everyone wanted to shake my hand or get an autograph I think. That really wasn't necessary.

September 12 at Slinger is next

Gates open at 9AM

YES THAT IS RIGHT
9AM with racing at noon for the lions club and then I think the regular program after that

Tim

Once again the work things get in the way of racing so I apologize for the delay in the report. Only 15 years to retirement and I can race full time!!!!!!!!

I know it is hard to get away to race on a Wednesday but for those that want to know, Jefferson is a blast to run. Two different corners had the drivers running different lines and different set ups.

This night, Jerry Guiliano and Vern Brown had it right

Vern Brown had a fast lap that would put him close to the front of the late model field and with more track time I am sure he would be able to eclipse that mark.

On the Mini Mod side, the always fast Ken Johnson was timed at 15.558 seconds which put him ahead of some of the Indy cars. That is some incredible speed for the small cars.

The Dash for the Mini Mods was close and tight racing and you could throw a blanket over the four cars.

Lindeman and Demay ran side by side for the first few laps and Guiliano and Johnson wisely waited for an opportunity to pass rather than going three wide.

The door was opened when Justin pushed a bit and it was all that Jerry in the 97 needed to get by.

The 2th car might have caught him but the dash was over before he could mount the charge.

In the combined heat and feature, it was Brown and Guiliano once again up front.

Brown taking both with Roach coming up short. The 17 made some changes for the feature but was only able to hang side by side with Brown who eventually pulled away to take the checker by a half straight.

Jerry was the class of the field all night although I believe the 2th was encountering some fuel issues which may have hurt his chances of challenging the 97

The winners circle was visited by Brown in the heat and Guiliano in the feature adding some confusion to the officials who may not have been aware of our two division format.

Just another great night of racing

Slinger Rain Date - September 12 - Details to follow soon.

FUNDAY SUNDAY

It was another great day for racing and the weather was a typical mid summer day, hot and humid. Unlike the normal night racing we are all used to, the Sunday Lions Club race was an afternoon show. The track was hot and slick and 9 drivers took to the 1/4 mile Columbus track.

Practice was first up and the drivers took to the track to shake down their cars. As practice was almost over the 17 of Roach suffered a lower heim failure on the right front pulling the car into the wall of the front straight leaving a blackmark all the way to turn one.

As the 17 was dropped off in the pits the work started to repair the damage and hopefully make the show. I want to thank everyone who pitched in, Vern Brown Dennis Lyne and Mike McNulty especially.

Qualifying was starting and the 17 was last to take laps but at least it held together.

Qualifying results

Kyle Lyne #4 13.370

Vern Brown #38 13.374

Jason Dull #07 13.558

Tim Roach #117 14.047

Kai McNulty #14 14.317

Min mod fast time was set by Ken Johnson in the 2th at 14.313 An incredible lap!!!!!

My apologies for not getting the rest of the times but I was busy fixing the car. I believe it was 2th followed by Guiliano, Trusky and Demay

The Rascal Outlaws had an extra bit of track time with a 6 lap Dash

Coming to the green the 17 of Roach was quickest to the gas and got the jump on Kai McNulty who was out for his first race of the season. The racing was close in the sprint but unbelievably it was Roach in the 17 taking the green. A car that was in doubt of making the show and who's driver wanted to load up and go home. Thanks again to all that helped.

The field finished as Roach, Brown, Dull, McNulty and Lyne

In the Mini Mod heat it was hot and slick and John Demay showed the group the quick way around the tight Columbus track. On pole, John held his line low and callenged everyone to pass on the outside groove. Nobody could hold the high line in the heat and as the raced for second place, Demay drove off and claimed victory in the heat. Demay was followed by Trusky Guiliano and Johnson.

The Rascal heat was up next and from my starting position at tail it was incredible to watch the 38 of Brown and the 4 of Lyne duke it out. Also in the mix was the 07 of Jason Dull who was in the car for only his second time yet was up front racing for the lead. The 14 of McNulty hadn't lost any speed even though he has raced a limited schedule and he raced with Roach side by side. In the end, it was the 38 of Brown taking the checker followed by Lyne Dull Roach and McNulty.

The feature is normally a combined event but was run as separate events for each division. The Mini Mod feature was a close race with side by side racing and the night was all Trusky. Demay, Johnson and Guiliano tried but the could not catch the the always impeccable Blue Mini Mod. My apologies but as the Mini Mods were going to the finish, my view from the staging lane was blocked and I missed the finish but I believe it was Guiliano followed by Johnson and Demay.

The Rascal feature was next up with a brief delay due to the 07 of Dull having a quick release steering wheel fitting failure. It was probably best to find the failure as we lined up rather than going into one and having the wheel come off. With McNulty on the pole again, he was not about to let Roach beat him to the green again. Maintaining a very slow pace, it was an exciting start as they went 3 wide through one and two. McNulty pushed up a bit in 2 and opened the door to Brown on the low side. Brown was the class of the field this night and it left Roach and Lyne fighting for the runner up position. The extra laps to get the Dull ride off track may have hurt the 4 car as heat slows the sled motors and the fuel injected bike motor in the Roach ride was just getting warmed up. The 38 of Brown seemed to slow in the final laps but it was not enough to allow the field to catch the always fast and track record holder.

Thanks to all who came out and we will see you at Jefferson.

Also note the rain date for Slinger is September 12th

Partial story Time trial times to follow

An unbelievable night at Columbus

11 cars in the pits and ready to race on Friday July 23. The weather was questionable but nobody could question the dedication this group of racers has and they were rewarded with a night of no rain Friday is hard for many as some in the group drive a long way just to race. The great people at Columbus have always been great to work with and got everyone who was there before the end of qualifying out on track and timed in. Even the late arrivals were allowed on track after the timing system was removed just to shake the cars down. Columbus is a great track.

With a large group of cars we were able to run separate heats for each division.

As the 6 mini mods hit the track for their 8 lap heat, they lined up inverted by time.

John Demay led the group to the line with Barry Trusky outside

The racing was close, close enough that Ken Johnson had some minor contact and bent some sheet metal but that was not enough to keep him from moving to the front

In a surprise drive move the seat of the number 1 was filled with Justin Lindeman who also had his Rascal car in the pits

The 18 of Jason Bies and the 97 of Gerry Guiliano were in the thick of it all night.

In the end it was the 2th of Ken Johnson taking the checkered flag

2th        Johnson
5          Trusky
97         Guiliano
1          Lindeman
7          Demay
18         Bies

Up next was the 6 lap sprint for the Rascal cars. Tim Roach was to lead the field but in an incredible ballsy move he chose the outside lane and challenged everyone by giving them the fast low lane.. That sounds a lot better than I screwed up and forgot where I was supposed to start. When the green flew it was Roach to the lead for the first laps but soon an overheating issue would force him off.

Vern Brown, Kyle Lynn, Jason Dull and Josh Felder put on an incredible show for the fans with close exciting racing

Dull was inpressive jumping into the Lindeman car with no seat time and finishing third. Jason is a former FIRA driver who has recently been racing midgets but as tonight showed, if it has wheels, he will drive the heck out of it.

The combined feature had each group inverted but still separated with the Rascal cars out front followed by the Mini Mods. The starts of this division are always exciting with the groups separating but with passing and close racing everywhere. Out front it Roach on point but not for long. The Kid Kyle Lynn was on a mission and was soon to pass. The moisture in 3 and 4 was always in play and made for some excitement as the cars tried to avoid this area. As the 4, 38 and 17 raced hard lap trraffic brought the group together again but the 4 was too fast tonight and would not relinquish the lead. As Brown and Roach dueled contact was made out of 4 as Roach got into the wet and started to come around. Brown had no where to go and the contact sent Roach to the pits with major damage and Brown was slowed with alignment issues.

The racing in the Mini Mods division was just as excititng with wheel to wheel racing all over. My results show th 97 of Guiliano leading the group at the checker but I apologize as I did not see it from the track. I am sure Gerry and 2th put on the typical great lead and pleased the crowd

Special notes

Nobody works harder that Rob Pollock and Dennis Lynn in the pits helping out other crews and working with the line up.

The whole Mini Mod group works just as hard helping each out whether it be unloading or setting up the cars or even fine tuning the body work with a sledge hammer.

Thanks to all who raced

See you at the Sunday Aug 1 Lions Club Race

I need confirmation on start times if anyone has it, please post

Video of the July 17, 2010 Dells Race is now on the site, check out the video link above.

A hot and crazy night at the Dells Raceway Park

Saturday was a great night to race but just getting there was difficult for three of the drivers.

Mark Findley and Tim Roach both suffered trailer tire failures just south of the Dells while the Ohio drivers Dale Aikman and Mik Guiher (YES!!!! they drove 9 hours to compete with some of Wisconsins fastest cars) had injector issues. Everyone was safe and able to get to the track on time.

The Dells Raceway Park run a great program and Saturday was no exception. Two Looonnggg practice sessions allowed the drivers to make sure their rides were ready. The heat in the track was incredible and the track was slick but you would never know it by the qualifying times. Vern Brown led the field with an incredible 14.008 second lap, a tenth of a second quicker than the late models.

Time Trails

38 Vern Brown 14.008

4 Kyle Lynn 14.211

43 Mark Findley 14.361

17 Tim Roach 14.520

48 Josh Felder 15.533

88 Mike Guiher 16.270

3 Mike Findley 17.604

73 Dale Aikman no time

With the threat of rain the program was going to move fast. A four car inversion had Roach on the pole for the 8 lap heat sprint, Rookies in staus only Mike Findley and Josh Felder fell in behind the fast four. The Ohio invaders rounded out the field as we went to the green. A couple of hot laps to scrub and heat tires (not really needed since it was 95 degrees out) and we were ready. The 17 of Roach strategically held back and as Findley eased up on the throttle, Roach was quick to hammer it hard and the white log was off to a quick start. The racing was tight and fast. Check out the race videos from the Dells and from the incar camera of Findley on the Video page of this site. You could throw an umbrella over the front four and they would have appreciated the shade but it was race time. Brown Lynn and Findley were wheel to whell and fighting hard for every inch. Brown was able to work his way to the front and waged war with Roach for the lead. Side by side the racing was incredible. Brown drove deeper and deeper into the corner ans took the lead from Roach but the racing was still on. With two laps remaining Brown under pressure from Roach went too deep and pushed up into the corner leaving the door open. Side by side racing was on again. The last lap had Roach and Brown side by side exiting 2 and coming up on lap traffic. THREEEEEEEE WIDE into 3 and it was Roach out front for the heat win.

Close racing was all over. Lynn and Findley fought hard for third and fourth with Findley ahead by inches The rookies of Mike Findley and Josh Felder ran great races as did Aikman and Guiher maintaining lines and getting faster every lap

heat finish is Roach, Brown, Findley Lynn, Felder, Findley, Aikman and Guiher

Up next in the feature showed how much the Ohio invaders want to race. Battery issues had the team stumped but ingenious thinking and hard work had them back on track. A tow vehicle battery and a driver switch in the cars had them on track again.Up front was an invert of the front four from the heat with Lynn and the older of the Findley brothers (a lot older) on the front row. A fast start and the race was on. Wheel to wheel action for the whole race. Brown was the class of the field moving from his third starting position to the lead and never looking back. Brown stretched the lead but the second third and fourth positions were nose to tail. Felder and the young gun Findley ran strong and fast. The smiles on their faces after the race showed just how much fun this racing is. Aikman had a shocking finish as the shade tree mechanic solution came up short with the batteryshorting to the seat. More duct tape!!!!!!! Guiher was behind the wheel of the 88 mini spring and piloted the ride ride safely to the finish, first night out in the car and it was impressive.

Check out the video on this and you will see for yourself.

Feature finish was Brown, Mark Findley, Lynn, Roach, Mike Findley, Felder. Guiher and Aikman

SPECIAL NOTE

Even with a bounty on his head in the form of cold hard cash, Mark Findley silenced all the trash talkers as they hid at home afraid of a whoopin. Mark was all action racing hard and finishing up front.

A new winner at Slinger!!!

Mother nature made it to the winners circle Saturday at Slinger Super Speedway beating out nine drivers who were ready to make a challenge. After drying the track twice the third thunderstorm rolled in and the track rolled over calling the race due to weather and the inability to get a full program in. In the shadows of the race haulers of Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Ross Kenseth and Rich Bickle who were practicing for Nationals the next day, the Open Wheel Outlaws waited for their chance to turn laps as fast as the big names. The races may have beed cancelled but there was as much laughing and lying as ever. Bench racing and beer was still fun.

Hope to see everyone out on Saturday July 17 at the Dells

June 22, 2010 - Delayed report from Jefferson Speedway

My apologies for the delayed report but I can't find the driver's name of the 42 former Jim Thiel car and I wanted to make sure he was included.

Let me begin by saying those that did not make it to the race missed an opportunity to race on the world famous Jefferson Speedway, Wisconsin's Action Track. Having never been on the track before, I had a blast! The track is wide, smooth and fast. The 1/3 mile track has different banking and multiple grooves and was well prepared and run by the management of this great track. Now for the best part, a Wednesday night show and we had the best car count of the year.

The program was running fast and there was a lot of racing to take care of. Two long practice sessions allowed the racers to shake down the cars and get familiar with the track,

3 laps of time trials was exciting and Dr. 2th Ken Johnson led the mini mods on the time sheet even though it was his first night out, only about 1/2 second slower than fast time qualifier Vern Brown. I did not have time to get all the time trials as there was too much fun going on in the pits.

Here is what is great about this group, everyone was helping everyone, Competitors working to get their competitors faster.

Ken and Jerry Guilliano working to get the fuel pressure issue solved. Everyone working to get the throttle cable issue resolved on the Jason Bies car (yes you can spin out on the warm up lap if it sticks) Ken Johnson putting the Barry Trusky car on scales to set weight percentages and doing whatever we could for evryone else.

Now back to the results. A fast dash for the mini mods was exactly that. Jerry with his fuel pressure issue solved smoked the field to take the dash.

The heat and feature netted the same results with Vern Brown leading the outlaws and Jerry Guilliano up front of the Mini Mods but there was racing all over the track. The feature came to an exciting finish as the fast out law cars were just coming up to lap the Minis and were four wide at the stripe.

A great night of racing, if you missed it, you missed a great race

See everyone at Slinger.

June 11, 2010 - History was made on Friday night at Columbus Speedway when the combined open wheel challenge of the Mini Mods, Rascal Outlaws and Formula Indy met for their second race at the track that Vern Brown calls home.

The weather called for rain all day but weathermen are like racecar drivers, they lie.

As the cars rolled out for practice Roach was left high and dry in the pits changing a kinked chain but luck would follow him all night. Just as they were about to roll on the track a sudden rain shower drenched the track and the drivers except Roach.

After a short drying period and the cancellation of practice(as expected) 3 lap time trails were a challenge. Cold tires and dust from the pits made for slower than normal times. Vern Brown paced the field at 13.433 seconds, a half second off his track record.

38 Vern Brown 13.433

4 Kyle Lynn 13.619

17 Tim Roach 13.725

1 Scott Hastings 15.003 (fast qualifier for Mini Mods)

7 John Demay 15.705

18 Jason Bies 16.292

21 Dennis Stitz 17.026

The Columbus track personnel did a great job to move the program along so that the show would be complete and the heat race was a sprint. Both groups lined up with a complete invert except for rookie Stitz starting tail. Roach led the field to the green but it was Kyle Lynn who won the drag race into one. As the field sorted out, Lynn was able told hold off a charging Vern Brown who ran out of laps to catch Kyle.

Scott Hastings continued his dominance in the Mini Mod division taking the checkered flag just ahead of John Demay.

Heat finish was Lynn, Brown, Roach, Hastings, Demay, Bies and Stitz.

The feature line up was invert again putting Roach back on pole and he was determined not to be beaten by the "kid" or the "old man". A slower pace to the green had Roach down a gear looking for the hole shot out of turn 4. As luck would have it, the green flew just as Brown's tires were rolling over the small wet area in the high groove of 4. It was an amazing shot of luck as Roach exploded out of 4 to take the lead which he would not relinquish. The choice of a lower gear had the car working hard and bumping the rev limiter 3/4 of the way down the straight. Giving up a bit of straightaway speed was more than made up by the car rocketing out of the corner. Roach held the low line and dared anyone to pass high. They tried but could not make it work. Not on this night.

Vern Brown was able to catch Lynn and claim second place. Kyle was determined to catch Roach and tried every line but opened the door for Brown late in the race.

Scott Hastings had the brake rotor red hot as he wheeled the Mini Mod around the slick Columbus low banks. Scott swept the night in the Mini Mod division taking fast time, the heat win and the feature. Great race Scott!!!!!

The feature finish was

17 Tim Roach

38 Vern Brown

4 Kyle Lynn

1 Scott Hastings

7 John Demay

18 Jason Bies

21 Dennis Stitz

Up next is the Lions Club race on Wednesday June 16 at Jefferson Speedway.

Hope to see everyone there.

May 21, 2010 - Opening day for the combined racing open wheel challenge featuring the Rascal Outlaws, FIRA and the Mini Mods at Columbus 151 speedway was a huge success. The night started off with hot lap practice sessions and unfortunately Justin Lindemann detonated the motor in his Mini Mod in spectacular fashion. A connecting rod failure knocked a baseball size hole in the case. Justin's night was not over though as he also had his Rascal Outlaw car and the team driver let Justin jump back into that ride.

Time trials were tricky as cold tires and a dusty track kept drivers from posting track record times but Vern Brown was at the front with a 13.429 lap to lead all racers. Scott Hastings led the Mini Mods with an impressive 14.821 lap.

Vern Brown 13.429

Kyle Lynn 13.600

Tim Roach 14.035

Justin Lindemann 14.808

Scott Hastings 14.821

Jason Bies 15.078

John Demay 15.608

The combined heat had the Rascal Outlaws and FIRA cars out front followed by the Mini Mods. Two races within one provided lots of action. On cold tires the drivers had to work the throttle to maintain control and work their way through the field. Kyle Lynn led the group followed by Vern Brown, Tim Roach and Justin Lindemann. The was close racing in the Mini Mods group with Jason Bies taking the win followed by Demay and Hastings.

The 15 lap feature was fast and furious. A gear change in the pits had the 17 car of Roach screaming out of the corner and hitting the rev limiter at the end of the straight. Engine temps were north of 230 degrees but the car was flying. Roach led the field for the first 10 laps and he was pulling away. Lap traffic proved that racing sometimes involves contact. After passing Demay in the front straight the dueling pair of Bies and Hastings were entering turn 1. Both cars took the low line and the 17 moved high to make the pass. The 18 of Bies pushed up hard perhaps hitting some moisture and the 17 dove low to make the pass but the 18 starting to spin came down and the right rear of the 17 contacted to front wing of the 18. The 17 suffered chain failure and was done as was the 18 with the damaged nose. Both drivers were OK.

On the restart it was Brown and Lynn in a hotly contested sprint to the finish. At the line it was Downtown Vern Brown outpacing Kyle "the KID" Lynn. Rounding out the field it was Hastings, Demay, Roach, Bies and Lindemann.

A great night of racing. Next up is Columbus again on June 11.

See you there

Tim

May 1, 2010 - Check out our new "Classified" page by clicking the button below:

April 27, 2010 - Race season is finally here and the schedule is almost complete. The first race will be Friday May 21st which is just 3 weeks away. I hope everyone is ready for another great year of racing.

The Columbus race will be combined with the MINI MODS and run as we did last year. If you need track time, keep in mind that Columbus runs practice Wednesday nights and Rockford on Thursdays if you need to shake your car down. If you know you will be at the race, drop me an e-mail so I can plan for pit set up and to let the MINI's and the track know in advance on what we should expect. Get to Columbus early as we always have lots of practice time. Time trials were 3 laps but may change and the heat and features are based on car count. CAR COUNT is critical. Lets get everyone out early. If you need help or parts, let someone know so we can help.

Tim

3-20-2010 - The Rascal Outlaws would like to welcome J C Stanelle to the club. J C comes with experience in Legends and Late models as well as other divisions and will be piloting the former Jm Thiel Outlaw racer. J C is excited to join a group of dedicated racers who want to both race and have fun. Welcome J C !!!!!

As we get closer to race season, the schedule continues to firm up and I will post when dates are added.

If you are not going to race and want to sell, please post to the web. I have had a number of calls about people looking at getting into racing. Also consider putting someone else in the seat or team drive and share costs.

It is all about car count and we want as many cars out on track

Rockford has an open practice on April 3 from noon until 4pm. It is a perfect time to get the car out and shake the bugs out so that we are ready to go first night out.

Tim
