Big congrats on your podium finishes.
It's also good to see Rob there, right behind you.

[DGRacer]

Way to go Noose. You are now officially a contender.

[Dave Reed]

Great job old boy!.. Just hope its the start of many podium finishes...

[Roho21]

2 podiums! Way to go Noose! See he can do more than paint!

[Mopar Rob]

Maybe that Can-Am podium on Swiss's flat track will come a little earlier than the Sano XVII?


Good job

...He is stoked to put a slap down on those Grrr boys!!!!!

I can't wait to see him put a slap down on Hershman at the R4.

Way to go Noose!

[Tex]

WTG, Yersey Yoe!

I bet you had more than just ONE Blue Moon!

[Chris Barnes]

Noose,

Is that my Can Am car for the race in Thomasville, GA ?? You da man!!

[tonyp]

That's why we had snow down here, tornados and an earthquake...

[Chris Barnes]

Maybe it was because New Orleans made the Super Bowl. The announcer from New Orleans said "Pigs have flown, Hell has frozen over, the Saints are going to the Super Bowl!!!"

[Ron Hershman]

WTG, Yersey Yoe!

I bet you had more than just ONE Blue Moon!

maybe he had some before the racing started???

I though I also heard that announcer also say Noose made the podium not once, but twice!!!

Slot Spot in Neptune, NJ hosted the Retro East TM traveling circus in our Winter series tour and it turned out to be a fun filled day for sure. The "Beast of the East" would be the track for the Can-Am race and 21 racers were ready to see if they could master the "kink" in that back straight.


Tech went smooth (thank you!)
Concours was won by Roger Ruggieri (middle), Randy Kohr 2nd (left) and John Streisguth 3rd (right)



We got qualifying underway. Randy Kohr took TQ with a 5.502.


The sit outs for the A Main were as follows:

Randy Kohr 5.502
Jay Kisling 5.546
Noose 5.628
Mike Iles 5.643
Dave DeMott 5.688
Harry Boudreaux 5.698

The C Main got underway and it didn't take long for Ray Carlisi to shake the bugs out from an adventurous Saturday (uh hum) to take the lead and hold onto it for the win. Young Charley Levering took 2nd and Jersey John Molnar took 3rd.

Charley, Ray, Jersey John


C Main Results

Ray Carlisi - 225 laps - 5.661 best time

Steve Levitsky - 184 - 6.220
Wes Pikunis - 150 - 6.130

This was Larry Labounty's first retro race. Welcome Larry!

The B Main was one tight race right from the beginning. Rob Kurylo got the lead and held on for the win. Mike Katz, Chris Radisich, Ray Carlisi were all exchanging the 2nd place spot with Ray taking it at the end for the other move-up and Chris just beating Mike for the podium spot.

Ray, Rob, Chris

Rob Kurylo - 234 laps - 5.800 best time

John Streisguth - 220 - 5.848
Vinny Spina - 210 - 5.898
Roger Ruggieri - 177 - 6.095

The A Main got going and a first lap foo pa had Jay Kisling and yours truly at the back of the pack. Randy got out to a quick lead and was to hold it the rest of the race. Jay got loose and some had some troubles. Rob Kurylo was driving like Rob..never deslotting and working his way up the pack. I got hooked up started my way backup. Harry Da Horse, Dave DeMott, Ray Carlisi and Mike Iles were shifting positions now with Dave taking command. Rob and I battled back and forth for 2nd place. We started the last heat tied with Rob just ahead but with me on a better lane. So yes..there is a slot god and lo and behold I finally got a podium spot in a series and finally gave up my hold on the "Best of the Rest" award! LOL

This track was the scene for the GT Coupe race and by the amount of entries it done scared one heck of a lot of guys out the door! LOL We still had 15 racers though and the fun was to begin.


We have only had one retro race on this track (besides the Jail Door GP cars) and that was back in April 2009 with Can-Am cars. This was going to prove to be interesting as some of the better flat track drivers were in the field and hearing the lap times for practice I am sure also made some say no way.

Concours for this race was won by John Streisguth with his very cool looking Martini Chevron (center) with Pete Linszky taking second (left) and Randy Kohr 3rd (right).



Jay Kisling made it very clear he was going to be fast on this track and did so by taking the TQ spot with a 4.6236. Chris Radisich wasn't far behind him either.



Here were the sit outs for the A Main

Jay Kisling 4.6236
Chris Radisich 4.6405
Randy Kohr 4.8761
Noose 4.8789
Roger Ruggieri - 5.0128
Ray Carlisi - 5.0213

The B Main was run as a 9 man round robin for the 2 move up spots. Flat Track Dave DeMott jumped out to the lead and held onto it for the 1st move-up. The battle for the 2nd one was on between John Streisguth and Mike Katz with Fred Correnti not far behind them. John drove a brilliant red lane and was able to keep with Mike before he finally overtook him for 2nd.

John, Dave, Mike


The A main proved to be a demonstration race by Chris and Jay for sure as they flew around this track with ease. The lead bounced back and forth between them until Chris finally got it and held it. Meanwhile Randy Kohr and I were trying to get the 3rd place spot. We were tied for the last couple of heats then I got a 1 lap lead but had to go to ed lane. We started the last heat tie and I got out in front again and held on. Dang..whoda thunk!

Well that's it. A fun filled day for all. Thanks to Chris of Slot Spot for hosting a great event and for the tremendous pizza lunch! Thanks too all for the congrats too for me. They were very much appreciated.

Up next: Can-Ams and Stockcars at Hudson Valley Raceway on February 7, 2010. It will be the last of the Stockcar races for the Winter series so we should know who the champ of that class will be! The rest of the points standings will be posted soon.
