Sometimes
You're the Windshield, Sometimes You're the Bug
Well, we could tell a
few stories and indulge you in details that may or may
not be of interest. Instead, we are going the simple
route. Tom crashed out in turn one of the first lap
(again), Terry came from way back in the pack, fought
for a top five but crashed out with two laps to go.
Jody ran competitively and broke the clutch line
during a spin. Three cars, three DNF's. No season
ending damage so we will make repairs and be back in
two weeks.
On the good news side,
Kris Hillegeer won the Super Six event and you have to
go see the pics on RaceNewYork
from victory lane. All I can say is they are too cute
for words.
This week Terry &
Kris will be at Spencer Speedway for the ROC 100
qualifier. Terry will wheel the #50 ROC Mod for Tom
and Kriss will pilot Terry's #11. Tom, John and Donna
will be absent as they celebrate the wedding of their
son Daniel to Adelle Moore. In two weeks, Jody will be at Dunn Tire Raceway
Park, Lancaster, to race in the 75 lap SST Modified
special.
To take the sting off
last week's results, enjoy this video of Dire Straits - YouTube.
See you soon.

Victory at Last!
Some good advice, good fortune and some good driving
gives the Epic Ventures team their first weekly
modified victory at Spencer Speedway! We showed up
that evening with an uneasy confidence that recent
chassis changes were finally going to pay off. With
advance help from Troyer Race cars guru Bob Mueller,
and modified driver Chuck Hossfeld, plus race day
thoughts from veteran Wilbur Hebing, we now had a car
ready to capitalize on Terry's outside row two
starting spot. After taking the lead the team
nervously watched as Terry fought off the hard
challenges of Buck Catalano and Andy Jankowiak. A late
race caution gave the crew an uneasy feeling having
been in this position before only to come up short.
But on this Friday, Terry had enough to take home the
victory. After the on track celebration completed, the
pit side congratulations continued from family
friends, fans and fellow competitors.

Mid
July Progress Report (EV is working hard and learning
to play well with others)
Let's recap the last
couple weeks and take a look at how the season is
progressing for our team and our friends.
Team owner Tom Fecteau
was given a pleasant surprise when shortly before the
July 4th double features race he was informed by 2007
Mechanic of the Year Doug Cheetham and his son Terry
that the yellow #50 SST Mod was ready to race. This
would be Tom's first trip back behind the wheel in
2008. Tom decided to "buy in" to the rained
out feature from June for the #5 & #50 and was
rewarded with a 5th for Terry and a 18th for Tom who
ran out of gas with 3 laps to go. Yes .... Click
