SCORR MAYhem

SCORR made its way back to the Cattaraugus Indian Reservation for round 2 of the 2009 Championship Series. Dryer conditions let to faster times and even more action and only one repeat winner in the five classes of competition.

“Mad” Mike Paradiso pushed his Blazer to the limit to win the Mikey G’s Smokin’ Café/Mikey’s Emporium Stock Class and take the points lead. Rookie Ken Geary made his first show memorable by pulling out a second place finish and just edging out last month’s winner Rick Murauwski, who had to settle for third. Another rookie, forth place finisher Chuck Heslin had the most exciting run of the day when he came into the final turn with a blazing fast time only to be grabbed by the dirt monster and rolled over. As Heslin’s hood said “pain is temporary”, but his Best Show award will be his forever. We wish him a speed recovery. Cody Cook rounded out the top 5.

“Stormin’ Norman” Anderson paced the Bri Mic Construction Limited Modifieds as his Split Personality held off April winner Kevin Morrissey in Crazy Horse. Jason Bifaro’s consistency continued as his Thrill Billy ran third and moved into the points lead. Chet Nickerson and Mike Dewolf rounded out the top five.

National touring stand out Mark Noto and Super Truck returned to SCORR for the first time in almost a year to set a new track record of 33.72 seconds and claim the Anything Automotive Pro Truck victory. The Bandit’s second place finish was enough to allow Ron Peterson to be the only Obstacle Course drive to maintain the points lead. Pat Winchester’s Twisted Fate, Jocko Martinez’s Dodgin’ Bullets, and Burt Unterburger’s R-13 each moved up one place to finish third, forth, and fifth respectively. Tim Howard was left Dazed and Confused after running the second best time of the day in the first round only to his engin fail at the finish line.

Stock Mud Drag action was won by Joel Speck.

Pro Mud drag saw Eric Schweic’s Six Pak not only become 2009’s first repeat winner in any class, but also set a new drag record of 4.22 seconds. Tony Gernsti came in second with Code Blue followed by John Paradiso.
