Vargo Dragway Reunion

The event will not be held this year.

If there is an event held at the farm where it has been it won't be the official one.  The official event is put on by "The Vargo Guys" and "The Motorsports
Explorers Youth Group."  The land owner decided to take it away from the people who spent 10 years building it.  He has decided to try to run it himself. 

In the past the land owner was paid handsomely for the use of his property.  Greed has taken over and he wants to try to cash in on this event.   No one should
take over such an event from the teens, volunteers and former Vargo workers that have poured their heart and soul into this fabulous event for all these years.   

The Motorsports Explorers wish to thank everyone who participated in the past events.  New and better venues have been offered to the organization. 
After this slap in the face from the landowner the management will regroup and advertise a new location in the future.

32 Super Stockers grace the "Geezers'
Cooler than the MIR race, still rather toasty but dry air.  Much more palatable for both the fans and the
cars.  Still  more regulars in the shop and we had no problem filling a 32 car ladder.  The track had
originally said we would have only one qualifier and no one was happy.  Leo Sekulski however was ready,
he put up a .003 left almost no chance of loosing top honors.  Jim Picket would have liked to quit after 1
round his .019 would have made him second qualifier but "The Grove" allowed us to have our second
qualifier.  In round 2 Gary Nies and Dave Stubbs jumped into second and third bumping Jim down to 4th. 

Past champions, event winners, consistent round winners, it didn't matter, they were all goin' home early. 
In the semi's Chet Cook bested Dave Stubbs and newcomer (there is that word again this week) Kyle
Reasbeck sent Bob Fort Jr. packin'.  Once again "the newcomer" came out on top in the final as Kyle
Reasbeck held Chet Cook at bay.  I will note here that Kyle Reasbeck did run with us once last year.  I'm
sure this won't be the last we see of him!

Initial testing of Dink Away and Dink-B-Gone seem inconclusive.  Although he did seem to steer clear
of the pits most of the day we found him consistently hanging in the tower.   We all know Dink's attraction
to the cars and crews.   We overlooked his attraction to towers and microphones and failed to provide the
tower staff the needed protection.  For this oversight we must apologize to the Maple Grove staff.

The hottest day of racing yet - MIR

A scorcher of a day yet 30 drivers braved the heat and helped put on a fantastic show.  There were a
couple of no shows that called with mechanical problems  as well as a couple of never shows.  Could
have potentially been a 6 round elimination.  There was a stalwart crowd  braving the intense heat in
anticipation of the show being presented by Maryland international Raceway.   I'm sure the intense
weather kept many home in air conditioning and or the pool.  2 rounds of qualifying with our vintage
Super Stockers grabbed the spectators attention before lunch.   The 30 car parade of Detroit iron
kept the crowds attention during the first round.  The scoreboard told another less amazing story.
In the days of the flagmen maybe no one would have noticed 5 red lights but the board knew.  Back
in the days of 200+ car turnouts and 20 or so heads up classes there was no such thing as a breakout
but we had 9.  Round 2 was a driver shootout and some good ole' racin'.  Round 3 .....  Steve Vargo
made a valiant charge to catch Cliff Sebring but Cliff didn't leave the door open far enough for Steve
to get thru.  Newcomer to the series, David Wright tried handing a win to Sean Pickett but Sean gave
it back to him when he turned on the red.  Fred Henderson must have seen this and thanked the
Pickett's by going red himself giving the win to Jim Pickett.  Jay Zolko, fighting a severe ignition
problem, still managed to hand Kevin Grasson a ticket home.  In the semi-final Zolko's problems
sent him packin and David Wright moved to the finals.  Jim Pickett, still in a giving mood I suppose,
lit the red and sent Sebring to meet Wright in the final.  After seeing all this generosity, Cliff, the
gentlemen that he is, clicked on the red and let newcomer David Wright taste an ALLSTARS victory.

We did it!!! No rain for Englishtown.

Race #1 (should have been race #3)

A rough start for the 2010 season to say the least.  Two rainouts really put a damper on some spirits.
The 3rd attempt at Englishtown was threatened but went off well.  No rain, a stiff headwind slowed the
cars  some but most important .... they got down the track.  The car count was low due to a conflicting
event.  Qualifying put some on the trailer leaving just 24 cars for the first round.  There were a couple
new entries as well, always good to see more classic sheet metal blazing down the track.  Seems as
though some drivers were a little too excited to finally get a pass.  Four red lights in the first round
should be proof of that.  We got the dust and cobwebs blown out of the cars and drivers during the
first 2 rounds.  The ladder left a 6 car quarter final.  Vargo's hole shot took out Barnhart, Sebring edged
past Woods for the win light and Zolko forced Pellegrini into a breakout.  The semi's gave Vargo a bye
and pitted Zolko against Sebring.  This ongoing gentlemen's rivalry of the long roof cars always results
in a tight nail biter, this one was no exception.  Sebring held on to take the stripe as Zolko charged by.
The track was quiet as the cars cooled down.  The drivers tried too cool down as well, but this one was
for the big check.  Sebring gave up a little too much on the start to make it up at the big end of the
track.  Congrats at Englishtown go to Steve Vargo.
