Portsmouth Notes and Unofficial Results for 7-17

[RJ7171C71R]

Man Tugboat you should have stayed for a heck of a feature!! It was real good racing although Barry led the whole race!! RJ was actually by Barry in lapped traffic on Lap 10 and in the lead but Greggie Oliver blew his motor and the caution came out and Barry got the lead back!!Barry would pull out to a big lead til RJ's harder tires heated up as Barry admitted he wnet soft and was hanging on at the end LOL!! RJ was catching Barry again on Lap 18 in lapped traffic before Jeff Blackburn cooled down RJ's tires again by spinning into the infiled then pulling back out on the track and stopping for the caution :mad: RJ was slowly getting faster as the race was coming to an end and on the last Lap he went outside of Barry in turn 2 and was ahead going down the back stretch and he drove it in hard(To hard in my opinion ) and just about lost it but caught it and Barry out drag raced him to the finish!! My Boy Delmas had a bad start in the evening as he broke a front end piece before he took the grenn flag for qualifying and smacked the wall hard!!He pulled out the backup car and was trying to get around the leader in turn 3 on the highside and jumped the cushion and smacked the turn 4 wall again and lost his rear spoiler but he held on for the 3rd and final transfer spot!! In the feature Delmas went to the Highside and was a flying!! He started 15th and was up to 5th at the end and almost caught Ralph Withem(Very impressed with ralph tonight)!!! He was faster than both RJ and Barry at the end of the race!! Very good show tonight besides the long Black out delay LOL!! Heres my unofficial results::

17.34-Audie Swartz(4th-Was running good early in the top 4 or 5 and got sideways and lost quite a few spots and cam back up started fadong and then pulled off I think?)
18.70-Jeff Blackburn(6th-Was running around 7th when he spun out to go the tail,then pulled off later on)
19.K9-Kenny Mustain(16th-Hadnt seen Kenny run in awhile and didnt do to bad til he pulled off)
20.17S-Greg Oliver(17th-Greggie was oving up in the feature and was looking good til the motor let go in the Charlie Seymour owned car!! I talked to Greggie in the pits during the blackout and he said Charlie is supposed to help him out the rest of the year and Greggi was supposed to go back in his familiar G2 with Seynour's engine,but not sure if that motor was blown???I hope it all works out for Greggie as hes a good guy and has lots of talent and will show this with Charlies help!! Thanks Charlie Seymour for helping out a fellow Late Model Driver!!)

There was 2,3 and sometimes 4 wide racing in the feature and it was a good show and track was in great shape and the feature was good as usual at PRP(Minus 2nd day of big 2 day shows when they dont rework the track LOL!!) See you all later and everyone come to PRP on July 31st for the Big Macs race!!

Hey RJ7171C71R can't believe your actually saying one of your Conley Boys made a mistake . Especially after the way you defended Rod after he spun Blankenship for the final transfer spot at the Cornenett Clash lol. I was there at PRP Sat. I sat through the whole black out didn't see me running back to my seat when the power came back on . I didn't move from my seat lol Anyway the way I saw it yes RJ drove it in deep but that was his only chance . If he wanted the win he had to drive it in deep. (Well that or take some driving tips from Rod...Do you have the video of the cornett clash that he can watch for futer reference lol) He drove it in deep took his shot it just wasn't his night. He did good to hang onto second after driving it in so deep. I also noticed your boy Delmas Conley flying around the highside. The highside was quick all night Anyone that watched the modified heat races could tell that. But I didn't notice Delmas on the highside untill the race was well over halfway. If he could have got to the highside a little sooner her might have been able to pick up a few more positions and been up there with Bragdon and RJ. Now on to Chris Conely ...I noticed you have him listed as 71H-Chris Conley(-1 Lap -Started 9th-Looked better after he got lapped LOL)..I could be wrong my notes are a little fuzzy do to the fact I didn't take any lol but I thought Chris pulled off of the track either on the last caution or the next to last one .. maybe I'm wrong as it had been a long night with the black out and all .....Some of the guys that usually run at Brushcreek was there last night because Brushcreek didn't run late models . With them being closed this weekend for the Adams County Fair some of them may make a return visit this week end. It was a good run for Dave Kirker making the field through the B-main final transfer spot ( didn't have to spin anyone out to make it either lol ) Starting dead last on the field and working his way up to 9th. The last time out at Brushcreek he was in a big wreck that trashed the car. With everywhere raining out last weekend ...this probably was his first time out in the new car.

Dave, I thought that is was probably the first night out on the new swartz chassis. Didn't get to see the first part of the night. We didn't make it to the track until late. Chad and I was walking to the seats just as your heat was finishing up. So I didn't really catch you racing until the B-main. You looked good in the B-main By the time the feature rolled around you really had it hooked up . Good run from the back to 9th. If its as good this week as it was in the feature you wont have to race in through a B-main, you will be starting up front. Good Luck. Are you going back to PRP this week ?
