WEEKLY COWPATTY NOTES!

All I can say is this rain on saturday night's is getting OLD! At least we got to see the make-up feature for the modifieds! Tommy Sheetz took total control from his front row starting spot! Tommy led every lap convincinly for his 1st feature win of the season! Making up the rest of the top 5 were Ray Swinehart 2nd, Duane Howard 3rd who came from 17th, Jon Kellner Sr 4th and Jeff Strunk rounded out the top 5! All the heat races were run for the late models and modifieds with Marburger, Follweiler, Smythe and Sheetz winning the modified heats. Merkel, Shuey & Schutz picked up the late model heat wins. The late models were on the track when an electrical storm hit and knocked out power at the Bechtelsville oval. Then as the lights proceded to come back on, the rains started falling, thus ending another evening of racing! Nothing has been announced as of yet on what will take place for the completion of this event? We already have a late model feature to make up from the previous week! We shall see?

Just wanted to mention that we had Rob Massey(hope I spelled it right Rob?) stop up to see us! We have never met Rob before and he is an avid Cowpatty Nation fan! Rob & his son are weekly visitors to Grandview, and have been for years! Rob hails out of Delaware and makes the ride weekly. He mentioned that he is much closer to Bridgeport, but loves the racing action MUCH better at Grandview! Now that is something I cannot argue with!! Rob, it was GREAT to meet you and thanks alot for taking the time to stop up and say "HELLO"! The pleasure was ours chatting with you!

It was a good time as always last night even with the rains. Mr. Mod (Steve), Hook (Eric) and I took an early trip to Our Place in Gilbertsville for some pre-race wings and Blue Moons! Always a fun time to be had when Mr. Mod comes along! Met up with friend Jeff Imbody up by the pit gate! Jeff is the driver of the white pick-up push truck. He is a heckava nice guy! Jeff picked up a couple Cowpatty stickers for his truck and a t-shirt! Thanks Jeff! Thanks to "Fire Marshall" Doug for having an extra shirt along for Jeff! Also ran into buddies Dave Bitner (Ernie Irvan) and his son Josh who picked up their Cowpatty shirts! The rains cut our conversation short, but it was good to see you guys! Thats about it for this week! Till next week...keep on Cowpattying!
