March 27, 2022 | Jim Colligan March 19th, 2022 “March Madness” 2021-22 season On Saturday March 19 th, 13 Outlaws and a new racer arrived at Len Jet Raceway to race tjets. Practice ended around 10, cars were teched and Dave Lockwood conducted the driver’s meeting. Dave introduced Dino Gualtieri from Bethel, CT to the Outlaws. As a side note, Dino is the Connecticut Chapter President of the Alpha Romeo Club of America. Welcome Dino. Paul Ryer was awarded best appearing car with his Jalopy. Jalopies on the Bear Paul Ryer took the win 81 laps followed by Dave with 80 laps. The final step on the podium was taken by Peter Lentros with 78 laps. Rick Pare, Terry , Joe Rinn and little Greg rounded out the top half of the field. I believe that this was only the third time that the best appearing car also won the race! The more we race on the Bear the more comfortable the racers have become and most enjoy racing on it. Super Stock on the Python Super Stock will be raced on the the Python at the Hopra Nats in June so we want to make sure that we get plenty of practice. To no one’s surprise, Greg took the win with 112 laps with Joe Rinn second with 107 laps with Dave also with 107 laps 3 section behind Joe!!!! Paul, Donnie, Rick and Peter rounded out the top half of the field. IROC on the Shamrock Glen Paul Ryer prepped four new TFX chassis and mounted those beautiful Ferrari 250 GTO bodies from Road Race Replicas on them. Dave took the win with 82 laps with Greg second with 81 laps. Donnie took third with 79 laps. Rick, Peter, Paul, and Terry rounded out the top half of the field. This is the third time we’ve run TFX IROC sets and everyone is impressed by how well they run right out of the box with just shoe adjustments. Thank you Peter for your hospitality as always and thanks Paul for prepping the IROC cars. Next race is April 23rd, The Spinout. Scheduled races are Grand National, Efray with Trans Am bodies and Magnatraction with Nascar bodies.
