Andrea Wins BlackHawk, Simaras Takes 3rd,
6 of Top 10 Drivers are Elite!

A beautiful, sunny weekend allowed for some fast qualifying and race times. Jim Marinangel had the pole with a time of 1:21.015.  Of course, second and third were only 0.024 and 0.044 behind him. In fact, between 1st and 13th, there was only a second difference. Many Elite drivers qualified with personal best times. Kudos for such a competitive field. 

The race was very exciting, with passing up and down the field. About midway through the race, Alan Andrea Car 15 passed Jim Marinangel Car 5 for the lead. It was a tight battle, for a short time until Marinangel experienced technical difficulties. However, second and third place wasted no time getting close to the leader. Andrea drove smart and ended up with the win. Congratulations!! Other Elite drivers finishing well include: Jim Simaras Car 95; 3rd; Mike Dirienzo car 82, 4th, Dale Brown Car 21, 5th; Mike McCann Car 38, 8th; Steve Nekich Car 6, 10th; Bob Ablard Car 66, 11th; Brian Riese Car 4, 12th; Mel Boldt, Car 8, 15th; Bernie Schatz Car 00, 20th, Jim Marinangel Car 5, 22nd, and Bob Shineflug Car 77, 23rd. I hope someone notes that these results were posted on Labor Day. A webmaster's work is never done.
