> Dave Edsinger and I raced our Yenko Stingers at the Brian Redmond's 
> Jefferson 500 at Summit Point this past weekend. This race is put on by

> a free test day on Thurs, the 15th.   We both went out track on Thursday. 
> My car, #73, ran reasonably well, although it was rpm-limited at around 
> 6000 rpm.

> Running on track on Thursday proved to be fruitful as it rained heavily in 
> the area on Thurs eve and Fri morning, resulting in flooding of the track, 
> access roads, surrounding areas, etc. Track personnel were very efficient, 
> pumping standing water away and cleaning the track so that we were able to 
> get cars on track by 11 am on Friday. The next day, on Saturday, we had 
> our first race. Dave started around 8th? and I at 23rd in a field of 37 
> cars. I finished 18th and second in class. Dave had fan belt issues at the

> All in all, a very good weekend. Weather turned out to be great; sunny,
