Eric Goodale

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big thank you to Whelen Modifed Tour driver Eric Goodale, who showed off his car to over 50 students today at his former elementary school building.

The kids asked questions and Eric posed for photos with each child sitting in the modified.

The kids are eagerly making a poster or two, which some of them will display at the Whelen Tour race in August at Riverhead.

The kids learned a lot about the cost of running a modified, the importance of sponsors and even a little bit about how bump drafting works. They learned about the places Eric will be racing this year, from Loudon, to Bristol.

The kids all were dressed in racing shirts, from Richie Evans to Chuck Hossfeld to Matt Hirschman, and learned a little bit about the drivers whose shirt they were wearing. The kids also learned about some of the safety features, from fire suit to hans device, to onboard fire safety and safety bars.

Just one of the things that make our modified drivers something special.

Did the teacher get a chance to shake the car down around the parking lot?

Riley Ave School in Riverhead/ Calverton

No, but the teacher still holds the unofficial track record in a go kart- one lap around the parking lot!

In the past, I got Ricky Fuller, Jeff Fuller and Eddie Brunnhoelzl Jr. to bring their cars in also. The Fullers brought their car to school on a Wednesday, back in the day when Riverhead would run the tour show midweek.

By the way, a decent qualifying run for Eric Goodale, considering it's his first time at the track.

May the sun gods shine on us tomorrow, and keep the rain clouds away.

Very, too bad they got stuck in the mud after contact by another car! Probably a top 10 at least.
