Notes from the pits:
Andy Seuss“There were a lot of unknowns going into this race with a car that has not been really run in a while and a motor that has not been run at this level in a while. We had our fingers crossed and so far we are happy with it. The car is a little bit free but we are waiting for the rubber to get down and hopefully it will tighten it up. We do not want to get ahead of ourselves and tighten it up too much and then start back peddling. This rain will probably show that it is going to be free again. It does not give us a good chance to get the rubber down.”

“We are really excited that things have gone as well as they have so far with us kind of regrouping over the last few weeks and coming back with our own old car. With an old motor that has been touched by everybody. We are pretty exited with the results so far.”

Why type of motor is it?
“Motor was built by Joey Caraccia originally then Billy the Kid and then a man refreshed it in a Quonset Hut for $1,500 last time. Hopefully we will get him some success up in Loudon. It is a Chevy Motor, but when Billy had his hands on it, it had really good pieces. It has not been run in a while. We are happy that it is running as good as it is. It should not be really a surprise because those two guys build really good motors.”

Todd Szegedy “The car feels good. I wish that we could come here five times a year. Maybe that will change in the future.”

More Notes from Pit Road for the NWMT Driver's while they wait for qualifying:
Woody Pitkat
The car felt good. It was fun to get back out here. It is one of the places that I like to race. I do not think that I always have done good here, but I like it here. I have to work on figuring the line a little bit better and what I can race with. It was fun out there I tried to help Richie Pallai a little bit. During the last practice he got out there behind me. It is nice to be able to help somebody and the guy appreciates your are out there helping him.

Helping others does it help you?
Maybe in the long run it does. Obviously you have to look at it this way - you never know during any part of the race if you are going to be racing with him. He is a rookie and you would not think that he would be up there. He is going to run good, both he and Justin (Bonsignore). You never know if you are in a predicament during the race and you might need a guy to help you out. You might need that guy to lift for you if you get in a bad situation or something. And he probably will think, “He helped me earlier in the day or weeks down the road. I should repay him the favor.” So if you look at it that way, one hand helps the other. It might help or it might not. For some reason I just like to help everybody, even if it is a person that I do not really like and I have the part that they need. I want to be able to beat them on the track not because they are sitting in the infield.”

Will Woody Pitkat head back to Thompson Speedway for racing tonight?
“Yes, we are already qualified so I will go down and run the SK car and I am going to run Bobby Santos regular modified car the black #98. I am kind of excited to get in that. That is my first time in a Troyer car. So I will get 40 or 50 laps in a Troyer car under my belt and see how it goes.”

JED
06-24-2010, 04:07 PM
Richie Pallai“It is awesome. It really is. Woody definitely helped here. We talked about it before practice. We were near each other and he helped us with the draft. He thought that would be one of the toughest things. We went out there for about five laps switching back and forth. When you have people like that helping you it makes it a lot easier”

“The draft is cool. You pick up about 5 or 6 more miles per hour. The car feels a little loose on you. It feels almost like you are flying. It was not as bad as everybody said it would be. Once we get use to it, it will be good.

Decision to drive in the NWMT versus local tracks?
“Everyone that we talked to said that we would be good as a distance racer. We were just tired of going week in and week out we were trying to survive rather than just racing. At the local race we were surviving week to week with all the wrecks and stuff. Stafford is a great facility but the guys who run the SKs like to bang them up a lot.”

“We got a good crew chief and we have some sponsor help so we decided to run the tour.”

JED
06-24-2010, 04:08 PM
Bobby Santos“It is real tight but I can not complain because it is a brand new car. The guys did a good job getting it ready for this. It is pretty comfortable after that (practice) so I am happy.
They sold the old car and they figured this was a good place to shake the new car out.
The old car is the modified car that Keith Rocco has been running at Thompson.”

More Notes from The NWMT driover's as they wait patiently on Pit Road:
Johnny Bush“The car feels great. It is a little tight off the corner, which is costing us a little speed. But we are working on that right now.”

The #68 NWMT car has a bright new paint scheme to add some pizzazz to the car.
“The other car had no zap to it at all. My cars always have been blue and white with a little with yellow and orange in it. So we thought we would go back to that and maybe have a little better luck.”

Last week at Stafford Preece was in a wreck with the #40 car and it had a lot of damage.

I believe the 40 at Stafford is a CD car...The 40 mod is a troyer, the one he ran at the shootout

Thunder is all around us as lightening is striking real close
Rain still very hard
Someone certainly was there for the Mods to allow them just to get their qualifying in before the heavy rain started.
