    Just before the rain started - practice had been red flagged as the #90 Rene DuPuis hit the wall in turn two.

    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.”
