ECTA Racers at SpeedWeek Updates ?
« on: August 13, 2012, 04:46:33 PM »
Andre Moreau my friend from Canada and fellow ECTA racer  just called me from his pit on the salt, He just ran his first ever 200 mph pass, He drives the #9304 Cream/Red 1953 Studebaker.. he was so excited I could hardly understand his speed but it was 200.??? I think something like 200.326 mph.  Congrat's to Andre...Job well done my friend,, you have worked so hard for that 200 mph run...see you in September at Ohio.

Jesel's Dodge Truck with Jason Line driving went 217.xxx yesterday and made it to impound,, I heard on the broadcast what I thought was a backup run well over 230.000 so not sure which mile counts but he must have backed up a record ?

Congrat's to the entire Jesel Team.

Just to let our ECTA folks know, Nancy Wennerberg had a crash shortly after the starting line and her bike high sided and pitched her off.  From what Jon (Seldom Seen Slim) says she fractured her clavical and 2 ribs, she has been released from the hospital and is back at the hotel resting ...
(this happend yesterday)
Wishing her a full and speedy recovery...

I heard the HVAC Express ran 191 and were in impound yesterday.

 The 325 Cup car ran 244+ in TO. I believe that may be an unofficial record for a cup car.

Yeah no circle track class out there. Not sure who owns it but they were there last year and I have seen them run with ECTA too. Running fuel too so maybe they sprayed it??

Joe, trust me I understand re-hab and PT..

"It has to HURT before it HEALS" was tha motto of the PT Witch that worked me over for a Year after my crash...

Keep it up and stay the course... It does get better...

Gee, that's reassuring to hear.  I think maybe I WON'T tell Nancy about this conversation.  She's doing better again today -- moving around the motel room by herself, but still not ready to play volleyball for another day or two.  Nonetheless - I don't think saying that "it has to hurt before it heals" might have her thinking that it's almost all better -- 'cause it sure hurts her now.

She's doing better.  Sure wish you could be out here with us, Joe -- and you too, Charles.  Next time, okay?
