2016 is in the books! Thank you to all of the sponsors and racers who came out and supported us this year. With out you guys & gals, there would not be a series.
Maple Grove was the last race of the year and the Jerry Lewis Roofing A/Gas was a tight points chase coming. Stephen Hawes had just a few points lead on Jerry himself and these two would battle it out all day.
The semi finals would have Stephen up against the #1 qualifier Todd Pavics in his water cooled terror. Stephen put a big holeshot and was out in front until he missed 4th gear and the top end charge of the FWD car went 8.98 at 170 mph! With the loss, Jerry was now forced to take out Reggie Lee in the other semi final. If Jerry won the round, he would be the champ. Staged up and clutch dropped, the NOS car was out first and Jerry was bouncing the front end playing catch up. Catch up he did. With that, Jerry was the champ.
Race 2 was held on a gorgeous day in South Jersey and with again, the VW classes suffered 0 oil downs. Our Jerry Lewis Roofing heads up A/Gas class had 6 cars show up to qualify with 5 making it to round 1. The #1 qualifier was Chris Schaeffer with a 6.12 in a field that had turbo, nos, a street car and a water cooled. The final pair was Jerry Lewis versus Stephen Hawes. After a little bit of a staging mis que, Jerry left first with a .012 but got very crossed up and Hawes drove around him for his first win in his new car.
The Gel Air .com I/Gas class had 9 cars show up for race day. Full pay out was paid and many fans complimented the drivers on their cars in the pits. The final round came down to Scott Pocaro vs Anthony Manger in his quick FWD pick up. The tree came down and the head start went to Pocaro but the better light went to Anthony with a .009. Trying to stay out front, Scott broke out by a few hundredths and the sun went to team water cooled.
We started off with the backbone of our series the Gelair.com Sponsored I/Gas class which features 7.99 and faster bracket cars. With 17 entries in the class it proved once again to be the most competitive and largest field of the Vw Heritage Series. At the end of the day it featured a true North vs South finale. Nelson Rodriguez Jr from New Jersey was facing off against Clint Woolard from North Carolina. Over the last few years when our northern racers head down south for the Vw Drag Night event we usually take the money back north. However this year the money went down south as Clint took the win over Nelson Jr. Since Clint did not join the points series Nelson is the current I/Gas points leader with 37 points and 2nd place is tied between our fearless leader Scott Pocaro and Doug Stewart at 25 points.
