Byron Dragway - World Power Wheel Standing Championship Weekend-Saturday

Launching Larry Jeleniewski

This past weekend was the World Power Wheel Standing Championship Presented by Don's Auto Parts & Machine Shop . The Saturday portion  of the event consisted of Midwest Index Shootout and Midwest Top Sportsman qualifying for Sunday and some of the entered wheel standers testing. With the anticipated bad weather not making it's appearance, the Series decided to run Gamblers races. The Midwest Index Shootout would run two race classes and the Top Sportsman, one. 

​Here are some pics of the qualifying and the gamblers races.

In the Midwest Index Shootout Gamblers Race it was Rob Moore and Ed Frost winning their classes (at least that was what I was told).

In Top Sportsman, it was Troy Finner racing in the final against Bob Romano in Rick Zirk's car. Troy took home the $1200 prize with the win!

Track Bites

Steve Malek was on property with his Plymouth Xtreme Bird Pro Mod.

Steve made several passes, setting his best time a Byron Dragway!

In the grandstand, Chauncey was celebrating his bachelor party with friends at the racetrack. Congratulations on his upcoming nuptials and to his beautiful Bride!

On Saturday, the weather report was full of doom and gloom for a rainy day. What actually happened? Hardly a drop of rain fell. Byron was able to complete the program with the addition of Gamblers races. It only proves that you must come out to the track!
