Race #1 CECIL 4/19/08
Race #1 at Cecil went well.
A bit smaller turnout than expected for a bonus payout
race. It was a wonderful
sunny day for racing. Qualifying and
eliminations went
well. The first race in a new series could you could have
anticipated some
problems.
The All Star officials had a handle on the situation and pulled it off
seamlessly.
When
the dust settled John Warehime took home the big check.

Race#3 MIR 5/10/08
OK, enough of this. Will the person or persons doing the rain dance please
stop!!!
Sure looked like a wash out but the race still went off. Four hours late
but we still managed
to run a full ladder and get home before dawn on Sunday. Early on it
appeared that the 422
Motorsports Comets were up to their old tricks. In the semis Jay Zolko
brought on the red
light and Ed Youmans fell asleep at the tree (it was getting late) ending their
run. This resulted
in a final with the Mopars of Cliff Sebring and Gary Nies. Once again
Cliff cashed in.

Race #4 ENGLISHTOWN 6/1/08
It's hard to believe,
the season is at the halfway mark. The rumor mill had it that there could
be 28 cars for this
race. Where was everyone? The weather was great, no threatening
clouds just sun, a few clouds and a breeze.
Good to see our friend Jim MacKenzie out for a race too bad mechanical problems
took him out. Balmer, Gudat
and Sandberg also returned after a 2 race hiatus. Jay Zolko defied the
odds again with another perfect light to be
top qualifier. Qualifying ended the day for a few cars due to mechanical
problems. Between these broken cars and
red lights the first round of eliminations was dismal. The subsequent
rounds were much better. The lone AMC was
on his game and plowing through the field. The final pitted Sandberg's
Mopar against Gudat's AMC and both were
having a great day. Sandberg's red light put Gudat into the money.
Sandberg was later overheard to say " always
a bridesmaid ......... ".
ENGLISHTOWN was also
accommodating enough to supply us with a round
sheet as well. For results click

A Gift certificate for dinner at the Pit Stop went to Keith Wynn for best engine
compartment.

Race #5 Beaver Springs 6/14/08
Once again there were a lot of cars missing from the action. Once again Zolko
was #1 qualifier. Does this give him
a Hat-Trick? It was three in a row, but the first 2 were .000 this was an
.027.....you decide. Qualifying went rather
well despite a track that seemed a little slippery to some. Then,
well, let me just say it with a picture.
Competitors will receive
points for tech, qualifying and first round.
Tentatively payouts will be added into the end of year points bonuses.
A Gift certificate for dinner at
the Pit Stop went to Dave Stubbs for most improved reaction time (64%).

Race #6 Mason Dixon 8/17/08
Oaks, PA. Wanna relive the
factory Super Stock wars of the 60’s. The 422 All Star Nostalgia Super Stock
Series The show consists of 427 Fords and Chevy’s
in addition to Chrysler Hemi and wedge big blocks with a dose of
For the second time this season the weather was on our side. Blue skies
with a few little clouds, not too hot, just an all
round great day for racing or most anything else for that matter.
Qualifying went well with one exception. John DiMino Jr.
shredded his driveshaft in the first round. To make matters worse, he had
a spare and spit that one out in the second
round. This left 22 cars in the event. Top qualifier was newcomer
Dawn Perdue (422 Motorsports '63 Galaxie) with a .004
light. The track wasted no time elimination rounds went off fast and
before we new it we were to the finals. With the
beautiful sky, the backdrop of the rolling hills of Maryland and the local
church sitting at the end of the track, the need
to embellish the final round a little (maybe a lot) is overwhelming.
It was a fine Sunday in Boonsboro Maryland. The Sebring and Zolko families
were loading up the family station
wagons for a quick trip to church. Mr. Sebring and Mr. Zolko know just how
long it takes to get there. Mr. Sebring
drives a bit slower and must leave on the first bell to arrive in time.
The younger Zolko drives a bit faster and must
leave on the third bell. The first bell rings and Mr. Sebring is off in
the blink of an eye. The third bell rings while
Mr. Zolko yawns and he leaves the driveway a little late. It is a
beautiful scenic ride down the lane. At the church, much
to Mr. Zolko's dismay, Mr. Sebring pulls into the coveted first parking space.
Mr. Zolko now had to make the long walk
in from the second space.

will allow your fans to do just that. All 60’s big blocks, all lettered, all
dual quads, all motor, all cool. No Toyota’s,
no slicks on the wrong end of the car, no cars that came to America on a
boat. Just plain old Detroit Iron with
open exhausts and not a prayer of ever being driven on the street.
AMC big block power. Many original factory drivers and true legends of the sport
who are willing to talk with fans
and relive the “Golden Age of Drag Racing”. A one day show that will move
quickly on the track schedule with
minimal breakdowns and a .400 Sportsman tree that will reduce or eliminate red
lights.
THE 422 ALL STAR NOSTALGIA SUPER STOCK SERIES WILL BE RUNNING
THEIR MEETS ON BASICALLY THE SAME SCHEDULE AS THE
N/A
SHOOTOUT.
THIS IS AN "ALL MOTOR" HEADS UP RACING SERIES.
FROM THE N/A SHOOTOUT PAGE
Oxford, PA
Working overtime the last few
months, Rich Maitre of the NA Shootout series and Richard Lamont, along with the
entire
422 Motorsports crew, have combine forces to bring an exciting day of racing to
each NA Shootout event in 2008. The Nostalgia Super
Stockers will be running their program right alongside the N/A Shootout cars.
When asked why, Maitre had this to say, "The Nostalgia
Super Stockers are a great fit with the NA program since all of their cars are
also naturally aspirated and show quality pieces. This
will bring a whole new level to the series."
