LONG ISLAND MINI CUPS VENTURE OUT TO PA

This past Saturday, some members of the Long Island Mini Cup Association ventured off to Jennerstown Speedway for the SRL (Scale Racing League) National race.  For many, including Joseph and John Burns, this was the largest track they have ever run.

Joseph Burns in the #53 John's Auto Repair Pontiac took laps in warm-ups and much to his own surprise, Burns turned laps around 70 mph.  The younger Burns would take down the win in his division in the 35-lap race.

John Burns and the #88 John's Auto Repair Ford had a rough day.  His day started out with a ill-running truck and turning a poor qualifying time as result.  In the 15-lap feature, John would finish fourth.

Robyn Delabar in the #25 Precision Motor Cars Chevrolet also made the trip, although the trip was a short one as Jennerstown's in her homestate.  Delabar would finish a respectable 9th in the final standings for the Adults.

All in all a good showing for the fast growing Long Island Mini Cup Association.

The next SRL national race will be held October 18 at South Boston Speedway in VA.  Several of the LIMCA members plan to be in attendance.

In addition the LIMCA will be traveling to Mountain Speedway this coming Sunday for an exhibition race.  If you are in the area, racing will start promptly at 2:00PM.  For more information please visit www.liminicup.com or www.speedwaytech.net .

In other news, Ken Stably, the president of the SRL, has appointed John Burns as National director for the Junior Minicups.
