Ken does it (WINS!!) again

gtracer · 09-26-2006

This time at Nelsons Ledges near Youngstown, Oh. Looks like he's on a roll with my old red Opel GT and poised to win the regional championship out there! Congratulations Ken and keep the Opel torch burning. Couldn't be prouder and happier to have a "shoe" of Ken's caliber take over my driver's seat!!
Ken not only won the FP race on Saturday, but finished 2nd overall, only being bested by a Lotus 7 type SPU car. He even passed a supercharged Mini on the way to the win- since he couldn't outthink/outfox him and his humongous power on the straights, he passed him in the treacherous turn 4 (Oak Tree).
Unfortunately, Ken was going for a new "rain" track record on Sunday and had a spin in the wet. This caused radiator rupture which kept him out of Sunday's race. Since he may not be able to get the red rocket ready in time for the next regional (he's also gonna help me out at the Runoffs), he's planning on running his ITB Manta on slicks in FP to secure the title.
Everyone, join in "Go get 'em Ken!!!" let's see another championship for Opel.

Great job, Ken. It just goes to show that no matter how old they get, in the right hands, many things are possible.
