Race Report, by Harold Baker, DAPA Race Director
DAPA
TMCCC Abilene, Texas - September 10, 2006
We had 4 DAPA racers (Marty Parker, Jennifer Green, Jessica Dudley, and Harold
Baker) heating up the Abilene eighth mile strip with 3 of 4 racers winning
plaques. All our cars were running a little slower and the "experts'"
consensus was the higher altitude (thinner air) was the culprit. Jessica
Dudley was second place in the Race of Champions, Marty Parker was a semi-final
winner in King Muscle, and Jennifer Green took 1st place in Stock
Muscle. Harold Baker was eliminated in the second round of Super Muscle with a break-out by .0046
seconds. I was eliminated in the second round in the Race of Champions.
The Abilene track was very nice, covered grand stands, smoothly run operation,
and friendly people. This track would be a welcome permanent replacement to
Denton for future TMCCC races. DAPA race 'crew' members in attendance included
HR Dudley, Lee Green, Joyce Baker, Paul Parker, and race dog, 'B' Baxter Green.
