  • Awesome battle with Amber Stephenson in the red, white, and blue Crossle. She was able to beat me to the track record by 0.008 seconds. Enjoy this hard fought battle. Congrats to Amber on the win. Thanks to Joe Marcinski and Mike Rand for the incredible support yet again .

    That was a great race. That #5 is a good driver. You both are to have put on a show like that.

    It is very clear that number five had more speed on a straight line, perhaps due to the calibration...Congratulations to both drivers, they are great drivers.

    Turns out I accidentally showed up to this race as a spectator. I drove out to Penn Yann to buy a lawn tractor and stopped by to check out the racing.

      Glad you enjoyed it! Would your team be interested in a sponsorship opportunity? I just purchased this car and am starting my own team this season. We’re looking for partners to help us continue to compete at a high level and win the Mid-Atlantic Championship again. If interested, please provide an email I can send our sponsorship package to or contact me at resoluteracing27@gmail.com.

    Here's a tip on your drafting and Slipstreaming." As you car gets closer and closer, start lifting off the throttle and let him tow you. Then, when you are ready to pass, floor the gas and pull out. You will blow right past him.

    The othe cars seem to be faster in a straight line. Even when you had the draft ou werent catching as quick as they do in andtraight line. Did you find this as wel?

    • @jakeking39
      @jakeking39  Před 5 měsíci

      I didn’t have my gearing right for the long straights. If I had put in a taller 4th gear, I would’ve have pulled on the other cars once I was in the draft.

    So was the difference gear ratio or power?

    • @jakeking39
      @jakeking39  Před 5 měsíci

      It was gear ratio. The Club Ford class requires everyone to run the same Kent Ford 1600 engine platform with strict restrictions on motor specifications. There can be slight power differences depending on engine builders but they are very marginal.
