Beaver Springs 24-25 May 2025

WOW what a weekend of racing.
In 2 days we saw Brian Yarrison, Randy Campbell, and Bob English, lose an engine.
Then Brian Wallace hits the jersey wall head on with his vette after a big wheel stand, wind may have been a factor.
Bob English tries to launch the fiat into space.
Saturday rain delays all day with multiple cars breaking on track. At one point the track announcer said we got 2 rounds in 9 hours.
Three minutes before curfew MANDRA got the finals run on Saturday night.
I give a big thanks to Beaver springs crew for their hard work on Saturday to get the race in.
I would like to thank all MANDRA members for their patience during the long day Saturday. With good friends and good food the time passes quickly.
Saturday saw RANDY CAMPBELL take home the win. Our race sponsor CHARLIE INNERST finished runner up with BILL WERT and MIKE VOLPE in the semi-finals.
Sunday's weather was a lot better for the ROBERT CRIAG ENGLISH MEMORAL RACE. It was a bit of a slow pace day.
We finished up around 9:00.
JARRED WALLACE got his first MANDRA win by taking out ANTHONY PICONE in final not a easy thing to do. GEOFF SOTAK and GARY SCOTT in semi-finals.
BOB ENGLISH gave out 3 awards best appearing car went to MARC LONGACRE. Best RT in time shots went to JARRED WALLACE with a .0000 light in 2nd round of time shots, and worst RT time in finals also goes to JARRED who had a .130 light.
Have fun and be safe see you next race.
