Zirk Wins Back-to-Back Races!

Sunday June 26 2011 Byron Dragway Race #4

It's a racers dream come true! I had to pinch Rick Zirk to let him know he was not dreaming. Rick Zirks 1998 Saturn, piloted by Bob Ramano had won Race #3 and #4 of the MWTS/Quarter-Max Race Series at Byron Dragway. Sunday turned out to be a nice day. The weather was good and so was the racing. After qualifying Tim Kirman was the #1 qualifier with a 6.82 @ 201mph. 19 cars qualified with one that broke, Jeff Fleming. Throughout the day, racing was very competitive, with some real close races that where decided by the computers of the track system. By the finals it was (Zirk Racing)Bob Ramano VS Chuck Reed. During the burnouts Reed had some problems and the car shut off. Bob waited and Reed got the car started, doing a real short burnout. When the tree came down both cars launched hard. By the 900ft mark it looked like Reed got loose and Ramano Ran it out to become the winner. Great job Rick Zirk and team on there back to back wins and congratulations to Chuck Reed and team on there Runner-Up.
