4/27/08 The 7w Racing team started off its 2008 campaign on Sunday night at TCS with a thrilling second place finish behind race winner Dave Lyons of Corry, PA.
Bobby started the evening with a 5th place starting spot in his heat race. After a couple of laps to settle himself down and get used to the car, Bobby raced for a 3rd place place finish behind Max Blair, son of local Super late model champ Robby Blair, and E-mod standout Carl Mckinney. With a 7th place position in the starting grid the 7w team began the process of preparing their Rocket Chassis for the feature event.
On the drop of the green, Bobby raced under three cars in turn one to emerge 4th, but a caution negated the pass and Bobby once again was placed back to 7th. On the restart Bobby was able to use the same move and once again began his charge to the front. With Chad Myers leading on the next restart, Dave Lyons, with Bobby in tow, raced around Myers to take over 1st and Bobby 2nd. Dave and Bobby raced side by side until a 10th lap caution bunched the cars back together. On the ensuing restart, Bobby raced under Dave for the lead and was off for the hopeful win. Unfortunately on lap 15, Dave's slightly harder tire started to take off and he was able to race back past Bobby for the lead. On the final restart Bobby once again tried to dive below Lyons for the lead but was held off by Dave, who edged Bobby by just 0.103 seconds at the line. Dennis Lunger Jr., Tom Snyder Jr. and Max Blair rounded out the top five.
The entire 7w team was pleased with our first run in this exciting new division. Bobby said after the race,"Wow, that was fun. It was alot like driving my Pro-stock." With that being said the team is excited and ready for a great season with the FASTRAK Series. Bobby and the crew would like to thank everyone for their help Sunday night.
3/22/08 The 7w Racing crate motor blew fire for the first time Saturday afternoon. Now with the drivetrain completed, the crew will spend the next few weeks double and triple checking our maintenance checklist and getting the trailer stocked for our first race at TCS on April 27 and our first FASTRAK NE Tour race at Raceway 7 on May 2.
3/15/08 The 7w crew has just begun to add the finishing touches on the 7w latemodel with the addition of a brand new 604 GM crate purchased from Baierl's Northpointe Automotive in Cranberry, PA. Spring is on the way and with it the 2008 season. We can't wait!
3/11/08 7w Racing would like to thank everyone that stopped out to see us at the Tri-city Speedway/Cranberry Mall car show. Unfortunately the weather put quite a damper on things Friday and Saturday nights, but the crowd was rather large on Sunday. We enjoyed talking to everyone there and can't wait for the upcoming season to begin.
3/06/08 7w Racing will be at the Cranberry Mall this weekend for the annual Tri-city Speedway Race Car show. Hope to see you all there!
1/01/08 7w Racing has purchased a 2006 Rocket Chassis latemodel previously owned by Matt Lux and M3 Motorsports and will field the car in the FASTRAK Late model Series in 2008.
