Race Reports:


November 24-25 Mason Dixon Meltdown, South Boston Speedway, South Boston, VA- Start 9 Finish 3

After many weeks of debate of which race to go to, Eric has decided after many meetings with the crew and family that the #9 will head south on Turkey Day after the Northampton Football game and a little Turkey. It was a difficult decision because Eric has not missed a Turkey Derby in many, many years, either he was driving in it or he has been attending since the Turkey Derby started some 30 years ago. However, South Boston is a track that Eric has never raced and he is always up for the challenge of something new. Another deciding factor was the crew that has come together to help work on the #9. Stayed tuned for the inside scoop and Eric's thoughts after the race.

RACE STORY:
Eric really liked the track and the crew put a really fast car under him as shown by Eric being fastest in the 2nd and third practice sessions, but as all know you don't win the race in practice. Eric then picked the second starting spot in time trails and they were held late Friday night after a bunch of division went out and raced and debris was dragged across the track because the only way in and out of the infield is across the track in the field. No excuses - just the way it is. Eric ended up qualifying out of the top 8 and had to run his heat which he won. This made for a 9th starting spot. Now one thing you need to know about South Boston it is a 2 to 3 groove racetrack but it narrows up and if something happens there is not a whole lot of room to get out of the way. During the first 90 laps Eric was just running his race realizing that this is a 250 lap race and there was going to be the half way break. Eric was running as high as 5th by lap 75 and then on lap 90 the 47 and 07 got together in front of Eric who stopped but then was tagged from behind and pushed into the mess. They did not know it at the time and did not realize until the car was dragging as they were putting the car in the hauler after the race that the bolt on horn was bent over which was making the sway bar bind up. That was the reason that Eric was so tight the remainder of the race and everything the crew threw at would not free it up. Back to the race – After the accident Eric the officials threw the mid way break flag 10 laps earlier than the 125th lap. This gave the crew ten minutes and they could have used another 10 to make some adjustments and straighten out on things on the car. But not one to sit back and wait for thing to happen Eric got on the gas and off he went and ran third for many laps and by lap 180 was running second until laps later Civiiali who took tires after the half way break came past. On lap 217 the right rear went soft and caused Eric to spin by himself. Eric came and took on right sides and off he went. As the announcer said – watch out he comes the #9 like a freight train. What he should have said is "Look out here comes the Freightliner" (in reference to long time sponsor Horwith Freightliner. Remember folks – Eric was still battling a tight condition. As Eric explained he was giving it everything he had at this point and was on Matt’s bumper and was trying to set him up going into turn four – trying to get a run to get under him but ad he did it and was sending the car in so hard he had it just about sideways and just did not have the mustard to get by. The big motor that Eric normally uses at the bigger tracks that gave Eric a third place finish at the North South Shootout on seven cylinders was still at RPM Engines getting fixed, so old faithful was under the hood and she held up but did not match the steam under the 60 hood, but the Sunoco Race Fuels gave us the extra power that we might have been lacking otherwise. All in all a great weekend for the Sunoco Race Fuels , Horwith Freightliner NASCAR Modified team to go to a new place and finish second. Special thanks to the crew who worked long hours over the weekend: Fish, Kevin, Glenn, Greg, Booby, and Earl. A lot learned and the 9 will be ready for next time

November 3-4 - North South Shootout SK Modified 12th -NASCAR MOD - 3rd - AUSTIN BEERS WINS

As the headline on the home page reads: "BEERS WINS" that is Austin Beers who won his first open competition race at the North South Shootout in the Peddle Cars on Saturday, November 4th. His Crew Chief Kevin Crowley fitted him perfectly for the car where his little feet could hit them in stride. Austin also picked a good starting position by picking the outside row. All in all a great run for the #3 Peddle car Crew and Team.

The Modifieds weekend was another story. The team worked hard on getting the cars ready. The PA posse worked hard to get the car changed over from the Mahoning Race of Champions Qualifier win and when the MA posse of Kevin and Brian Crowley came down on Tuesday night they spent countless hours getting both the NASCAR Modified Car and the Zacharias owned SK car ready to race. When they got down to NC for the SHootout and took practice the cars were not right. The team went back to the drawing board and had to set the cars up again to adjust for the cold conditions. Eric had a guaranteed spot in the 100 lap Modified race and timed out of the top five and had to run a heat. Eric was under the 2 car of Brunhoezl 1111 and he spun and took the 9 car of Eric with him. Eric then had to run a consi but finished out the qualifying position and was relegated to start 31st. Eric stayed out of trouble and when he pitted he came in 8th and went out 2nd. GREAT JOB. At this point Eric reported that the engine was flat and they deduced that Eric was running on 7 cylinders. Even with this problem Eric was one of the fastest cars on the track because the car was handling as good as a modified can handle. Cars would pull him on the straight aways but he would get them in the turns. No doubt if Eric did not have the engine issue the #9 car would have been in victory lane. In the SK race it started with the car being stuck in reverse. The crew came out and banged it into gear and the race started. Eric got spun early on and no one saw him and the track had limited amount of tow trucks so Eric did a days of thunder and brought the #9 SK Modified down the back stretch through the pits and into his pit stall in reverse. The crew fixed the problem as best they could and sent him out on his way. Eric stayed out of trouble and brought the Zacharias car home in 12th. Special Thanks's to all who worked so hard to make this weekend possible: Brian and Kevin Crowley for all your hard work at the garage and the track. Fish, Heavy, Glenn, Howie, Frosty, Greg, JR, Earl. Peter and everyone else - you know that the car would be on the track if it was not for all your time and hard work.

Story from Speed51.com
Eric Beers finished third in the Hoosier 100 right on the heels of runner-up Ted Christopher. It was a tight battle to the finish made even more amazing by the fact that Beers was only running on seven cylinders. But things weren’t over yet. Beers would do more than just maintain fifth-place after losing power, he would actually move up to a podium finish. That shocked even the driver.“On seven cylinders. Unbelievable. We pulled the valve cover off in tech just to see what was wrong. The valve spring was broke, the rocker had a big crack in it and the pushrod was lying next to it. So we had a seven-cylinder, third-place racecar.”Handling was the key to that fact.“The crew did an awesome job,” said Beers. “This car was really stuck to the race track. I could put the car anywhere on the race track that I wanted to. It is just a shame that we did not get a chance to show what we really had.” Although Beers was thrilled with finishing third, he also regretted the fact that he wasn’t able to dice it up for the victory with his Northampton, Pennsylvania neighbor – Matt Hirschman. “With eight cylinders, it definitely would have been a Mud Lane one-two and little Matt might have been chasing me,” said Beers. “Next year, we’ll come down and make sure that we have eight cylinders for the whole race.”

BUT DOES BEERS HAVE MORE FATHERLY BRAGGING RIGHTS?

Tony Hirschman was a proud father after the races at Concord, but his neighbor Eric Beers might have been beaming even more. Beers’ three-year-old son Austin won the annual pedal car race at Concord before the big-car features began. “Mine’s a little younger than Tony’s, so I have more to brag about,” joked Beers. “Austin was awesome. He’s three years old and was racing against five and six year old kids. There were some big kids there. I got a little worried, but the kid was focused all day. “It was his first race ever and he smoked the field. He beat them by a half straightaway. I told him that all he had to do was to pedal to his Mom. He told me that he would do that and that he wasn’t lifting. He went to the front. He drove his butt off and there was no catching him.” Austin’s skill as a racecar driver shouldn’t come as a surprise. He’s been studying the sport pretty hard for a toddler. “He loves racing. He’ll go to Stafford or Thompson for a big race like the Fall Final or World Series and sit in the stands all day long from the beginning until the end of the races. He won’t move. He loves racing that much.” For the first three years of the pedal car race, the Crowley girls of Massachusetts have won the event. This year, they outgrew the event, but their father Kevin Crowley was at the track crew chiefing both the full-sized cars driven by Eric Beers and the pedal car of Austin Beers. “I have to thank Kevin,” said Eric Beers. “He went off there and moved the pedals up for him because he’s such a little guy. It worked out well.”

October 28 - Stafford Speedway - NASCAR Tour - Start 27th - Finish 11th
This was the rained out race from the begining of the month where Eric went out early and was the last car to to get into the race on time. The race started and many cars in front of Eric started beating and banging and cradhing in front of him. Eric ran his own race and let everything come to him. The team pitted about half way and came out and got up as high as 7th until the cars that pitted after him worked their way up. Eric brough home an 11th place finish in front of the right guys to finish this long season 10th in points. Way to go.

October 21 - Mahoning Speedway - RoC Tour 100 Lap - Qualify 6th - redraw- 2nd - WIN
Below is the race report by JR kennerup which really does a great job summing up the race at Mahoning. However a interesting fact not know until a week later was that Eric had a premotion during the week while thinking about what he had to go over on the car before the North South Shootout that they should check the drive line and all the parts from the drive shaft to the the block. So while Fish was getting really greasy and taking the transmission apart and checking the transmission, clutch and entire driveline, the flywheel dropped out in pieces on top of him as he took it apart. Pap looked at it and said Eric maybe had two more laps left in in before Eric would have blown pieces all over the track, ie flywheel, throw out bearing, transmission, etc. SOmetime you need to be lucky. Great job crew, Heavy, Fish, Kevin, Howie, Peter, Earl, Glen, Frosty (even thow you were not there)Pudgie and Pap.

Running on an unusually sticky asphalt surface Saturday afternoon Eric Beers was glad that he redrew the outside pole starting spot. When the green flag dropped to start the 100 lap Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour feature Beers used outside groove and out dragged pole sitter and fast timer Tom Shupp to get the lead. Once in front Beers led all 100 laps for the $3,500 win at the track where he started his asphalt Modified racing career many years ago. Teenager and 2006 Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour Rookie of the Year Kory Rabenold continued his long distance race success at Mahoning Valley with a second place finish. First time track visitor Billy Putney made the five hour tow to the track worthwhile with an impressive third place finish. Meanwhile veteran Hillcrest, NY driver Lee Sherwood looked to be more comfortable at MVS by finishing a solid fourth place with Zane Zeiner coming on strong at the end to finish fifth. The overall Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour point championship came down to the final laps. Both Earl Paules and Pete Brittain had trying days while only being separated by three points going into the feature. In the end the tenth place finish of Paules was good enough to earn him the championship by just seven points over Brittain. For Paules, it was his first ever Race of Champions Asphalt Modified Tour overall title. “The good draw definitely helped“ said race winner Eric Beers of Northampton, Pa. “Also making the top 12 in time trials to get into the redraw helped and then the good draw makes it easier as you don’t have to pass all of the fast cars.“ Beers a many time feature winner at Mahoning Valley throughout his stellar driving career had a little handling trouble with his car after each of the restarts throughout the race. “We were tight for two, three laps and once we got heat into the right front tire we could drive away pretty much from whoever was behind us. If you’re leading by a half a car length or ten car lengths, you’re still leading and I wasn’t going to burn the car up to put on a show. Eric used a veteran restart tactic on each of the restarts throughout the feature. “They ( the officials) tell you that you can start anywhere within that line. So if you change it up by going at the line one time, before the line the next time. The one time I did go early before the line and that was because the car outside of me had a half a car length on me and I wasn’t going to lose the lead over something dumb like that. That’s the race directors job to police that and it’s my job to keep the lead.
Eric spoke about his race battle with Kory Rabenold. “I was a little worried seeing him come up through there, he’s pretty fast here and he gets to race here more than I do. So he is definitely a little better than we are here and I wanted to hold my line and keep it on the bottom, not give him anything cheap, and make him work a little on the top. He hung there for a while and then we pulled away and we showed we had a pretty good racecar there at the end. Eric spoke about the track while looking at his worn out left rear tire in the pit area following the race. “The track really didn’t grease up like it does at night here as it was very, very tacky today. There was a lot of grip on the top, on the bottom, even when you went to pass lap cars you just stuck up top when you were going around them. This late in the season you don’t expect the track to be like that. Usually you burn the right front or right rear here, tonight I melted a left rear. There was so much grip and when you are picking up the throttle you’re just killing your left rear tire.Another key to the win of Beers was two crew chiefs that help Eric out through the season and he credited them with their help in the win today. Beers remarked, “I have to give a shout out to the entire team, Kevin Crowley who helps me out down at New Smyrna in February and in selected shows on the RoC Tour when he can make it. My crew chief Peter Caron on the three car I drive for BRE Racing came down today. We put our heads together and here we are.” This was a big win for Beers, his first on the RoC Tour in 2006. “We have a lot of seconds and thirds this year as we couldn’t crack that victory lane. One more caution here, one more caution there, needed another lap and so on. It feels good to get one here as I started running Modifieds here a couple of years back. “Eric spoke about the race. “ It’s good coming out of here without a scratch on the car. Everyone ran a pretty decent race, there were no big pileups, nobody driving out of control, overall it was a pretty decent show. “It was real good tonight as we started 13th and worked our way up front “ said second place finisher Kory Rabenold. “ After working our way up front quickly what hurt us the most was Eric Beers. He’s a veteran on the RoC Tour, he’s knows how to get around here too, and he was pulling me good on the restarts as I couldn’t get that extra momentum to pass him and I tried so hard that I wore out the tires before the end of the race. Rabenold in his first full year of asphalt Modified racing on the road has quite a success rate in the last five long distance features at Mahoning Valley over the past two years. Kory has two wins, a second, a third, and a fifth, which is not that bad for a driver who is just 16 years old. “The main key in these long distance races here is to save the tires,” said the Slatington, Pennsylvania driver when talking about his long distance race success. “A lot of the guys just go out there and want to get to the front the quickest way they can and honestly that is not the way to do it. Because here at the end of the race, it is who has the tires left will win the race. I don’t know what it is but in every long distance race here I’m up front at the end and that is what counts. Kory entered the top five on lap 21 then moved into fourth on lap 26 and into third just three laps after that. Kory got shuffled back to fourth on lap 47 and moved into second after the third place car of Lou Strohl spun out the second place car of Rusty Smith on lap 51. Rabenold lost second to Kevin Graver, Jr. on the restart but repassed Graver for second on lap 53 where he stayed for the remainder of the race. After getting into second Kory had six restarts to try and pass leader Eric Beers but couldn’t.One problem that did hamper Rabenold was excessive left side tire wear, which is very unusual for Mahoning Valley. “The track was really different today and I think that was due to being cold. But at the same time I got so much heat in my left rear tire that it burned it right off.”
Kory summed up his day by saying, “I’ll take a second over not finishing a race any day.”If you looked at driver smiles after the race and didn’t know who won, you had to figure that Billy Putney was the winner. The driver who hauled five hours from his Buffalo, NY suburb home to Mahoning Valley made the most of his first ever race at the track with a third place finish.
“We’re ecstatic with the end result,” said Billy who started 22nd. “ The car was good in practice and we didn’t time as well as we would have liked. In the heat we missed the setup a little bit but the more we kept tuning on it the more the car kept coming to us and it got just a little too tight at the end and I couldn’t hang with the top front runners.”Putney raced cleanly at the start and pitted twice for tire changes on lap 46. Using the outside groove with success Putney rocketed into fifth on lap 59 and with 30 laps to go moved into fourth. Once again using the high line Putney impressive moved into third on lap 75 and was on the leaders back bumper when the car tightened up with 15 laps to go.
“To come out of here with the car in one piece, with a top three, I never expected it, and we’re tickled to death. We’ve had a tough combination series as we wrecked in the other two races on tracks where I would have thought they were our good tracks. Not knowing what to expect coming here and to get a third. I woke up this morning and didn’t even want to come down here, but we did because we had to. It’s a racy little track, it’s fun to drive here and I’m glad we came now.”Qualifying for the stout 40 car Modified field saw Tom Shupp set a new one lap track record in Modified time trials with a 9. 734 lap breaking the old one lap track record set by Rick Kirkendall of 9. 747. Heat races were captured by Rabenold, Tommy Flanagan III, Bill Teel, and John Markovic, while the B Mains were won by Scott Lesher and Rick Kluth.MAHONING NOTES… RoC along with the racing teams would like to thank Doug and Gena Hoffman and the track staff for running off the show in a very timely manner on a very brisk late October afternoon..The top 25 in time trials all set a blistering pace and were under the 10 second lap mark…Don “Chowder“ Bauder drove the backup John Markovic machine on this day… Amanda Sesley had the engine let go in her primary Troxell Modified ride and she then drove the backup for the remainder of the show. Terry Zacharias was slated to drive the Mr. Jim 71 car from the Zacharias Racing stables but elected not to as that car was used as a backup for Pete Brittain… Tony Hanbury was driving the Daryl Lewis, Jr. car on this day.

October 15 - Thompson Speedway - NASCAR Tour - TIme 23 Finish 26
Eric qualified just about where he thought he would as the team was fighting getting the stagger in the right rear. They worked and worked to make the right rear grow but it would not. So Eric qualified 23rd and that's where he would start on Sunday. The race got going and within the first 25 laps Eric worked his way up to 8th and was just holding on to his spot because they knew they would pit sometime after lap 75 (halfway). Well on about Lap 45 in between turn 3 and four the 09 on B gringo tried to get under the 3 and there was contact putting the 3 backwards in the wall and ending the day that way ironically going the opposite of how they qualified. That same 09 took a really neat ride up in the air later on in the race when he and Eric's neighbor Tony Hirschman got together on the back stretch and the 09 literally went up over TOny's left side tires up in the air and then land on all fours in the grass. One more tour race and we will see what happens.

October 7 - Waterford Speedbowl - NASCAR Tour - Qualify 16 - Finish 24
This is a short story - Eric qualified 16th - about where he figured because the car was not as good as they really wanted but expected it to come in during the race as temperatures cooled. After a two hour delay because the lights on the back stretch did not work. On lap one the 0 of Danny Sammons did not seem to be going as fast as the car up in the lead pack and at one point was pushed sideways in turn one. As this happened the field checked up and the 19 went up into the turn one wall - you could see Eric on the brakes and the wheels turned left and the spotter telling him to go low but he was hit behind and pushed into the 19. Lap 2 end of story until he came back out later after the crew made repairs to complete 92 total laps.

October 6 - Lancaster Speedway - ROC - US OPEN- Heat 3- Redraw- 8 Finish 6th
The team was happy with the car and Eric finished where he needed to finish - in a redraw position in his heat. Eric redrew 8th and after a handful of laps was up to 2nd and chasing Leaty for the lead. After lap 60 and the cars that had already pitted made their way past the 9 and the 6 a caution flew and the team decided to pit. The crew did a great job getting Eric out first in front of the cars that pitted on the same lap. From this point on the race was frustrating and interesting. First Eric had to get by a pushing Cory Readanold, who Eric had to brake several times as Eric was passing on the outside and it seemed Cory got the car out of the groove and pushed high almost sending Eric to the wall. Once past Kory, Eric went to work on the 77 - For many a lap Eric tried to pass high pass and low and at one point Eric was on the outside and had to brake really really really hard not to hit the wall because Sege seemed to get real loose and push up. At one point Eric was running a half a straight away ahead of the 60 and 6 and after catching traffic and having to check up a few times because both the car in front of Eric went high and Eric had to check up - Hirshman and leaty got in front of Eric. Great job by Eric to finish 6th as again the crew had a really fast car under him.

RAINY RECAP:
Its been a wet couple of past weeks - Waterford Canceled the Sept 24th race on Saturday the 23rd so the #9 team changed over the car to be ready to go to Lancaster for the US Open set to be run on the 24th. They got as far as Syracuse that morning and then they pulled the plug on that race. That brings us to the Sept 30 and Oct 1 weekend. Eric drew #1 to go out for time at Stafford and the track was a mess and Eric was the last car to make it in on time timing 27th. He was getting ready to leave Stafford and drive to Mahoning when rain came to Pennsylvania and Mahoning pulled the plug. Eric stayed in Stafford and they cancelled the October 1st race at 8:00 AM the next morning. So two weeks and Eric has only gotten in Qualifying at Stafford.

This weekend October 7 and 8th will have Eric and the #9 team heading to Lancaster for the rescheduled US OPEN and RoC Tour race on Saturday the 7th- Leave there after the race and head to Waterford for the race Sunday afternoon. The race is not until after 5:00 PM Sunday but you have to be there by 9:00 AM for the pit party, then practice, time trials then race.

It will be a long weeknd but that what Eric does. If there is a Modified Race hes there and wants to win.


September 16 - Oswego Speedway - The Race of Champions - Time 2 - Start 3 - Finish 17
The weekend went according to plan for a change. New Hampshire got their race in on Friday and Eric finished 9th and the car in one piece. Eric and the Crew arrived at Oswego at 2:00 AM and were up at 8:30 to get the car in the pits and get ready for 11:00 am practice. Eric was good in practice and then followed that up by timing 2nd to Matty and then drawing a good position at 3rd. The race started and Eric waited about 40 laps before he worked his way around second place driver, THE DUKE and then put his sites on Zane Zeiner. ABout lap 55 Eric started to work the outside of Zane and by Lap 60 was around him and in the front. You must remember for the RoC they pay Lap money meaning each lap is worth $50 - $1000. Eric led from about lap 60 until he pitted on lap 144 ish. For that effort the team collected over $10,000 - Marilyn Toal - We thank You. The team had a good stop and Eric was back on the track and started picking his way through the field. With about 25 to go Eric was in the top five and setting his sites on the front. He worked up to third and on the white flag lap a caution came out. The Race of Champions always finishes under Green - So after about the 6 restart on lap 213 the right front which Eric had been reporting had felt soft finally went out in turn one. Eric did an awesome job to race around the track to bring the Sunoco Race Fuels Horwith Freightliner into a 17th place finish. Eric was the fastest car on the track and on 130 lap tires was still a half a track ahead of the field. But you have to pit for the RoC and the cautions did not fall exactly according to plan at the end. He will be back next year to get try to get the RoC Back.

Sept 15 - New Hampshire Speedway- NASCAR Tour - Time Trials - RO - Eric Start 10th - Finish 9
From Speed 51. In an age where teams bring their slickest cars and bodies to NHIS, Eric Beers showed up with a short track car. His Ole’ Blue that would have normally run the race was heavily damaged at Martinsville, so the #3 team worked with what they had this weekend. The car wasn’t ideal by any means, but it was good enough to take the ninth finishing position. “It wasn’t bad,” said Beers. “The car went good in the draft, but when I pulled out to pass it was like hitting a brick wall. It was a good car. We were real, real loose at the beginning. They tightened it up and if we had had one more caution near the end to cool the tires, we would have been real good. “We were running just outside the top five behind Marquis and Stefanik there. Jerry wiggled and I tried to get by them both. I got to the bottom, but I couldn’t get back in line and lost five spots. But to finish ninth with everything still on the car isn’t a bad day.

Its getting to sound like a broken record. "If it was not for bad luck the team would have none at all." After getting throug the Tropical storm Ernesto OK and geting practice and time trial in, the car was strong and Eric timed 5th and Austin redrew 7th. The start of the race saw Eric move up a spot to 6th and then a caution came out. On the ensuing restart Eric was on the outside and on the next lap around Eric was on the outside minding his own business because the outside is the tough groove to get going. Next thing some cars in the inside lane get together or bang or pushing the 48 up out of the inside groove up into the left of Eric causing Eric's car to go up in the air do a 180 and smash the back of the car hard in the outside wall. Done for the night. They had to cut the rear bars off to get the fuel cell out to get the car into the trailer.

The team took most of practice to figure out the problem that lingered from last week. They thought it was a battery, but when Eric went out for Practice with the new battery the motor was still flat. So Eric came in and the team put in a ignition box to eliminate any quess work about the electrical system. The motor was still flat so they eliminated that factor. They found that the linkage to the second set of injectors in the carburetor was broken so the car was only running on two barrels. After they fixed that the car ran really good. Now remember they only had about 15 minutes of practice after fixing this problem. Eric qualified 11th and then the race cam and Eric was was running his own race. Just before half way they began talking about pitting on the next caution. However, the 28 car who pitted on the lap 30 caution was running behind Eric and instead of passing him must have misjudged his speed and he ran up on Eric and literally ran over the back of the 3 car going into turn three. Before you knew it Eric spun, dirt tracked it, and almost had it saved when the car bit again and sent the back into the wall and then spun around and hit the right front as well. The team had the car fixed and were going to run a few laps just for position but the x-cross member under the fuel cell was broken and NASCAR would not them continue. Maybe the team has the kinks worked out now and will finish the season in strong fashion.

August 12 - Chemung Speedway - RoC Tour - Heat 4th - Redraw 5th - Finish 2
The heat race went Ok with Eric starting 6th and finishing 4th in a redraw position. Eric picked a good starting spot in 5th and within a few laps was up to second battling Pistol Pete for the lead. He had to drop back a few times after getting the car a little loose trying to make the car work on the outside. From there he had to battle Hanbury for position and then had to drop back to fourth after getting the car loose again trying to make it stick on the outside of turn 4. The car was good but it took too many laps to get around Hirschman and Hanbury, but Eric was on Petes bumper at the end and if he had a few more laps might have had a chance to go for the lead. But all in all a complete 180 from the last time the team was at Chemung.

Story from Speed 51
“I’ll tell you what, that’s probably the best I’ve seen Pete run in a while,” said Beers, who was wheeling his own #9 machine. “Him and Terry (Zacharias – car keeper) have that car going pretty good. They were strong, but if it were a hundred-lap race, who knows what would have happened. Heck…two, three more laps, who knows?”

And yet, Beers may not have run as well as he did at Chemung were it not for another seasoned veteran of the Modified wars. Beers’ machine was just ‘ok’ in his heat race, so he solicited the aid of one of the toughest Modified campaigners of all-time, another 50-plus driver, George “The Duke” Kent.

George gave us a great deal (setup) to make the thing cut, and I should have compensated for the bite, because I needed a little bit more,” stated Beers. “At the end we went hard and, wow, I got it out of the groove there in turn four and I had a handful of wheel. I just can’t believe nobody ran over us; I was completely sideways. I just let go of the wheel and the car straightened itself out. This car can drive itself sometimes

August 11 - Stafford Speedeway - NASCAR Tour - Start 18 Finish 28
If it was not for bad luck the team right now would have no luck at all. After working well past the midnight hours the past week after Riverhead, the car was OK and was getting better as the race was going along. Eric started 18 and was up to 6th and going for position when all of a sudden Eric had to drop back to the rear. THe motor felt flat. The team determined the motor was fine it was the battery was bad. They changed the battery but the new battery had no charge. So after borrowing a battery from the 46 team (thank Booby) the battery was going then the ignition wen haywire ultimately parking the # 3 for the night.

August 5 - Riverhead Raceway - NASCAR Tour - Time 3 - Start 9 - Finish 27
A night to forget. It started out great. Eric timed 3rd which at Riverhead is the most gut wrenching part of the race weekend. It is the tightest race to get into. Eric redrew 9th and was up to third when a series of event occurred. Someone in front was leaking which caused Eric and another car to spin and at the same time he lost a rocker arm in the engine. Finishing him for the night.
