Vipers at Infineon Raceway!!

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Tommy Archer again is showing fairly strong after the Qualifying for tommorrow's World Challenge Race at Infineon ended earlier today. The Vipers were required to add restrictor plates and with the 100 lbs . added from last year , it is amazing the Comp Coupes are still doing so well. With so many Teams running high dollar one offs, the Spec Car from Dodge Motorsports/SRT is absolutely surprising to me. One can only wonder what would happen if they were give just a few assists like Audi or GM. Running the dinky little 275s up front on a heavy car and still being competitive on arguably budget racer ( in this league ), a little ability to get some rubber and be able to change gears like the rest of the folks, could put the Snake at the top of the heap. Oh, well, the scuttle-butt figured the Vettes would benefit most from the changes , and with McClure on the Pole and Reese at third ,it appears the pundits were correct.

Here's how our boys faired, and check out the race tommorrow at 1 pm ( EST ) on Speed Channel --- the Touring race is right before it ( Saturday's race ) and the Touring cars will showcase a 2nd weekend race at 6 pm EST.


Tommy Archer 5th
Mike McCann 10th
Tim Wiens 13th
Bob Woodhouse 14th
Jim McCann 16th
Al Becerra 23th Viper GTS

Archer got third and his first podium for the year! He's now 2nd in the overall driver standings. Three Vipers in the top 10 and Woodhouse was 11th. Way to go, guys!!

Also, thanks Bill for posting these notices about the races. We'd probably miss them otherwise.

Vipers continuing to improve week by week. Way to go! Hopefully no more "penalties" for the CC's. As it is, it doesn't look like we have enough tire.
