How he looks at speed.
BLOWED UP
The bad luck of 2009 continued Friday night at Mohawk International Raceway. The motor blew up in Anthony's heat race.
Loaded up and watched the A-main.
They will change motors early Saturday morning to get ready for Drummondville.
My iPhone said Rogers Wireless for a network carrier at the track, so I couldn't update here or on Twitter.
Hot Wings TV is a racing show on Time Warner cable out of Syracuse. They produce some ESS and Patriots races. They did the Patriots show at Malta, and the ESS show at Utica-Rome. Anthony was going to be the in-car camera for the night. I saw some of the footage from hot laps. Kinda neat.
Lance Yonge ended up doing the A-main with the camera. Steve Poirier won, Justin Barger 2nd, Alain Bergeron 3rd.
They put over a million dollars into the place and it showed. Nice pit area, all new stands, and new lighting. Anthony said his heat with the new lights was like driving in the daytime.
I can't update from Drummond Saturday night. Full story Sunday morning.
