Machines Nite 6/28/01
Three wide Flying Tiger action was the norm during the Flying Tiger 50 Series
events. This picture is from one of the heat races. Jamy Begor (19) was having
trouble and slid to the rear of the field. There were about 40 or more Tigers
that showed up for a piece of the action. More then a few went home unhappy.
" Hey Guys, lets try going the other way for a change!" is what it
seems like Chuck Perkins (18) is saying. Everyone made it through and there was
no yellow. Chuck got it turned around and back on track like nothing ever
happened.
Mark Germaine (35) gets a little too high and turns it around in turn 4. He ended up parked on "The WidowMaker" but did it so well he was able to just drive off and keep racing.

Turn
4 was THE place to spin on this night. Again, everyone came out in one piece and
went on to race some more. Here we have Mike " Beetle" Bailey (10) and
Kevin Sorel (68) getting it pack in order after spinning out.
Tigers are not the only guys to go three wide at Thunder Road. The LMS guys,
even though not the main event this night, sure work it hard even in their Heat
races. Jamie Fisher (18) holds the low line coming out of turn 2 with Mark
Lanphear (27) making a move in the middle and Dave Simpson (51) hanging on to
the Outside Groove!
Not
to be outdone the Street Stocks put on their usual action packed show. Here we
got Street Stock ace Dan Nolin (79) taking the Outside Groove in turn 4! The
most amazing part of this move was that it worked and he picked up a few
spots. It is not hard to see how guys that have started in this division
are now running in Tigers and Late Models and doing well. They learn a lot in
Streets.
