Bowser will be running mostly in Central PA and no longer a Lernerville regular.  Will be in the Chipelli car, not his own.

Good for him, not so much for us.  

Same for Brandon if he is running All Stars.  



My dad drove late models in the early 70's at North Hills, Butler, Mercer, Blanket Hill, and occasionally Tri City. We won the last late model track championship at Blanket Hill.

Lernerville's weekly car count looks like it will be impacted if there is no Bowser or Matus.

Lernerville's car count was excellent last year.  Better than the headline class at almost any track in the area!!   And there will probably be a couple of new cars for 2017.  However, this will take out two of the weekly contenders to win!!   But will help several who have trouble making the top five on any given week

 

GOOD RACING!!!

Can"t forget Dan Kuriger or John Garvin Jr. Have to agree Jack Sodeman and A.J. will be tough to beat.

Dan Shetler was really fast all last season, I still am surprised that he didn't win a feature.

Yes Matus is going to do All Stars. If so Garvin will be own his own and doubt he has that much experience with out Matus.

If Brandon Spithaler can keep it on all fours he will be going to a lot of all star shows. Zac Marrow should be much better and may get his first this year.

From Matt Turner: I am very excited to get to work with Rod George again on a race car he will be in the 40x car next year as a teammate to Cory Good in the x car going to run Lernerville and maybe some other shows it all depends on how it is going I would like to thank Scott at Wildwood Motors Pittsburgh.

Chad has quit from lernerville, wonder how this will affect the racing, or track prep. Should be difficult for new owners and a new gm who has no experience with racing, or any drivers or local business partners

Can't be any worse than the last guy that tried to sue Revin Kevin Bolland well guess what he lost and probably cost innocent people a lot of money trying to sue because they were mad that Kevin Bolland kept winning and they couldn't figure out why so the last guy is gone and you think that's bad you must not like Kevin Bolland either or you think you can do a better job maybe you should apply.

I can see Lernerville taking a few steps backwards this year.....   Lets see how they treat the drivers and fans....  pivotal year   



Somethings just seem backwards.
