85' Rocco #12 takes three in a row at Linda's

["Ken and Susan Buck" <phillyscca@mail.enter.net>]

I know some of the listers have come out to Linda's Speedway in 
Lebenon, PA to see the Thunder Car Scirocco, so I'd thought I'd throw 
out a report.  And I need to brag to someone who would appreciate 
this, my wife sure doesn't  :^)

My 85 Rocco has taken the checkered flag 4 times in the last three 
weeks.  I have won three weeks straight, and my co-driver took the 
win in the Lady Thunders division.

My teammates have not been so lucky though.  Bill Sherwwod,of CSE 
fame, has had three bad weeks in his 81 Rocco; 2 sevenths, and a 
fifth last night.  He blew a motor 3 weeks ago, got 'black flagged' 
for ruff riding last week, and bent his rear axle in last night's 
heat.  We port-a-powered the axle back so the wheel only had about 5 
degrees of tow out, and he still was able to pull a 5th in the 
feature.

Shane's 81 Rocco is clearly possesed by Satan (or is it Santa???) As 
he snapped an outer CV joint in warm-ups.  We through in a new half 
shaft in time for the heats, which he won.  He started the feature in 
fourth place, but never completed a lap as one of the damn Mustangs 
broke a steering rack in turn three, and you will never guess who he 
hit.  Yep, pushed the front of Shane's Rocco down about 3 inches ands 
back about 4 inches.  Time for a new radiator and the frame puller 
again.

Thanks for listening, I feel better now, I love those dirt track 
marvels.....
