Double W Racing was back in action this past weekend @ Soggy Bottom Raceway

in Greenup, IL during a 1 hour enduro. Vern carried the torch with Crew Chief

Walter on hand to battle the heat and bugs after fitting the Phazer with some KC

Hiliters. During the technical inspection session it became apparant the Vern

would have to bump up to Class 10 to compete. Class 10 is MAORA's newest

Class and has cars with twice the horsepower as Vern regularly faces in the

traditional Class 16. At 9PM sharp the flag was dropped as both the cars and

trucks to the 3/4 mile track in the darkness. It didn't take the top Class 10

performers long to put Vern a 1/2 lap down on the greasy well watered course.

Vern was busy trying to identify his marks ran a steady pace for the first 20

minutes waiting for the track to dry settling into 3rd place. At the 30 minute mark

Vern fell a lap down to the fast paced duo from Ohio then after a quick pit clean

the lights for better visibility Vern lost another lap. With 20 minutes left the 2nd

place car suffered a rollover in turn 2 Vern made a run to the finish battling with

the leader in lap traffic Vern was able to regain one lap with a strong finish as

one of the fastest cars on the track. At the end Vern had clicked off enough laps

to capture 2nd place in Class 10 and 2nd overall. It was a different experience

racing @ night something team Double W will entertain in the future.
