Oswego Classic 2008
WOW! What else can one say about Classic weekend? Amazing, unbelievable, incredible…okay I will put the thesaurus away-but it was-well you fill in the blank _______!
Dave’s story was the story of the weekend, heck of the century! Here you have a driver who has only run one race (with the wing) at Oswego; you take the wing off and watch out.
Due to gear problems, Dave was not able to qualify for the Oswego Classic on time, so he had to run the Bud Light B-Main. He gets the outside pole for the Bud Light B-Main, based on time trials he never looked back. It was all Dave-all race long. No one could touch him. Dave was out running some names that are pretty good, names such as Bobby Santos III, Justin Belforie, Michael Barnes, and even Gene Lee Gibson, can you say what’s wrong with this picture?
Domination was the name of the game. Dave held everyone off for 15 of the longest laps run to date. But Dave wasn’t happy with just leading the race, oh no, he had to lead by about three or four car lengths for the entire race. He ruled the restarts.
Dave’s dream was to run a big block super, well three years ago he saw that dream come true. Now while running a limited ISMA schedule, Dave decided to try for yet another dream, making the Oswego Classic.
From Dave himself on lining up for the Oswego Classic:
“The prestige of the Classic and the pageantry of opening ceremonies were just incredible. Make you feel like you are getting ready for the Indy or Daytona 500. We didn’t know what to expect when the race started so I told the one guy starting behind me to go ahead and go because I’m not.
I rode around a few laps feeling the car out and it seemed to handle really well. So I decided it was time to start racing a bit and that’s when it popped out of gear again. Unbeknownst to us, it was the half shaft and the rear end was broke.
So we only ran 45 laps, but it was still the greatest weekend we’ve had in a long time. I can’t wait to try it again!”
From Dave on winning the Bug Light B-Main:
“Winning that was the highlight of my Big Block racing career so far. Not only winning the race, which was huge, but qualifying for the Oswego Classic in our first ever attempt. This was a real big confidence builder for the future.”
You know it’s your time when everything falls into place; when the cards are lined up in your favor. Dave had problems with qualifying due to the broke rear end, he had problems finishing the Classic because of the broke rear end, but not once did he have a problem during the Bud Light B-Main. He ran a smooth race, held his line and dominated the race. We can’t figure it out ourselves, but sometimes you just can’t and need to accept the goodness that comes with it.
Next race is All-Star Speedway, September 13th.
