 The
trip to the Brighton Speedway this
past Saturday night was one that
Dick Mahoney would probably just
as soon forget.
Although
the night would end on a bad note
not all was bad. Dick ran out
front in his 8 lap heat before
being passed by eventual winner
Glenn Styres. The #79 would finish
second and qualify for the Dash
for Cash in which he would finish
fourth. The night was going well
for 'The Pig' as he would start on
the inside of the second row at
the beginning of the feature
event.
The
good starting spot in the 20 lap
A-Main would be short lived. At
the drop of the green flag the
front row got out of shape. Dick
and a number of other cars checked
up and bounced around making it
through corners 1 and 2. However
half way down the back stretch
Dick made contact with another car
and the results were not pretty.
The #79 shot up into the air and
rolled severely down the remainder
of the back stretch and off of
corner number three. Dick was able
to climb from the car with only
soreness to his shoulder. The car
was not as fortunate.
Dick Mahoney and the #79 team
will work hard this week to get back into action on
Saturday July 15th at the South
Buxton Raceway in Merlin, Ontario. |
