Round Two & Three.....Midwest OpenComp Series


The turnout for round three and four of the Midwest OpenComp Series was fantastic the weekend of June 18-19 at Cedar Falls Rcaeway.
With well over 100 cars in attendance for the Ford Shotout Weekend we had sixtenn entries for the Saturday OpenComp race...Sunday's attendance was about half of that...I don't know if that's because it was Father's Day or if alot of folks just don't want to stick it out for a two day race?

Saturday's field was led by the fast and beuatiful 87 T-Bird of Mike Hinsch at a 8.90 and bookended by the equally beautiful but not quite as fast 95 Mustang that belonged to Lori Simpson at a 15.07 index.

Sundays's event wasn't quite as large but the racing was no less intense as Bill Lehman's 68 Mustang led the way with a 9.72 and Ed Stettin brought up the rear in his "back-up" Mercury Sable at a 16.04 (the new transmission for his 'lil coupe was stuck at a UPS depot).
