Race of Champions Announcement
The EpicVentures team
will take on competitors from all around New York
State plus some invaders from Pennsylvania and New
Jersey at the "Steel Palace", Oswego
Speedway, as part of the 57th running of the Sunoco
Race of Champions. Plans are in place for the #5 and
driver Terry Cheetham to participate in the test
session on Thursday to get everything "dialed
in" for Friday's 100 lap SST Modified Sportsman
main event.
Team owner Tom Fecteau
will not have his #50 in attendance as the decision
was made to focus on putting together the best
possible motor and chassis combination for Terry and
the #5. The team understands the #50 could have been
repaired from the big crash at Spencer Speedway, but
that would not have allowed enough time to give Terry
the best chance at victory.
Fellow SST driver and
associate team member Jody London offered up his #89
to Tom, but again, the decision remains to put all
team energy towards a win at the ROC.
In additional news,
Super Six driver and team advisor, Kris Hillegeer,
teamed up with car owner John Giglio to complete the
rebuild of a Super Stock. Kris will make his rookie
appearance at Oswego Speedway in the 75 lap Super
Stock main event on Saturday. The Giglio mount is the
former Luke Cino-Wilbur Hebing car which will be
powered by a fresh Doug Cheetham/ TW Automotive/EpicVentures
motor. Our team is excited about seeing Kris test his
skills at the next level of racing and will be provide
crew support on Saturday.
Also, remember to keep
your calendars open for Saturday, October 6th at
Wyoming County International Speedway for the
Coca-Cola Fall Shootout. Jody London will be there to
close out the year in the SST 75 lap special and we
will be there honoring Jody's father, and our long
time friend, as part of the 50 lap Super Stock
"Dave London Memorial". EpicVentures will be
participating in the "lucky 15" bonus lap
money which will increase the overall purse to these
fine racers.
Wish us well at Oswego
and we hope to see you all very soon. |
