Pics just came out, courtesy of A-S Speedway. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/smallcarwinner.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/smallcarwinner.jpg) I’d like to thank the Albany Saratoga crew for putting on a great event for us all yesterday. Track prep was great and I was impressed with how closely the tech guys checked everyone’s tires for rules compliance. Last year’s FWD winner John Rayome was one of them. Thanks for helping out John! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/bigcarwinner.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/bigcarwinner.jpg) Congrats to Danny Ody, [who was runner up last year in this race], but brought home the gold yesterday in the RWD division! ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/burnoutstuck.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/burnoutstuck.jpg) Action during the FWD race. When ice racing on unstudded tires, it is said that “slower is faster”. The snow banks were pretty big and very soft. Those who carried a bit too much speed into a corner ended up in the banks. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/bigcarcheckrs.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v452/blownb310/bigcarcheckrs.jpg) Dan’s '69 Caddy is sporting a 502 cubic inch engine under the hood. Danny didn’t open those huge secondaries in his Rochester Quadrajet all day. He knows all about the “slower is faster” deal. 😉 The same cannot be said for Derrick McGrew and his similar '69 Caddy seen in the snow bank. I am told he ended up there in just the second lap! ![http://www.v8buick.com/images/smilies/kopfpatsch.gif](http://www.v8buick.com/images/smilies/kopfpatsch.gif) The entire day was awesome. From the close racing, to the warm [for January] windless weather, to the great track prep. However I can’t understand why the car count was down? Only 26 cars in FWD and 10 in RWD? I think 66 cars started in FWD alone last year at this race and it was a much colder day at last year’s event! Can anyone offer an opinion as to why this was? I’m completely baffled. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/albany-saratoga-hangover-100-enduros-jan-5-2008/40636)._
