Just letting everyone know last night I was approached by a driver who broke his car friday night during warm up. His rear end locked up due to gear set coming loose. The driveshaft twisted in half also breaking the tail shaft section off there 4speed and bending the main shaft of there trans also. It was a catastrophic failure ending their night to say the least.
Seeing how bad they were in need we stepped up the way his season has been going we could not let it end so fast :Idiots.So we joined their crew now we are a participating sponsor of #78 Chevy Monte Carlo SS “Carl” enjoy the new parts and get back out there currently he is 1 point away from 4th and 6 points away from 1st he can make 1st place lets cheer him on and support him in the next 5 to 6 races! Please Come and support us on friday’s
That’s quite unfortunate.
How does he need to place to get 1st overall in the next races?
Very nice man. thats what real racers do.
He did good tonight in his hot laps he was running a 16.06 then a 16.01 lap time. In Qualifying he finished 4th in the final Carl started 4th pushed/sucked off the back stretch into the sand and rocks dragging them back on the track onto turn 3 so yellow came out clean up issued. They went about 4 caution laps just to keep things moving green came back out on lap 5 4th turn, Black car 77 decides to run three deep gets pinned against the wall and couldn’t hold it and went from the front straight wall down about 60% of the wall then slid sideways off track into the pit opening :rofl It was funny to see right off the yellow flag.
From lap 5 to 30 he pushed the car very hard getting his nose in every corner going from 11 dead last back to a push between 5th and 6th. Last corner he got into it a little to hard nosed in and hit the brakes so not to hit anyones car and the rear came around after a good shove by 19 and he spun and shutdown on the last corner 19 had no engine and didn’t finish was pushed back to the pits and the race was over.
No Carl did not get first but he drove the whole race and hard and for that we are proud he worked very hard to get the car back on the track and he drove her hard hats off Carl what a show!:thumbup
Congratulation’s to all who participated and raced there hearts out it was fun and worth every second.
Took first in heat and took first in feature took home the trophy and an extra $200 for the hard charger award. :number1 (77) ran great newer driver:thumbup his partner’s ignition pick up went bad glad it was not something worse didn’t sound good at all under any throttle it just broke up and misfired went from 3rd to last.
Hey just a update for all who followed this Carl Gilifus is a cheap scamer and so is his father Fred car #78 at malta speedway They have Shafted me with a $186 Parts bill for a full custom exhaust made and installed on there race car that track proven put them up front to win there last few races of the season Im glad I made another car faster but got stuck with the parts bill for pipe and mufflers after starting the job donating my labor. In the end I lost $800 in labor in parts when they only had to pay $186 and ran away!
Thats a shame, people like this don’t belong on the track…
