On the heels of Steve Reed/Cape May TT, it was another stellar team day at Allamuchy. Year 11 of this Time Trial and still running strong, in Warren County courtesy of Bob Peters’ design. What started as a rainy/overcast day changed course for bright sun and a nice podium ceremony at Evergreen Park. Stop #2 in this year’s Cup Series.

Shout outs all around for both team support and lots of Somerset racers. As always, Dottie and Joe Saling were book ends keeping me on track with all of our preliminary race planning, course set-up, take down and Joe was our starter, rover, etc. Dottie was the manager of the Pavillion team at registration, helped with prizes, finances, questions etc. Our overall course support included:

• Rod Murray – course set-up
• Ken Drake – Whip
• Maria and Greg Schutske- Shades of Death first turn
• Dan Dalfonzo – turnaround (+ bear sighting)
• Mike Brent, Herman Storms – Gibbs turn
• Paul Tippett, Marc Perrault – Longbridge left

Thanks so much for coming together to support a great, safe race. Additionally, special thanks to Bob Perlee (webmaster) for keeping us on track with prelim work, flyers, sponsors, start lists, results etc. Also, Bob and Don Madsen were out there taking pictures of everyone.

And, of course the racing contingent. Special kudos to the podiums for Jennifer Smeddy (a brand new member), Keegan Danielson, Gino Romaniello, and Rick Anderson. Other racers today included Rod Murray, Rick Danielson, Betty Tyrell, Ron Romaniello, Dan Reiss and myself.

Lastly, thanks to Heather Dalfonzo for coming out with a table of great lotions, soaps etc. Was well received. Also, of course our prizes courtesy of our sponsors. Today, mainly being Pactimo, Rudy, and a myriad of tires that we’ve received. Thanks Rick Danielson for those. This is a great venue as the town, county, park and NJ State police work with us well. None of this would be possible without all of your support, so thanks again. We’ll take a collective breath and get ready for our Lew Saling Memorial TT on May 11. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Live Results were posted, along with podium results. A prettier version later from Bob Perlee putting this race in the books. I’ll get that out to the riders also. Great promotion from Team Somerset!
