The new Merced Speedway
Andy decided late Sunday
Morning to take his Little Darlins, Steitz
Service, Con Fab, Matt’s Performance, Snap-On
Tools, Pacific Coast Battery, Victory Imca
Modified to the New Merced Speedway for an
afternoon of racing. Merced is a tight
high-banked quarter mile, not having time to
change gear ratio before the race Andy knew that
getting off the corner might be a disadvantage.
Starting 8th after a third place run in
his heat Andy managed to race up to fifth place.
Trying different lines to get the car to perform
he spun himself out on lap 12. After the restart,
he was moving through traffic fairly well when
another competitor ran out of talent and wrecked
him pretty bad. Oh well. Stuff happens.
Preparations on going on
this week to take the Super Late Model to Andy’s
favorite track, Bakersfield Speedway this
Saturday.
Thanks as always to everyone
who helps out……

Ocean Speedway
After what seems like a month
of fighting with electrical issues Andy was able
to take his Little Darlins, Steitz Service, Con
Fab, Matt’s Performance, Snap-On Tools, Pacific
Coast Battery, Victory Imca Modified from a 15 th
starting position to a nice 2nd place
finish. At the start of the race Andy felt he a
the car to beat, working through traffic he caught
the leader with about 3 laps to go…lapped traffic
play a role in the outcome when Andy was pinched
to the outside line and was never able to complete
the pass….well at least the car finished a whole
race…..Thanks to all that helped….

25 of the fastest Super Late
Models in California signed in at
Chris Kerns Santa Maria
Speedway.
Andy drew a low number and
was the first car out and qualified 10th the out
of the 25 other competitors. This was the first
race with our new all aluminum motor and as
expected there were a few little gremlins to deal
with. Matt worked his magic on the carb and
re-timed the motor and it seemed to have made a
big difference.
Andy started 7th
in the main event and was able to make some moves
to fifth but then started to have handling issues
and managed to come home in tenth place.
Andy and the crew have a bit
of work to do to get ready for the next race on
the 21st of August at his favorite race
track Bakersfield Speedway.
Once again Obertello Racing
would like to thank Eric and Davene Oldes of
Little Darlins Child Care, Rob Hoff of Snap-on
Tools,
Con Fab Corp of California,
Hogge Racing, Matt’s Performance and all of the
crew that help and support our racing efforts….
