Photos from the races on February 17 and 18, 2001 at Oneida Lake
We had some great racing this weekend on Oneida. The access to the lake was
not great, but it worked. The lake surface was smooth, hard, and highly
polished from the wind and snow. There was enough wind that the only snow on
the surface was in constant motion.
The street touring class was great to watch. With all the lead changing
going on, the only way to decide a winner was to decide which lap to through
the checkered flag.
The Menard cars also had great racing throughout the weekend. I think I even
won one of the open races.
I was real glad that I opted to travel Friday night instead of Saturday
morning. Some of the ice racers from the west arrived claiming they had
already had enough driving excitement for the weekend.
We will see what next weekend brings. Could be Waneta, or could be Oneida.
Either way, get yourselves ready to take advantage of this year's great
racing season.

Nick Julian and his vintage SAAB 96 come out of retirement! (Now, does this make Nick a vintage driver, or the driver of a vintage car?)

The inside line must have worked...
