Mother Nature Wins Round #7 – Summit Point Raceway

The Bridgestone/WERA National Endurance Series and Michelin/WERA National Sprints Round at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia August 8/9/10 saw beautiful weather on Friday and Saturday, but Mother Nature put a real hurting on Sunday.

Friday saw low 80 degrees with sunshine and a cool breeze. Qualifying saw Robert Jensen, Dane Westby and local David Joseph Rose duke it out in the 600 Superstock to take the front row in that order. In the Open Superstock the Master, Tray Batey took five laps and took pole for Sunday. Dane Westby and local Tim Bemisderfer rounded out the front row for Sunday’s race.

Saturday was a repeat of Sunday. 27 Teams took the grid of the Bridgestone, WERA National Endurance Round #7. At the end of six hours, with only one short red flag in hour four for a bike down in the track in Turn !, Vesrah finished with 268 laps, Brand X was on lap 266 at the end and the #7 Dalke Motorsports was third with 260 laps. Vesrah, with John Jacoby and Tray Batey riding took 1st Heavyweight Superbike, TVR 131, with Chuck Ivey, Zac Chapman and Jimmy Vanderhaar took 1st Heavyweight Superstock. Local Team and Series Contender Velocity Crew with Kevin Perkins, Paul Youngman and Evan Semoff took 1st Mediumweight Superbike. Dalke Motorsports took 1st Mediumweight Superstock with riders Dane Westby and Dustin Meador on board and 1st Lightweight Superbike honors went to Tenessee’s Ghetto Customs with riders Chris Parrish, Russ Stoddard, Cale Swiger and Tim Birdsong sharing riding duties.

Sunday saw a good start to the day and after the lunch break clouds started coming in. Race #1 of the Michelin/WERA National Challenge, Open Superstock Expert/Novice, saw Tray Batey take the win. Behind him were locals Tim Bemisderfer and then Series regular Robert Jensen rounded out the podium Jensen setting the fastest lap of the race with a 1:12.422. Jimmy Merck took the Novice win with Keith Dattisman and Michel Wheelis rounding out their podium. Race #2, 600 Superstock Novice saw Greg Miller from Centreville, VA take the win from series regular Jevaughn Simmons from Smiths, Bermuda taking second and Michigan’s Robert Rowles taking third. Race #3, 600 Superstock Expert had Dane Westby first, Robert Jensen second and David Joseph Rose third, a finish mirrored by the qualifying on Friday. Race #4 was not run and in Race #5, 750 Superstock Novice Jimmy Merck took the win with Greg Miller and Robert Rowles rounding out the podium. Then Mother Nature decided to come through with a shower. The track has pavement problems in turns 1, 4, 5 and 6 and the sealer used to try to patch until repaving can be completed was not friendly in the wet. WERA Officials decided to wait it out, but another shower just as the track was drying had the track still wet at 4:30pm. The track blower tried to dissipate the water, but in spite of a valiant effort races had to be called at 5:00pm when the track was still not close to dry. WERA will issue credits to those who did not get to race on Sunday and will also look at re-assigning the contingency still available.

Round #8 finds the Bridgestone/WERA National Endurance, Michelin/WERA National Sprint riders at Barber Motorsports Park in Leeds, Alabama over the September 19/20/21 weekend.. Camping is available at the track.
