Dave White Racing

It has been a significant period, and the successful reassembly and return to racing of the street stock at Riverhead Raceway has been a remarkable achievement. I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the car's performance this evening. Special thanks are due to Rob Bader, the Joe Paprocky team, Ed for his invaluable assistance, and Frank Deveto for his presence in the pits.

Regarding the evening's events:
During practice, we recorded a lap time of 15.1 seconds, despite the car's suboptimal condition, which was the best available at the time. The vehicle exhibited a reluctance to accept throttle input. Consequently, I adapted a driving technique similar to that used in a go-kart, maintaining approximately 4,000 RPM as the optimal range. It is worth noting that the brakes experienced intermittent functionality. This issue will be addressed promptly.

The race itself was satisfactory, with consistent lap times in the 15-second range. However, due to multiple caution periods and the subsequent loss of the alternator belt, the car experienced a power loss, concluding our participation. This served as a valuable shakedown run, and we will now focus on enhancing the vehicle's speed.

Attached are photographs documenting the car's restoration process, from its initial state to its current condition, a project that commenced in May. My appreciation goes out to everyone involved in this endeavor.
