Alumi Craft goes Big at the Big House, Crandon Wisconsin
Alumi Craft racers put in a dominating performance at the “Big House,” Crandon International Raceway, taking three first place victories and six out of nine possible podium positions. The TORC series’ second stop at Crandon Raceway on Sept. 1st through the 4th included additional racing on Friday to make up the round lost to rain at the spring Crandon event. The additional day of racing gave the Alumi Craft team one more opportunity to outshine the competition and to add more points towards the season long championship battle between current leader CJ Greaves and fellow Alumi Craft racer Larry Job.
The big track at Crandon seems to suit Larry Job quite well. He had flawless back-to-back wins on Friday and Saturday. “We took the hole-shot right from the start on both days and ran out front the entire race, I never even used a tear-away and the front of the car was still clean at the end of the race,” said Larry. “I have to give credit to my team for giving me a great car both days and if it weren’t for a waterlogged crank trigger on Sunday in the mud, we might have had a clean sweep of the weekend. I didn’t sleep much Friday night thinking about what I could do to improve after Friday’s race. Our convincing win on Saturday gave the whole team confidence that we can consistently run out front in all types of track conditions. So far we are three out of four at Crandon and each time we come here we learn a little more about what it takes to win here.”
Alumi Craft racer CJ Greaves also had a great weekend at the big house finishing second to Larry Job on Friday, fourth place on Saturday and pulled out a hole-shot for the lead after the competition yellow in horribly muddy track conditions to take his fourth win of the season on Sunday. Alumi Craft racers Mike Porter finished second in Saturday’s race and Andy Zipperer got his first podium of the season finishing third on Sunday to add to the tally of impressive results. CJ’s victory ties him with Larry at four wins a piece on the season but CJ holds the edge on top three finishes with eight over Larry’s six and has a convincing points lead in the season long championship standings.
