Event #6

Race City Motorsports Park 

August 18 - 19

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

 

 

Joe Delehay and his PM Motorsports team had the perfect weekend in their home town of Calgary, Alberta. Joe and the team gained as many points as the WCPMA points system can give you last weekend, they qualified number one, set event top mph and et, re-set the track MPH record, and went on to win the event infront of the hometown crowd in Calgary. "To set low ET, top speed, and track record and win the event was a dream come true for our team. We were licking our wounds after a disappointing outing in Boise the week before where we had as fast a car as anyone but didn’t get it done on race day" said Delehay.

Delehay, who won this race a year ago, looks at Race City Motorsports park as a good luck charm as he's won this event two years in a row in his mission to be the back to back 2006/2007 West Coast Pro Mod Champion. "I have to give the credit to my crew. They gave me a race car that was set up for this track perfectly, its very hard to get these cars down some tracks under power and to accomplish what we had set out to do, gain as many points as possible in Calgary. All I had to do was drive (pedal) it properly and get from “A to B” and fortunately I was able to do that to get the win. " says Joe.

In eliminations Delehay had a bye in the first round, and another bye in the semi-finals as Keith Korecki couldnt make the call. In the final round of eliminations Delehay took on points rival Dan Vogt. The final round was very important this weekend as number one in points at the time Trevor Lowe had mechanical difficulties after qualifying and couldnt race in eliminations leaving the number one spot up for grabs between Delehay and Vogt. Delehay was out for revenge after the first race of the year when Vogt defeated him by a hole shot then Vogt went on to win the race. Not only did Delehay defeat Vogt but he won on the hole shot in what was the closest final round this WCPMA Season. "This weekend we got it done big time. Dan Vogt beat me in Salt Lake on a hole shot so it was very satisfying to return that favor in the final round here in front of our guests, friends and family" said Delehay.

The points chase comes down to the last race of the year as Trevor Lowe, Dan Vogt, and Joe Delehay are all with in 200+ points of each other.

 

Delehay and the team will be heading to the last race of the season September 1-2 in Billings, Montana in hopes of reaching their goal of becoming back to back West Coast Pro Mod Champions.
