WATERFORD WINNER CHRISTOPHER DISQUALIFIED FOR FUEL VIOLATION
Pasteryak Declared Winner After Wild Finish |
 Plainville,
CT, veteran Ted Christopher passed under the
checkered flag first Saturday night but Sunday
morning found himself disqualified from the race due
to a rules infraction.
Christopher led the majority of the “Wings & Wheels
100” at New London-Waterford Speedbowl until a lap
93 pass by Chris Pasteryak, of Jewett City, CT, who
then pulled way until a late race caution. On a
green-white-checker restart, Pasteryak and
Christopher hooked up in a side-by-side battle until
Christopher made an inside pass move on the last lap
to go on to an apparent victory.
The Valenti Modified Racing Series, on Sunday,
announced the disqualification of Ted Christopher
and car # 00 from the official finish of the 100-lap
race June 8, 2015 at New London-Waterford Speedbowl,
Waterford, CT.
Series founder-owner Jack Bateman noted fuel samples
taken from the #00 in post race inspections were
found to be in violation of the 2015 VMRS Rulebook
Section 1.15: Fuel.
Series Technical Director Bob Carrita explained the
rule.” We use
Sunoco Standard Purple 110 Leaded and Sunoco Supreme
Blue 112 Leaded. They are the only fuels allowed by
series rule.” “The rule clearly states blending or
mixing of fuels is not allowed. His fuel color was
very light and it did not pass.”
The series does do random checks on fuel but most
often checks the top five finishers. The top five
were checked Saturday night.
Finishing drivers in Saturdays race will be moved up
one position.. Chris Pasteryak, the runner-up
driver, is declared the winner.
