Anvelink makes first trip count with EWSC late model victory

Kudick, Erickson, Schroeder, Rivest, Bergene, Klumb notch triump

By Jeff Pederson of Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 19, 2016 – On a night that featured a little bit of everything, from breathtaking last-lap passes and photo finishes to hard flips and multi-car pileups, it was Nick Anvelink of Bonduel who claimed the top prize in the 25-lap Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Late Model headliner Friday night at Manitowoc Speedway.

Making his first start of the season at Manitowoc, Anvelink bested a stout field of 21 Late Models to claim the A main victory in a race which carried an elevated $1,000 first place payout.

In the Modified division Kyle Kudick of Two Rivers held off a spirited last-lap challenge from Eric Scribner of Kiel to claim the 20-lap A main. Justin Erickson of Plymouth nipped Ryan Minster of Sheboygan in a photo finish to cap an entertaining 20-lap Grand National A main.

Cody Schroeder of Manitowoc was the victor in the 20-lap Sport Mod main event, while Brody Rivest of Sheboygan claimed the 12-lap Sport 4 A main in his initial appearance at Manitowoc Speedway this season. Walker Bergene of Whitelaw topped a field of three Thunder Trucks in the A main and Dennis Klumb of Adell came out on top in the main event for the visiting Winged Super Modified division.

After the initial start was negated for a spin involving Charlie Schmidt of Oostburg, outside front row starter Brett Swedberg of Shawano bolted past polesitter Ron Stroika of Mukwonago to take the lead in turn four on the opening lap

As Swedberg pulled away along the cushion, fifth starter Turk Letizia of Milwaukee used the outside groove to work past Stroika in turn two. Meanwhile, Taylor Scheffler of Waukesha was charging his way to the front of field as the moved into fourth place on lap 5 and passed Stroika to assume third two laps later.

Later on lap 7, Mitch McGrath of Waukesha slowed on the back stretch after losing a driveshaft to bring out the first caution flag of the event.

On the restart, a red flag was displayed to the field following a major incident on the frontstretch triggered by chain reaction contact between Justin Hirt of Tigerton, Justin Schmidt of Cleveland, Joe Bongiorno of Milwaukee and Dave Thomas of Franklin. Schmidt ended up flipping in the melee, which forced all four drivers to retire from the race.

After the restart, Scheffler cleared Letizia for third with a low move in turn two and quickly tracked down the high riding Swedberg on lap 8 before seizing the top spot in turn two on lap 9.

Nick Anvelink, who started 12^th, moved into third place by passing Letizia on lap 10 before diving underneath Swedberg for second place on lap 11.

As Scheffler caught up to lapped traffic on lap 16, Anvelink cut into the gap significantly moving into challenge for the top spot on lap 18. After running an impressive race, Scheffler’s hopes of gaining the victory came to an end as he slowing with mechanical trouble on lap 20 to bring out another caution.

With Scheffler out of the race, Anvelink assumed the top spot in front of 11^th starter Mike Mullen of Seymour in second and Swedberg in third. The former winner of the prestigious George Scheffler Memorial Race at Manitowoc pulled away over the final five years to post his first victory of the season at Manitowoc in his season debut at the track.

Mullen was second, followed by Swedberg in third, seventh starter Kyle Odekirk of Plymouth fourth and Turk Letizia in fifth.

The action was equally fast and furious in an action-packed 20-lap Grand National A main, which featured four different leaders.

Dan Schumacher of Germantown assumed the lead on the first lap from his outside front row starting spot before a spin by Brad Lubach of Kiel brought out an early caution.

On the restart, an eight-car pileup in between turns three and four slowed the pace again. Seven of the eight cars in the involving in the incident where able to return to action, while Chris Gilson of Elkhart Lake was knocked out of the race.

When the race resumed, fifth starter Tyler Kulow of Plymouth moved into the top spot with a low move in turn one with outside second row starter Josh Pierce of Fredonia following in second.

Point leader Ryan Minster moved up from the 12^th starting position to battle with Kulow and Pierce for the lead, as the three drivers mounted a spirited duel for the top spot for six laps before Minster slid between Kulow and Pierce to gain the lead in turn two on lap 8.

Minster controlled the race for the next 11 laps, while eighth starter Justin Erickson of moved into second place on lap 12. Erickson steadily gained on Minster over the next seven laps to set up a thrilling battle to the finish on the white flag lap.

Erickson dove underneath Minster in turn two on the final lap and the two determined drivers raced side by side down the backstretch before Erickson again shot low in turns three and four to nudge his way in front of Minster.

When the dust cleared, it was Erickson nipping Minster at the line by half a car length to earn his first victory at Manitowoc Speedway this season. Despite leading the most laps in the race, Minster had to settle for second, Kulow was third, followed by seventh starter Tim Simon of Fond du Lac in fourth and Brad Lubach, who battled back from an opening lap spin to place fifth.

The Modified A main featured an equally fabulous finish courtesy of the fleet tandem of Kyle Kudick and Eric Scribner.

Joel Crowbridge of Union Grove grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag from his outside front row starting spot. On lap 3, seventh starter Kyle Kudick assumed second place and quickly set his sights on the leader.

After the lone caution flag of the race flew on lap 9 for the stalled car of Ben Godlewski of Sussex, Kudick bolted past Crowbridge to grab the lead on the restart.

As Kudick paced the field, Scribner, who started fifth, raced into second place on lap 13 and began to pressure Kudick for the lead. With Kudick running high and Scribner down low, the two dueled side by side to the finish with Kudick holding off Scribner’s final lap charge by a matter of mere feet to claim his second Modified victory of the season at Manitowoc.

Scribner wound up second, followed by Crowbridge in third, polesitter Matt Jackson of Sheboygan in fourth and third starter Joel Seegert of Sheboygan fifth.

Jayden Schmidt of Seymour grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag from his outside front row starting position of the Sport Mod A main.

Schmidt held the top spot before a red flag halted the race by a four-car incident involving Justin Bauer of Sheboygan Falls, John Rothmund of Manitowoc, Glenn Blanke of Sheboygan Falls and Chad Vetting of Valders. Rothmund spun exiting four turn and, with nowhere to go, Bauer hit Rothmund’s car head on before flipping. Despite the heavy contact, both drivers emerged from their cars without injury.

Schmidt continued to lead when the race resumed, but he quickly began to feel pressure from fifth starter Cody Schroeder. The 2014 Manitowoc Speedway Sport Mod track champion, ducked low on lap 5 to challenge Schmidt for the lead. The two drivers battled door handle to door handle over the better part of the next six laps, before Schroeder finally surged ahead in turn two on lap 11.

Meanwhile, seventh starter Travis Arenz of Sheboygan assumed second place on lap 12 and closed on Schroeder on lap 14. However, Schroeder proved to be too strong as he maintained a solid advantage en route to his first Sport Mod A main victory of the season at Manitowoc.

Arenz was second, followed by sixth starter Travis Hansen of Brillion in third, point leader Brian Bruechert of Kewaunee, who started eighth, in fourth and third starter Hunter Parsons of Green Bay fifth.

In the 12-lap Sport 4 A main, fourth starter Brody Rivest took the lead from second starter Ben Meyerhofer of Menasha on lap 2 and cruised to a comfortable victory in his first appearance at Manitowoc Speedway this season.

Meyerhofer was second, Shaun Bangart, who started seventh, was third, Mike Zitzer of Sheboygan was fourth after starting eighth and Mitch Meier of Chilton finished fifth after starting sixth.

Walker Bergene was the victor in the Thunder Truck A main ahead of Tory Peterson of Sturgeon Bay and Mark Starr of Seymour.

After starting fourth in the Winged Super Modified A main, Dennis Klumb cruised to victory over Keith Anderson of Sheboygan, Keith Borth of Sheboygan, Roy Stern of Hustisford and Bob Brion of Plymouth.

The evening, which drew a field of 86 cars in seven divisions, marked Past Champions and Police, Fire and EMS Night at the Races.

EWSC racing action continues this Wednesday, Aug. 24 with the annual fair race during the Manitowoc County Fair. The racing program will feature Sprint Cars, Late Models, Grand Nationals and Sport Mods with action to begin at 7 p.m.

The final night of racing ever at Manitowoc Speedway will take place the following week on Saturday, Sept. 3 as season champions will be crowned in the Sprint Car, Late Model, Modified, Sport Mod, Sport 4 and Thunder Truck divisions. Racing will begin for the Manitowoc Speedway curtain closer at 6 p.m.

Tough luck hounds Pokorski Motorsports

Tough luck hounds Pokorski Motorsports

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 17, 2016 – In a season filled with ups and downs, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team experienced the low end of the pendulum during a Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader last Saturday, Aug. 13 at the Plymouth Dirt Track and Sunday, Aug. 14 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie.

While the weekend’s action saw Pokorski race his blue No. 4 Maxim past a total of 16 cars in heat race, B main and A main competition, he was unable to steer clear of trouble in both A main events, as a multi-car accident at Plymouth and a huge nine-car pileup at Angell Park derailed his efforts to record a top finish.

On Saturday night at the Plymouth Dirt Track, a field of 26 PDTR Sprint Cars checked into the pit area with sights set on claiming an added $600 to win the A main courtesy of the family of the late Paul Coppersmith, who was a big supporter of racing at Plymouth for many years.

Pokorski got things off to a flying start in the first PDTR Sprint Car heat race. After starting ninth, Pokorski powered past Justin Miller, Josh Teunissen and Jason Johnson to move into sixth place on the opening lap.

On lap 2, Pokorski got by Garrett Timothy in turn two before sneaking past Tyler Brabant for fourth place on lap 4. Pokorski was closing on the third place car of Mitchell Yurmanovich when a rear end gear problem flared up on lap 7. As the car popped in and out of gear over the final three laps, Pokorski limped home with an eighth place finish.

The gear issue relegated Pokorski to the third starting spot in the B main. Pokorski held his own throughout the 12-lap race to place third and earn a transfer spot to the A main.

The three-time Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car Winged Super Modified champion, who was honored at intermission along with many other past Plymouth track champions, lined up 18^th in the 22-car 25-lap A main event.

Pokorski used the high line on the fast and uneven track surface to move into 16^th place on lap 9. However, disaster struck one lap later, when contact with another car sent Justin Miller flipping in front of Pokorski and Ryan Mayr with all three cars making contact in turn three.

The incident forced Pokorski to retire from the race with a 21^st place finish. Brandon McMullen went on to post the victory over Lance Fassbender and Tim Haddy.

“We had a good car in the heat race Saturday at Plymouth, but mechanical gremlins got us and put us in a bad spot for the feature,” Pokorski said.

On Sunday night, the Pokorski Motorsports team ventured south to the historic Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie for the first MSA Sprint Car race at the track since 2010.

With a strong field of 24 MSA Sprint Cars on hand, Pokorski started fourth in the second heat race. On the opening lap Pokorski swept past Al Schlafer with a high move in turn one shortly after the drop of the green flag.

On lap three, MSA point leader Kurt Davis moved in to briefly challenge Pokorski for third place. However, Pokorski fended off the challenge before pulling away to close in on the second place car of Josh Walter in the final laps en route to a third place finish.

The 2014 MSA Masters Series champion started fifth in the A main and found himself in seventh place on the opening lap. He battled back to pass Chris Clayton along the outside groove to move into sixth place on lap 2, before Mitchell Yurmanovich hit the backstretch wall to bring out the first caution of the event.

On the restart, Pokorski got tangled up in a nine-car pileup in turn four, which brought out a red flag. After going to the work area, Pokorski restarted the race in the 17^th position. He then went to work passing five cars (Garrett Timothy, Zach Raidart, Dannon Tessmer, Tony Wondra and Josh Teunissen) over the final 13 laps of the race to post a 12^th place finish in the shortened 15-lap race.

Scotty Neitzel raced the Bob Hood-owned 10W car normally driven by Donny Goeden, to the A-main victory with a last corner pass on Kurt Davis.

“Sunday night we had a good heat race and got caught up in somebody’s wreck in the feature, which seems to be happening to us a lot lately,” Pokorski said. “The weekend did not quite go as planned. The last month or so has had its fair share of ups and downs, but we’ve been doing this long enough to know that it’s part of the deal and won’t last forever.”

This Saturday night the Pokorski Motorsports team will be in action at the Plymouth Dirt Track. Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with racing set to begin at 6 p.m.

On Wednesday, Aug. 24, the team will travel to the Manitowoc Speedway for the annual Manitowoc County Fair race. It will be the second to last race ever at the Manitowoc Speedway, which will close at the end of the season to make way for a Meijer store. Racing begins at 7 p.m.

Pokorski Motorsports makes headway in MSA double shot

Pokorski Motorsports makes headway in MSA double shot

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 10, 2016 – As the 2016 racing season turns the corner and builds momentum toward the home stretch, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team continue to search for the right combination to be a consistent threat at the front of the field.

Last week’s Midwest Sprint Association doubleheader at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam on Friday, Aug. 5 and The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, Aug. 6, saw the team make progress in certain areas, which it hopes will carry over during a busy August schedule.

On Friday, Aug. 5, Pokorski Motorsports was among 20 MSA sprint car teams that checked in to do battle at the high-speed horsepower half mile. After posting a season-best second place finish in the MSA’s last appearance at the Dodge County half mile, Pokorski drew the eighth starting spot in the second sprint car heat race. Following a good start, Pokorski passed Samantha Portschy and Dick Kaiser before the entrance to turn one on the opening lap.

On the second lap, Pokorski powered past Andrew Westphal in turn two to move into fifth place. As cars then began to spread out on the mammoth half-mile track, Pokorski held strong en route to a fifth place showing.

After starting fourth in the MSA A main, Pokorski stumbled a bit on the start, which allowed Tim Haddy to sneak by along on the frontstrech on the opening lap of the race.

Several laps later, Doug Pietz backed his car into the turn one outside wall to bring out the first caution of the event.

Luck was not on the team’s side on the ensuing restart, as two lapped cars restarted just in front of Pokorski along the low groove. In turn, this allowed Kurt Davis and Wayne Modjeski to work their way past Pokorski using the outside groove.

After a series of cautions and restarts, Pokorski held on to post an eighth-place showing in the final rundown behind race winner Tony Wondra.

“We did not run the same set up as when we finished second a month ago,” Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz said. “We had an eighth to 10^th-place car in July, but with the crash on the frontstretch that took our two or three of the frontrunners, we got in the mix at the front of the field.

“Paul was not comfortable with the car that night and that is why we decided to run what we had brought there last fall in the J&J car,” he said. “They are two totally different cars, so that is why we needed to change other things as well. Paul tried everything to keep the car from darting back and forth in the corners, but was not really successful. We will bring a whole new set up to Dodge County in the fall.”

On Saturday night, the team headed back to the Plymouth Dirt Track where it hoped to improve on the previous week when it failed to earn a spot the main event.

Pokorski started sixth in the third MSA heat race and due in part to very dry, slick track conditions he was not able to make up any positions and wound up in sixth place.

Due to a healthy contingent of 34 MSA cars in the pit area, a two B main formula was used to determine the final six qualifiers for the A main.

Needing to finish third or better to qualify for the A main, Pokorski found himself starting in the fourth place in the second B main. In the opening laps, Pokorski was passed by Chris Clayton to fall to fifth place.

On lap four, Pokorski swooped up to the thick, high cushion where we quickly found his rhythm.

He passed Clayton for fourth on lap 5 and two laps later bolted around Jason Johnson to seize the all-important third place A main transfer position. Pokorski didn’t stop there though as he moved in to duel with Nich Melis for second. The two drivers battled side by side in the closing laps before Pokorski pulled ahead to secure a second-place finish.

After starting the A main deep in the pack from the 20^th position, Pokorski again found the treacherous cushion to his liking. In the early stages of the race, Pokorski worked up five spots to grab 15^th.

On lap 11, the ever-changing track surface started to take rubber on the bottom, which prompted Pokorski to fall in line down low. As the field ran in freight train formation during the second half of the race, Pokorski was relegated to running low.

With two laps to go in the 25-lap race, Pokorski moved into 12^th place when Josh Teunissen briefly slipped out of the tacky rubber.

Pokorski held on to finish 12^th, while Donny Goeden cruised to his fifth victory of the season at Plymouth.

This weekend brings another MSA doubleheader starting with the Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday night, which will feature Autograph Night and an extra $600 for the winner of the MSA A main.

On Sunday night, the MSA will make its first appearance at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie in eight years.

“We have only run at Angell Park once in 2008 for the ‘Wingless at the Prairie’ event in 2008,” Schultz said. “The feature was cut short just after halfway that night due to so many cautions.

“Many cars, including our car, did not finish that night,” he said. “Our frame was pretty much junk after missing the cushion in turns 3 and 4. Despite the trouble we had the last time we were there, I am optimistic going into Sun Prairie because I think Paul adjusts well to new tracks.”

Spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday with racing to follow at 6 p.m. at the Plymouth Dirt Track. Saturday night is autograph night at the Plymouth Dirt Track and all kids are invited to stop in the Pokorski Motorsports pit area to pick up a signed Pedal Down Promotions Fast Track picture card and other goodies.

This Sunday at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie spectator gates open at 4:30 p.m. with hot laps at 6 p.m. and racing to follow.

Minster rides high groove to Grand National Nationals title

Minster rides high groove to Grand National Nationals title

Scribner, Arenz, Jungwirth, Maas claim Manitowoc A main victories

By Jeff Pederson

Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 5, 2016 – With extra prize money and additional prestige on the line, Ryan Minster of Sheboygan came through with a stirring late race charge along the rim of the track to claim the 30-lap Grand National Nationals A main victory in Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car racing action at the Manitowoc Speedway Friday, Aug. 5.

In the Modified division, Eric Scribner of Kiel captured his second consecutive 20-lap A main victory. Travis Arenz of Sheboygan netted his third A main triumph of the 2016 campaign in the 20-lap Sport Mod A main. Jeff Jungwirth of Oshkosh claimed the victory in the second and final Street Stock A main of the season at the Manitowoc Speedway, while Chris Maas of Oakfield claimed a wire-to-wire triumph in the 15-lap Sport 4 A main.

Polesitter Kodiak Wirtz of Menomonee Falls and outside front row starter Dan Sorce of Milwaukee led the field to the green flag in the Grand National Nationals main event. Wirtz and Sorce dueled side by side during the opening lap before Sorce surged ahead to gain the lead on lap 2.

As Sorce led the field, fifth starter Mark Fieber of Cascade moved up to assume third place. On lap 6, things really got interesting on the racy, multi-groove track when Fieber dove low, Wirtz stuck to the middle and Sorce road to the top of the speedway to set up a three-wide duel into turn one.

Fieber powered into the top spot before the first caution flag of the race flew on lap 7 for the stalled car of Steven Wirtz of Milwaukee. With scoring reverting to the lap before the caution, Fieber was relegated to third when the race returned to green flag action.

Again, Wirtz (low), Sorce (middle) and Fieber (high) battled three wide on lap 8 with Fieber gaining the top spot up high in turn four on lap 9. Fieber controlled the lead over the next 18 laps of the extended 30-lap event as battles for position raged behind him.

Ryan Minster, who started fourth worked his way into second place lap 11 and quickly set his sets on Fieber. After another caution came out on lap 20 for Kodiak Wirth, who stalled in turn two while running fourth, third starter Steven Weber of Plymouth wrestled second place away from Minster following the restart.

However, the man on the move was 10^th starter Nick Schumacher of Eagle, who shot up the high groove and began picking off cars at will. Schumacher assumed second place on lap 21 and was closing on Fieber before a caution flag was displayed for the stalled car of Manitowoc’s Greg Haese in turn 1 on lap 23.

On the restart, the second-running Schumacher attempted to move from the inside lane to the outside lane in turn one, but ended up jumping the cushion. The miscue allowed Minster to streak into second place.

Minster, who came into the night leading the Grand National point standings, then moved up to the ultra-fast outside groove on lap 25 and began to quickly track down Fieber, who stayed tied to the inside lane. Minster pulled even with Fieber in turn 1 on lap 27 before powering ahead in turn four.

Once ahead, Minster pulled away to notch his first Grand National A main victory of the season at Manitowoc, while Schumacher came on strong up high to nip Fieber at the line for second. Fieber came home third, 11^th starter Brad Lubach of Kiel placed fourth and Steven Wirtz, who originally started 14^th, battled back after stalling out on lap 7 to place fifth.

The 20-lap Modified A main proved to be all Eric Scribner, who posted a dominating half-lap victory for the second week in a row.

Polesitter Mike Klenz of West Bend led the opening lap, before Scribner, who started fourth, surged into the lead along the high groove on lap 2. Scribner wasted no time building up a big full straightaway advantage over Klenz.

In the closing laps, seventh starter Kyle Kudick of Two Rivers outdueled ninth starter Brian Crapser to assume second place. Kudick followed Scribner to the finish line in second, followed by Crapser in third, Modified point leader and sixth starter Jamie Schmidt of Seymour in fourth and Klenz rounded out the top five.

Travis Arenz survived a late-race battled with Manitowoc’s John Rothmund and point leader Brian Bruechert of Kewaunee to capture his third EWC Sport Mod A main victory of 2016.

On the drop of the green flag polesitter Russ Franks and Rothmund engaged in a side-by-side duel with Franks maintaining a slight edge on the first two laps. Rothmund moved ahead on lap three, while Arenz, who started ninth, and the 10^th starting Bruechert made their way to the front.

Arenz bolted into the lead on lap 10, but Rothmund stayed glued to his bumper during the remainder of the race with Bruechert and eight starter Cody Schroeder of Manitowoc also in hot pursuit.

Arenz held off all challengers en route to the victory, followed by Rothmund in second, Schroeder was third, Bruechert claimed fourth and fourth starter Jayden Schmidt of Seymour took fifth.

Outside front row starter Mark Baker paced the first nine laps of the A main for the visiting Street Street division before giving way to sixth starter Jeff Jungwirth on lap 10.

Josh McDonald of Hilbert, who started fourth, seized second place on lap 13, before 18^th starter Alex Crapser charged all the way up from the rear to assume the runner-up spot one lap later. Crapser followed Jungwirth to the line in second, third starter Adam Crapser placed third, McDonald wound up fourth and Jesse Krahn took fifth.

Polesitter Chris Maas turned in an impressive flag-to-flag victory in the 15-lap Sport 4 main event. Ben Meyerhofer of Menasha worked his way up from the 10^th starting spot to challenge Maas for the lead in the closing laps. However, Maas held on to claim his first Sport 4 A main victory at Manitowoc this season in just his second appearance at the track.

Meyerhofer finished second, but was later disqualified, Mike Meier of Chilton, who started sixth, placed third, point leader Shaun Bangart of Chilton placed fourth after starting ninth and Cody Pankow, who started 11^th, rounded out the top five.

Walker Bergene of Whitelaw was the Thunder Truck winner.

The evening, which drew a field of 96 cars in six divisions, was presented by Pink Heals of Manitowoc County and Badger Brew and Que.

The EWSC races next Friday, Aug. 12 will feature Past Champions Night and topless night with racers encouraged to compete without a roof on their cars. Action will take place in the Late Model, Grand National, Modified, Sport Mod, Sport Four and Thunder Truck divisions.

Just four nights of racing remain until the Manitowoc Speedway closes for good following the completion of the 2016 season.

Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing to begin at 7 p.m.

Pokorski Motorsports rides rollercoaster in MSA twinbill

Pokorski Motorsports rides rollercoaster in MSA twinbill

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) August 3, 2016 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team lived on opposite sides of the success spectrum in Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader action last weekend at the Manitowoc Speedway and the Plymouth Dirt Track.

After rain washed out the previous week’s action at the Plymouth Dirt Track, the Pokorski Motorsports team was eager to get back in the groove for the fourth of six scheduled Midwest Sprint Car Association events in the final season of racing at the Manitowoc Speedway on Friday, July 29.

With 20 cars in the MSA pit area, the evening got off to a fast start for Pokorski, who started on the pole of the third Sprint Car heat race. Pokorski, who grew up in Manitowoc, bolted into the lead on the drop of the green flag and wasted no time in building up a half straight lead before a caution flag appeared on lap 5 for the stalled car of Samantha Portschy.

On the restart, found Manitowoc Speedway Sprint Car point leader Kurt Davis on his tail tank with Donny Schlafer in tow. With the top two winningest drivers in MSA history lurking behind him, Pokorski was up to challenge as he pulled away over the final three laps to post his fourth heat race victory of the season.

After rolling off from the sixth spot in the 20-lap Sprint Car A main event, Pokorski dropped back to seventh in the early going before his car roared to life on the dry-slick track surface on the way to the front of the field.

On lap 3, Pokorski worked past Kurt Davis and Doug Wondra with a strong move along the preferred high groove. Pokorski held strong in the fifth position until lap 16, when he powered past Danny Schlafer with a well-executed slide job in turn two to move into fourth place.

Pokorski was not done yet as he worked the low line to slip past Anthony Knierim in turn four on lap 18. The 2014 MSA Masters Series champ cruised over the final two laps to notch a solid third place finish behind runner-up Justin Miller and race winner Lance Fassbender.

The team entered action on Saturday, July 30 at the Plymouth Dirt Track hoping to duplicate the success of the previous night at Manitowoc. However, that was not to be as things went sour quite quickly.

With a stout field of 32 MSA Sprint Cars signed in, Pokorski started sixth in the fourth Sprint Car heat race. At the halfway mark of the race, Al Schlafer flipped his car going into turn three. A delayed caution flag, several cars were forced to check up quickly as the leaders approached the accident scene.

As a result, Pokorski was unable to avoid contact with Kevin Karnitz, who had to get on the brakes hard as the field approached Schlafer’s disabled car. The contact resulted in a broken shock mount and bent radius rods on Pokorski’s car, which forced him to retire from the race. He was credited with a sixth-place finish.

“We were running just before the halfway mark and Al Schlafer flipped going into turn 3,” Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz said. “A very delayed red flag was called well after the leaders had gone through the start/finish line and were around turns one and two. Some drivers had to stomp on the brakes to keep from passing the red.

“Unfortunately, when that happened Paul got into Kevin Karnitz, which resulted in some damage,” he said. “A big ‘thank you’ should go out to Lance Fassbender for helping us make repairs and for welding the left front shock mount.”

The tough luck in the heat race forced Pokorski to start 12^th in the 16-car B main field. Pokorski managed to move up to finish ninth in the race, three spots out of a transfer position.

“Paul had to check up for a number of cars in the B main,” Schultz said. “The field just got too stretched out to make the ground back up that was necessary.

“It was certainly a tough night, but we will bounce back,” he said. “We’ve done it before.”

Another doubleheader weekend of MSA action is scheduled to kick off this Friday, Aug. 4 at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam. On Saturday night, the team will return to the Plymouth Dirt Track. Both nights will also feature the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.

Fassbender, Buhler headline winners at Manitowoc Speedway

Scribner, Steenbergen, Naidl, Bangart net A man victories

By Jeff Pederson

Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 29, 2016 – On a night when a huge field of 106 cars packed the pit area to capacity, a pair of veterans stole the headlines as Lance Fassbender of Burnett claimed his first victory of the season in the Sprint Car A main and Tim Buhler of Greenbush notched his second triumph of the 2016 campaign in the Late Model main event.

First-time winners ruled the evening as four of the evening’s six A main victors made their maiden visit to victory lane for the 2016 season.

One of those first-time winners was Jeff Steenbergen of Watertown, who held off Travis Arenz of Sheboygan and Brian Bruechert of Kewaunee to win an entertaining Sport Mod A main in his first appearance of the season at Manitowoc Speedway.

Eric Scribner of Kiel collected his first 2016 triumph in the Modified A main. Kevin Naidl of Reedsville outdueled Brad Lubach of Kiel to capture his initial 2016 win in the Grand National A main. Shaun Bangart of Chilton posted his fifth Sport 4 main event victory of the season, while Walker Bergene of Whitelaw was again the Thunder Truck victor.

After a false start for a spin involving Derek Siegel of Milwaukee on the initial green flag, Lance Fassbender charged into the lead from his inside second row starting spot with a bold move in the first turn on the opening lap of the 20-lap Sprint Car main event.

The former Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) champion wasted no time building up a huge half lap lead over fifth starter Justin Miller of Plymouth. Fassbender caught lapped traffic on lap 10, but even that didn’t slow him down as he skillfully negotiated the cars at the back of the pack on the tricky dry, slick racing surface.

On lap 14, Anthony Knierim of Franksville worked up from his seventh starting spot to pass second starter Danny Schlafer of Sussex for second place. However, Schlafer regained the third position on the next lap as the two drivers dueled for the spot for several laps.

As the laps wound down, Fassbender retained a sizable advantage, while Paul Pokorski of West Bend made a late charge to the front passing Knierim for fourth on lap 16 and then Schlafer for third with a low move in turn four on lap 18.

Fassbender cruised to his 18^th career MSA A main victory in the non-stop race, followed by Miller in second and Pokorski in third. Knierim posted a career-best fourth-place finish and Schlafer rounded out the top five.

Polesttier Derek Janke of New London gained the initial lead in the 20-lap Late Model A main as sixth starter Tim Buhler worked his way into second place on lap three, followed closely by the fifth starting machine of Cleveland’s Justin Schmidt.

On lap 4, Buhler overtook Janke along the high groove in turn two to gain the top spot for good. After the lone caution flag flew on lap six for the spinning car of Cleveland’s Eric Michaels, Buhler again showed his strength pulling out to a big lead.

Three laps later, seventh starter Jim Schmidt of Cleveland cleared his son Justin for second place and began to run down Buhler. Jim Schmidt, who pulled off a last lap pass to score the A main victory last week, charged to within striking distance in the closing laps. However, it was not quite enough as Buhler claimed his second Late Model A main victory of the season.

Jim Schmidt had to settle for second, Justin Schmidt wound up third, Kyle Odekirk of Plymouth came up from his 10^th starting spot to finish fourth in his 2016 racing debut and Janke rounded out the top five.

Outside front row starter Eric Scribner grabbed the lead on the drop of the green flag in the 20-lap Modified main event. Two laps later, Scribner had built up a half lap cushion over the second place car of third starter Matt Jackson of Sheboygan.

While Scribner raced all by himself at the front of the field, Jackson, Randy Markwardt Jr. of Sheboygan Falls, Kyle Kudick of Two Rivers and Mark Joski of Denmark waged an epic battle for the runner-up spot starting on lap 8.

After a restart following a caution involving Scott Mommaerts of Eagle, Markwardt Jr. bolted around Jackson for second before another caution slowed the pace for the stalled car of Jamie Schmidt of Seymour on the backstretch on lap 13.

In the closing laps it was Mukwanago’s Mark Knurr who put on a show using the high line to move from his ninth starting into four place on lap 19.

Scribner went on to claim his first Modified A main victory of the season at Manitowoc, followed by Markwardt Jr. in second, eighth starter Kyle Kudick in third, Knurr in fourth and Schmidt, who came from the rear of the field to finish fifth.

An eventful 20-lap Sport Mod A main got off to a rough start when polesitter Justin Bauer of Sheboygan Falls spun in turn four while leading. Bauer’s car collected third starter Andrew Meyerhofer of Menasha, who flipped hard. With no place to go, Hunter Parsons of Green Bay and Cody Schroeder of Manitowoc also made violent contact with Meyerhofer’s car forcing a red flag.

All four drivers emerged from the scene with no major injuries. Meyerhofer, Parsons and Schroeder retired from the race, while Bauer was able to return to competition.

When the race returned to green flag action, 12^th starter Jeff Steenbergen, who restarted in the third position, powered into the lead in turn four. After another caution for a two-car spin on lap 4, Steenbergen pulled away from the field.

On lap 5, 18^th starter Travis Arenz assumed second place and set his sights on Steenbergen. Arenz caught Steenbergen on lap 10 while Brian Bruechert, who restarted the race at the tail of the field following the lap 3 red flag, charged into fifth place.

With Arenz working the low groove and Steenbergen racing up high, the two dueled side by side for several laps before another caution flew on lap 12 for a stalled car.

On the restart, Steenbergen moved down to the low groove to block Arenz’ challenge. Meanwhile Bruechert moved in to challenge the lead duo on lap 15. The fourth and final caution came out on lap 16 for a stalled car.

In the final four laps, Bruechert used the high groove to gain second place briefly, but Arenz quickly regained the spot using the low line.

Steenbergen survived the three-way battle to gain his first Sport Mod A main victory of the 2016 campaign in his first Manitowoc Speedway appearance of the season. Arenz placed second, Bruechert was third, fifth starter John Rothmund of Manitowoc placed fourth and Wyatt Block of Tigertown came from the eighth starting spot to finish fifth.

Polesitter Steven Wirtz led the first three laps of the 20-lap Grand National A main before outside front row starter Kevin Naidl, who was making a rare Manitowoc Speedway appearance, used a low move in turn four to wrestle the lead away from Wirtz on lap 4.

After a pair of caution flags on lap 7, Wirtz dueled with ninth starter Brad Lubach for second place on the restart. Lubach gained the spot one lap later while Wirtz retired to the pit area with apparent mechanical issues.

By lap 11, Lubach closed in to Naidl’s rear bumper. Over the final nine laps. Lubach applied relentless pressure Naidl ducking under the leader on several occasions entering turn three.

However, Naidl refused to back down even as some slight contact was made in the closing laps. Naidl fended off one last challenge from Lubach on the final lap to score his first Manitowoc Speedway Grand National victory of the 2016 season.

Lubach had to settle for second, Ryan Minster of Sheboygan charged from his 14^th starting spot to take third, Kodiak Wirtz of Menomonee Falls took fourth after starting 11^th and Nick Schumacher of Eagle placed fifth after starting eighth.

In the Sport 4 main event, it was all Shaun Bangart, who moved up from the fifth starting spot to pass third starter Brian Watzka Jr. of Denmark for the lead on lap 2.

Once out front, Bangart pulled away en route to his fifth Sport 4 A main victory of the season at Manitowoc. Eighth starter Mitch Meier of Chilton was second, Watzka Jr. finished third, Neil Watzka of Denmark started and finished fourth and seventh starter Matt DeWilde of Kaukauna placed fifth.

Walker Bergene of Whitelaw was the Thunder Truck winner.

The evening was EWSC Sponsor Appreciation Night at the speedway.

The EWSC races next Friday, Aug. 5 will include racing in the Grand National, Modified, Sport Mod, Street Stock, Sport Four and Thunder Truck divisions. Pink Heals Racing Away Cancer/Badger Brew and Que Night at the races will showcase the Grand National division with driver introductions and a 30-lap Grand National Nationals main event featuring extra pay. The Street Stocks will also be making their second and final appearance at Manitowoc this season. Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing to begin at 7 p.m.

Fit For You – The Meaning of Blood Pressure

Fit For You No. 8 – The meaning of blood pressure

by Scott Rejholec

Most people know that a normal blood pressure is 120/80, but most don’t know what the numbers actually mean, and what can affect those numbers.

Today’s article will be going over what those numbers are, risk factors that can lead to high blood pressure and how you can help control blood pressure.

First and foremost, what do the numbers mean?

Blood pressure is the pressure inside the arteries. It is measured in two numbers.

The first or top number is the systolic pressure. It is the highest pressure in the arteries when the heart pumps blood into them.

The second or bottom number is diastolic pressure. This is the lowest pressure when the heart rests to refill between beats.

When is blood pressure too high?

If you are at rest and your blood pressure is consistently over 140/90, this would be considered high.

Blood pressure fluctuates constantly throughout the day, so it’s important to note that it needs to be consistently over 140/90 to be considered high. To be consistent, don’t smoke, exercise, or consume caffeine for 30 minutes prior to having it tested.

Knowing your risk factors is definitely the first step in preventing, and/or controlling high blood pressure. Keep in mind that there are certain risk factors that you can’t control such as age, heredity and race.

The risk factors that we want to focus on are the controllable ones. Excessive salt intake, stress, weight, tobacco use and lack of exercise are the main causes.

If high blood pressure is not treated, it can lead to heart disease, a stroke and many other health problems.

The last resort to treating high blood pressure is to take medications. However, if you are already taking them, don’t stop taking them on your own. Have a conversation with your health care provider first.

If you have high blood pressure or not, challenge yourself to monitor your sodium intake, take a deep breathe when your stressed, get outside to take a walk and enjoy the beautiful summer weather and try to limit, or quit your tobacco use.

Your blood pressure is much more important to your body than you may think. If you haven’t had it checked in a while, do it!

If you have any questions, comments, or want to see a specific topic be presented in these articles please feel free to follow “Fit For You Sheboygan Falls” on Facebook as I will be posting my articles, videos and other health related topics on there.

As always, make it a great day!

Pokorski Motorsports rock solid in double dip weekend

Pokorski Motorsports rock solid in double dip weekend

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 20, 2016 – Coming off of a season-best runner-up showing at the Dodge County Fairgrounds in Beaver Dam on Friday, July 8, the Paul Pokorski Motorsports team entered last weekend’s Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader at Manitowoc Speedway and the Plymouth Dirt Track with some all-important momentum on its side.

While the team’s A-main results may not have been overly flashy, (6^th at Manitowoc, 11^th at Plymouth) it was a solid weekend all around for the 24-year veteran West Bend driver and his dedicated crew.

On Friday, July 15, a total of 21 MSA Sprint Cars checked into the pit area at the Manitowoc Speedway for the third of six scheduled appearances at the track, which will be demolished a season’s end to make way for a Meijer store.

Pokorski started sixth in the second Sprint Car heat race and a fast start vaulted him to fourth, after passing Josh Teunissen in turn two. He then bolted by Doug Wondra to grab third place coming out of turn four on the opening lap.

Pokorski then held the third position the rest of the way, finishing behind second place Kurt Davis and heat winner Brandon McMullen.

The 2014 Midwest Sprint Car Association Masters Series champion drew the sixth starting position in the 25-lap main event.

Pokorski passed Al Schlafer to move into fifth and then maneuvered around Brandon McMullen along the high groove to seize fourth place on lap 4. As the leaders encountered slower traffic on lap 4, McMullen snuck past Pokorski, relegating the 2008 MSA Rookie of the Year to fifth place.

Pokorski maintained fifth place, until the final restart of the race following a caution on lap 23. On the restart, he fell back to seventh, as Wayne Modjeski and Lance Fassbender slipped past. However, he battled back to pass Fassbender at the line to place sixth in the final running order.

“Friday night at Manitowoc was a good night for us,” Pokorski said. “I made a poor choice on the final restart in the A man and that cost us a spot in the end. The car was not as good as the previous visit to Manitowoc with the IRA. I have a couple of theories why and we’ll keep working on it.”

The team then traveled to the Plymouth Dirt Track for PDTR Sprint Car action, which drew a stout field of 30 Sprint Cars.

Pokorski started sixth in the fourth Sprint Car heat race before passing Dick Kaiser on the opening laps to move into fifth place. Pokorski maintained the fifth position on the dry, slick track surface over the final nine laps to finish fifth in the final rundown.

As the final car to qualify for the A main based on passing points during the heat races, Pokorski started 16^th in the A main. A good start propelled Pokorski to 12^th place on lap 2. After racing closely with Spyder Akright and Ben Schmidt for a few laps, Pokorski passed Spyder Akright to claim the 11^th position.

However, Pokorski dropped back to 13^th, after a nifty move by Ben Schmidt on lap 13. Moments later Schmidt dropped out after stalling in turn four.

After restarting 13^th, Doug Wondra slipped past Pokorski to move the West Bend racer to 14^th. However, eight laps later, Pokorski battled back to pass Wondra for 13^th.

After a lap 22 caution for a spin involving Brandon McMullen, who had led the race throughout, Pokorski executed a few more passes, advancing to 12^th on lap 22 and slipping past Spyder Akright again to finish 11^th in the final rundown.

Tim Haddy captured his second EWSC main event triumph, after inheriting the lead following McMullen’s spin in turn four on lap 22. Chris Clayton was second, Donny Goeden claimed third place, followed by Jim Melis and Andrew Westphal placed fifth.

Pokorski indicated that track conditions did not yield much passing in the A main.

“On Saturday night, the track was smooth, but it rubbered up in the A main,” Pokorski said. “That’s never good, especially considering how far back in the pack we started.”

This coming weekend will feature one race at the Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 23, which will include bonus money up for grabs in the Sprint Car division with the A main paying a cool $1,300 to win.

“I generally don’t get too excited about the money,” Pokorski said. “I’ll only think about it if I’m leading and we get a yellow with two to go. Then I would have time to think about losing it!”

This Saturday also autograph night, which is a favorite event each year for the fan-friendly Pokorski Motorsport team.

“I think every night is for the fans,” Pokorski said. “That is something our team has always believed in and will continue to. We always look forward to seeing all the fans who come to our pit area after the races.”

The Plymouth Dirt Track Racing program is scheduled to being at 6 p.m. Sheboygan County Fair Park is location at 229 Fairview Drive in Plymouth. For more information, visit www.plymouthdtr.com or check out Plymouth Dirt Track Racing on Facebook.

Davis claims Sprint Car A main triumph at Manitowoc Speedway

Davis claims second Sprint Car A main at Manitowoc Speedway

Reinwald, Rothmund, Cullen, Fletcher, Klumb earn main event wins

By Jeff Pederson of Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 15, 2016 – It probably felt a little like déjà vu for Kurt Davis’ fellow competitors in the Midwest Sprint Car Association ranks Friday, July 15, as the veteran West Allis driver started on the pole and raced to his second consecutive 25-lap A main victory in Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car competition at the Manitowoc Speedway.

During the last MSA appearance at Manitowoc on June 24, Davis started on the pole and led every lap en route to a commanding victory. This time it wasn’t quite as by the book for Davis, as he dropped back to third place at the start, before rallying to post his third MSA A main victory of the season and MSA record 51st main event victory of his career.

In the Modified division, Russ Reinwald of Iron Ridge pulled off a late pass to post the victory in the 20-lap A main. Sport Mod rookie John Rothmund of Manitowoc fended off several challengers to record his second A main victory of the season. Jesse James Cullen of Chilton used a late-race charge to earn his initial victory of the 2016 campaign in the Grand National division. Tony Fletcher of Greenleaf notched an impressive flag-to-flag victory in the Sport Four division and Dennis Klumb of Adell notched the victory in the Winged Super Modified A main.

Davis started on the pole with fellow veteran open wheel racer Al Schlafer of Sussex to his outside at the start of the 25-lap Sprint Car A main.

Outside second row starter Tim Haddy of Waupun was the story in the early going as he bolted around both Davis and Schlafer on the opening lap to take the lead on the opening lap. While Davis found himself back in third place, Haddy began to pull away from field.

On lap 4, Derek Siegel spun in turn four to bring out the first caution of the race. Following the restart, Davis began to make his move back to the front. After seizing second place, Davis set his sights on Haddy, who was beginning to work through lapped traffic on lap 9.

On lap 12, Davis pulled off a slide job in heavy lapped traffic to take the lead from Haddy. Meanwhile, fifth starter Brandon McMullen of Plymouth slid past third starter Danny Schlafer of Sussex to take over the third position.

Two laps later, Haddy had reeled Davis back in and appeared to have a shot at regaining the lead entering turn one on lap 21. However, Haddy got caught behind the lapped car of Emily Portschy of Plymouth, which cut off all the momentum he had built up.

On lap 23, Josh Teunissen of Waldo brought out the caution flag, following a spin in turn two to set up a green-white-checked flag finish.

On the single-file restart, Haddy attempted to dive under Davis in turn one. However, Davis powered around Haddy using the preferred high groove on the smooth and racy track surface.

Davis went on to post the victory, followed by Haddy in second, Danny Schlafer in third, McMullen in fourth and 11^th starter Wayne Modjeski of Oak Creek rounding out the top five.

The 20-lap Modified A main was hotly contested, as positions were swapped throughout field for the duration of the event with three and four-wide racing for position an oft-viewed sight.

Third starter Troy Jerovetz of Green Bay outdueled front row starters Rob Charapata of Oconto and Josh Lambert of Casco to take the lead on the opening lap. Charapata settled into second place for the time being before Lambert seized the position on lap 3.

Jerovetz continued to set a blistering pace out front in the early going, as Kyle Kudick of Two Rivers, who started sixth, raced himself into the top five on lap 8. Kudick was applying heavy pressure to Lambert when the lone caution flag of the race appeared for the stalled car of Randy Markwardt Jr. of Sheboygan Falls on lap 12.

Kudick worked the bottom of the track to nearly seize the lead from Jerovetz on lap 14. However, a slight bobble allowed Russ Reinwald, who started eighth, to slip past Kudick later before setting his sights on the top spot.

On lap 15, Jerovetz jumped the cushion in turn one on lap 15, which dropped him back to fifth and allowed Reinwald to assume command of the race. Once out front, Reinwald was never headed on the way to the impressive victory.

Kudick finished second, Lambert wound up third, Jerovetz hung on to place fourth and R.M. Van Pay of Denmark finished fifth, after starting seventh.

In the Sport Mod division, rookie John Rothmund of Manitowoc continued to impress as he led all 20 laps from his outside front row starting spot to post his second A main victory of the 2016 season.

As Rothmund held the point, an epic battle was being waged for positions inside the top five among fifth starter Hunter Parsons of Green Bay, Sheboygan’s Travis Arenz, who started eighth, and 10^th starter Jason Jach of Shawano, who nearly rode the high groove to the victory.

Jach worked his way into third on lap 8 and seized second from Parsons, after a long side-by-side battle, on lap 12. Jach kept digging along the high line in the closing laps to put himself into position to mount a challenge on the final lap.

However, as Jach tried to sweep past on the outside, his car spun in turn four on the last lap, allowing Rothmund to post the victory in the caution-free race. Brian Bruechert of Kewaunee mounted a huge charge in the final five laps to post a runner-up showing after starting seventh. Parsons was third, Cody Schroeder of Manitowoc came from ninth to finish fourth and Arenz placed fifth.

The 20-lap Grand National A main feature three different leaders and a first-time winner. Outside front row starter Jonathan Otte of Cedar Grove paced the first 10 laps of the race, despite enduring heavy pressure from Steven Wirtz and three caution flags during the first seven laps.

On lap 8, Brad Lubach of Kiel moved in from his seventh starting spot to assume the runner-up spot. Three laps later, Lubach used a high-low crossover move to work his way past Otte, with Cullen following in his tire tracks. Over the next seven laps, the low riding Cullen gradually reeled in the cushion-pounding Lubach before executing the winning pass in turn three on lap 18.

Lubach trailed Cullen to the finish line in second, 10^th starter Steven Weber of Plymouth finished third, Wirtz was fourth and Greg Haese of Manitowoc charged up from his 14^th starting spot to place fifth.

In the Sport Four main event, outside front row starter Tony Fletcher of Greenleaf held off fifth-starter Shaun Bangart of Chilton to post the A main victory in flag-to-flag fashion.

Bangart placed second, fourth starter Mitch Meier of Chilton was third, Mike Meier of Chilton, who starter third, wound up fourth and polesitter Alvin TeStroete of Hilbert ended up fifth.

Dennis Klumb of Adell won the A main event for the visiting Winged Super Modifieds. He was followed to the line by Bob Brion of Plymouth in second, Keith Anderson of Sheboygan in third and Roy Stern of Hustisford fourth.

Walker Bergene of Whitelaw, who competed in the Sport 4 race, had the only Thunder Truck on hand

The race program, which drew a total of 93 cars in six divisions, was presented by Lakeside Foods, with Coors Light presenting the hard charger awards in each division. Rick’s Auto Doctors also contributed to a coin and candy drop for kids 11 and under.

The EWSC races next Friday, July 22 will feature Back to School night with school supplies for kids with racing in the Late Model, Grand National, Street Stock, Sport Mod, Thunder Truck and Sport Four divisions. Pit gates open at 4:30 p.m. Spectator gates open at 5:30 p.m. with racing to begin at 7 p.m.

Pokorski Motorsports tallies runner-up showing at Dodge County

Pokorski Motorsports tallies runner-up showing at Dodge County

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 12, 2016 – Six days after his car went up in flames with a header gasket failure while leading the A main at Plymouth, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team tossed any lingering disappointment aside and broke through with a season-best second-place finish in Midwest Sprint Car Association A main competition at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam Friday, July 8.

A total of 17 MSA 360 Sprint Cars signed in to take part in the first of three 2016 appearances at the giant, high-speed Dodge County Fairgrounds “Horsepower Half Mile,” in a companion event with the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series.

Pokorski drew the fourth starting position in the first MSA heat race. On the drop of the green flag, the West Bend driver slipped into third place before hitting the cushion hard, which allowed Donny Goeden to seize third.

Pokorski held down the fourth place spot for the remainder of the 8-lap race, closing slightly on the third place car of Chris Clayton over the final two laps. Lance Fassbender took the checkered flag in the first MSA heat race followed by Goeden in second.

The fourth place run in the first heat race put Pokorski on the inside of the second row to start the 20-lap A main event. On the opening lap, Pokorski held the fourth spot before Kurt Davis slipped past to push the 2014 MSA Masters Series champion back to fifth in the running order.

On lap 3, Pokorski got caught in the treacherous cushion, which allowed Danny Schlafer, Donny Goeden and Tim Haddy to move past. The miscue relegated Pokorski to eighth for the time being.

Three laps later, the first caution of the race appeared for a spin involving Lance Fassbender and Tony Wondra in turn four. On the restart, Donny Goeden and Tim Haddy made contact along the frontstretch, sending Haddy into the wall and Goeden flipping.

With Goeden and Haddy out of the race, Pokorski restarted the race sixth. Following the restart, Pokorski found his groove as he shot past Andrew Westphal with a low move in turn two before bolting past Chris Clayton in turn three to grab the fourth position.

The fourth and final caution flag came out on lap 12 when Kurt Davis lost a tire in turn one. Pokorski lined up for the restart third on the outside of the second place car of Danny Schlafer. When the race went green, Pokorski powered past Schlafer along the high groove to secure the runner-up spot.

Pokorski pulled away from Schlafer over the final eight laps, but he was unable to make a much of a dent on the lead held by Brandon McMullen, who went on to win the race in flag to flag fashion from the pole.

Pokorski, who charged from 18^th to finish fourth in the team’s most recent appearance at Dodge County last September, was pleased with the second place effort.

“Things went very well for us throughout the night at Dodge County,” Pokorski said. “The car wasn’t quite as good as the last time we were there, but we were trying something different again, and it’s a different car.

“Dodge County is so different that anything else we run and because of the speed the car does goofy things,” he said. “Needless to say we were happy with the result.”

This Friday, July 15 will see the Pokorski Motorsports team return to the Manitowoc Speedway for the fifth of eight scheduled races at the team’s home track this season.

Pokorski is hoping to build on the speed combination the team found while competing in the Harbor Town Showdown with the IRA 410 series on July 1.

“We will definitely be running the same thing we had with the IRA on July 1^st,” Pokorski said. “We’re looking forward to it for sure.”

Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car racing action is set to get underway at 7 p.m. this Friday, July 15 at the Manitowoc Speedway, which is located at 4921 Expo Drive in Manitowoc. For more information, visit www.manitowocspeedway.com

After taking last Saturday off to attend a family wedding, the team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, July 16.

Promising night headed off for Pokorski Motorsports

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) July 5, 2016 – For the second weekend in a row, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team did the double by entering back-to-back events at Manitowoc Speedway and The Plymouth Dirt Track Friday, July1 and Saturday, July 2.

On Friday night, Pokorski Motorsports took part in the final ever 410 Sprint Car race Manitowoc Speedway, as the Interstate Racing Association (IRA) Sprint Car Series rolled into town for the second and final Harbor Town Showdown.

Pokorski, who is a Manitowoc native, was the lone 360 Sprint Car entered in the 27-car IRA field at the Manitowoc Speedway, which will be demolished at the end of the season to make way for a grocery store. However, Pokorski held his own against the high-horsepower competition throughout the night.

After qualifying 25th, Pokorski started ninth and finished ninth in the first IRA heat race of the evening. Due to attrition during hot laps, qualifying and heat race action, Pokorski took the green flag for the 30-lap IRA A main event from the 24th starting position.

Pokorski got off to a strong start in the opening laps as he used the high groove to pass Scott Uttech on lap 1 and pressured Russel Borland for position on lap 2. The West Bend racer nearly got past Johnny Fahl along the low line on lap 5 before race leader Brandon Wimmer swept past to put the familiar blue No. 4 Maxim one lap down.

On lap 9, the first yellow flag of the event appeared when Kris Spitz stopped on the track. On the restart, Pokorski started directly behind the leaders in the running order with Uttech one spot back.

After another caution for Mike Reinke’s spin on lap 13, Uttech snuck past Pokorski on lap 19. Pokorski held solid over the final 11 laps to post a respectable 19th place finish.

“Friday night was great,” Pokorski said. “We tried some different set-up ideas that really seemed to work well. We were as competitive as we could expect to be against the IRA cars.”

On Saturday night, the team returned to The Plymouth Dirt Track for PDTR Sprint Car action, which drew a stout field of 32 Sprint Cars.

Pokorski started third and placed second behind Spyder Akright in the fourth Sprint Car heat race to earn a spot in the 22-car A main field.

What looked to be a banner night, turned quickly into disappointment for team in the A main.

Pokorski rolled off third in the scheduled 25-lap Sprint Car A main and quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in the early going. After working past polesitter Anthony Knierum on lap 3, Pokorski set sail for leader Al Schlafer, who had separated himself from the rest of the field from his outside front row starting spot.

Pokorski closed the gap quickly before diving low on lap 9 to slip underneath Schlafer along the frontstretch. However, seconds later Schlafer made contact with the lapped car of Nich Melis in turn one, which sent Schlafer flipping to bring out a red flag.

Set to restart in the lead, disaster struck for Pokorski when the cars were pushed off under caution. A header gasket failure caused a fire to erupt on the right side of the engine of Pokorski’s machine. He pulled the car into the infield and was able to exit the car unscathed. However, his bid for victory had vanished in the flames.

Left to watch the remainder of the race from the infield, Pokorski was credited with a 21st place finish in the shortened 17-lap race, which ended early due to the 25-minute time limit with Tim Haddy notching the victory.

“Saturday night was going well right up until the restart of the A main,” Pokorski said. “I could hear the exhaust leak as soon as we pushed off for the feature, but obviously had no idea how bad it was. The fire damaged the hood, some plug wires, gauges and the air cleaner.”

While the fire looked scary to spectators, Pokorski downplayed the severity of the incident.

“I’ve had a few flash fires before, and this one really wasn’t too bad either,” Pokorski said. “Luckily, I was out of the car in plenty of time.”

This Friday night July 8, the Pokorski Motorsports team will compete in a Midwest Sprint Car Association Sprint Car event at the Dodge County Fairgrounds Speedway in Beaver Dam. However, the team will not be in action on Saturday night at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

“We will be ready for Friday night and are looking forward to going to Dodge County,” Pokorski said. “Saturday my niece is getting married, so we will not be at Plymouth. I’ll be praying for rain!”

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 28, 2016 – Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team entered a pair of Midwest Sprint Car Association events last weekend and came away with a pair of top ten A main showings at Manitowoc Speedway and The Plymouth Dirt Track Friday, June 24 and Saturday, June 25.

On Friday, June 24 the team traveled to Manitowoc Speedway, which is a track close to Pokorski’s heart. The event drew 23 MSA Sprint Cars to the third-mile Manitowoc track, which is set to close at the end of the 2016 racing season in favor of new business development.

Pokorski, who grew up in Manitowoc, got the evening off to a rousing start with a victory in the first Sprint Car heat race. The familiar blue Pokorski Motorsports 2016 Maxim started on the pole and paced every lap of the heat race to lead runner-up Tony Wondra to the finish line by a half straightaway margin.

The heat race victory gave Pokorski the eighth starting spot in the 25-lap Sprint Car A main. After the drop of the green flag, Pokorski found himself locked in a battle for seventh place with Tony Wondra, as Pokorski worked the high groove, while Wondra stayed glued to the bottom of the perfectly manicured track surface.

On lap 10, Justin Miller moved up to challenge Pokorski for the seventh spot. As Miller worked the low groove, Pokorski continued to pound the cushion on the outside of the track. Pokorski eventually cleared Miller and set his sights on Kenjay Fiedler, who was running sixth.

On lap 20, Pokorski used a strong outside move in turn four to take over sixth in the running order. As action heated up over the final five laps, Pokorski dueled with Brandon McMullen for the sixth spot. Eventually, McMullen used the inside lane to pull ahead of the high riding Pokorski, who crossed the finish line in seventh place. Kurt Davis of West Allis went on to post the A main victory from his outside front row starting spot in flag-to-flag fashion.

On Saturday night at The Plymouth Dirt Track, a total of 24 MSA checked into the pit area to do battle. Pokorski started the evening with a solid third place finish after starting fifth in the third Sprint Car heat race. Pokorski followed runner-up Scott Conger and race winner Jim Melis to the finish line in the heat race.

Things got quite wild in the 25-lap Sprint Car main event. After starting eighth, Pokorski was involved in a multi-car pileup on the opening lap of the event when front row starters Kurt Davis and Dannon Tessmer got together in turn two.

During the melee, Pokorski was hit from behind by Jim Melis and the contact resulted in a flat left rear tire and bent shock pin. After retreating to the pit area for repairs during the caution period, Pokorski returned to the track to restart the race in the 16^th position.

“Apparently Dannon Tessmer’s throttle stuck and he and Kurt Davis got together,” Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz said. “Paul slowed to avoid, but Jim Melis had nowhere to go and got into us. It was a racing deal and totally not intentional, unlike the incident we had last week.”

Pokorski moved of steadily through the field throughout the race to find himself firmly in the top 10 and battling for a top 5 finish as the laps wound down.

Pokorski dueled with Scott Conger and Chris Clayton in the closing laps to eventually salvage a solid sixth place showing. Meanwhile, at the front of the pack Donny Goeden posted his third Plymouth Dirt Track Racing Sprint Car A main victory of the season.

“The car was very good and Paul drove his heart out as he always does to finish sixth,” Schultz said. “It was disappointing that we didn’t get the finish that Paul and car deserved, but we had to play the cards that were dealt to us.”

Pokorski was fairly happy with the performance of the car on both nights.

“Both nights were pretty good,” Pokorski said. “The end result in the features was a seventh and sixth-place finish, which isn’t quite what we wanted. However, the car felt good and we were competitive.”

This weekend the Pokorski Motorsports team will again pull a doubleheader at Manitowoc Speedway on Friday night and The Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday night.

On Friday night, Pokorski will join the field for the second and final Harbor Town Showdown featuring the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at Manitowoc Speedway. The race will mark the final 410 Sprint Car race ever at the Manitowoc track. Qualifying is scheduled to start at 6:30 p.m. with racing to follow at 7 p.m. Manitowoc Speedway is located at 4921 Expo Drive in Manitowoc. For more information, visit www.manitowocspeedway.com

“This upcoming week, we are looking forward to another opportunity to run at Manitowoc,” Pokorski said. “My most memorable race night at Manitowoc was actually in Randy Sippel’s Rent-A-Ride car the first time I drove an MSA car. There was a huge field of cars and we were running fourth in the A man before an engine gremlin knocked us out with about two to go.

“I have a lot of other smaller good memories and some bad memories of racing in Manitowoc,” he said. “We look forward to taking this opportunity to make a few more laps and create a few more memories before the track goes away.”

Then on Saturday night, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to The Plymouth Dirt Track for another Plymouth Dirt Track Racing weekly event. Racing is scheduled to being at 6 p.m. Sheboygan County Fair Park is location at 229 Fairview Drive in Plymouth.

Collision course slows Pokorski Motorsports

Collision course slows Pokorski Motorsports

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 22, 2016 – After encountering several challenges in adjusting to the nuances of a brand new car through the first seven races of the 2016 season, the Paul Pokorski Motorsports team came into Plymouth Dirt Track Racing action last Saturday at Sheboygan County Fair Park with high hopes for a strong performance.

The evening featured a pit area packed with a total of 64 Sprint Cars, as the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series made its first of three scheduled appearances at The Plymouth Dirt Track this season.

With 29 PDTR Sprint Cars on hand, Pokorski started third in the third PDTR Sprint Car heat race. On the opening lap of the race, Pokorski slipped underneath front row starter Doug Wondra with a low move in turn two.

Pokorski then settled into the runner-up spot behind race leader Chris Clayton. The 24-year veteran West Bend racer held strong in the second position, while Clayton maintained a comfortable lead throughout the 10-lap heat race. Pokorski went on to cross the finish line in second place, a half straightaway behind race winner Clayton to lock himself into the 25-lap A main event.

After starting ninth in the 22-car A main event, Pokorski found himself battling with Robbie Pribnow for ninth place in the opening laps of the race. As Pokorski worked the low groove, Pribnow followed closely behind.

The spirited duel between Pokorski and Pribnow continued in very close quarters for several laps with contact made on a couple of occasions. On lap 10, the battle came to a head when Pribnow collided with Pokorski in turn three, causing Pokorski to spin to a stop to bring out a caution flag.

Due to the nature of the contact, officials elected to send both Pokorski and Pribnow to the rear of the field on the restart.

When the race resumed, Pokorski moved up to the outside groove in an attempt to work his way up from 19^th place. Pokorski managed to move past three cars in the closing laps to bring his 2016 Maxim home in the 16^th position.

“I thought the car was really good in hot laps and pretty good in the heat race,” Pokorski said. “I thought the car was alright in the feature and we were holding our own until we got spun out. That’s about all I have to say on that.”

After encountering challenging track conditions on several occasions at Plymouth this season, Pokorski was pleased with the evening’s multi-groove racing surface.

“I thought the track on Saturday night was the best it’s been in a very long time,” Pokorski said. “I hope they can replicate it in the nights to come.”

Looking ahead to the upcoming weekend Midwest Sprint Car Association doubleheader at Manitowoc Speedway and The Plymouth Dirt Track, Pokorski is eager to get back to Manitowoc. During the last MSA main event at Manitowoc on June 3, Pokorski was in the mix for the A main victory, before eventually posting a season-best fourth place finish.

“I can’t wait to go to Manitowoc,” Pokorski said. “The last time we were there the racing was incredible and the track prep was perfect.”

Pokorski Motorsports endures strange night at Plymouth

Pokorski Motorsports endures strange night at Plymouth

By Jeff Pederson

Pedal Down Promotions

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 15, 2016 – On a night filled with a number of unusual occurrences, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports experienced a roller coaster ride of ups and downs in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing action at Sheboygan County Fair Park on Saturday, June 11.

A total of 29 PDTR Sprint Cars checked into the pit area to do battle for the fourth time this year at The Plymouth Dirt Track. After the evening’s race program was delayed 1 hour and 45 minutes to accommodate extended track maintenance work, Pokorski found himself on the pole of the first Sprint Car heat race.

Pokorski out powered outside front row starter Danny Schlafer to take the lead at the drop of the green flag. With track conditions very much on the wet, narrow and choppy side, Pokorski stuck to the inside lane while Schlafer followed closely in his tire tracks.

By lap 8, Pokorski had built up a solid half straightaway cushion over Schlafer. However, on the white flag lap Pokorski bobbled slightly in turn two, which allowed Schlafer to close dramatically. Coming to the checkered flag, Schlafer pulled underneath Pokorski in turn four. The two former Midwest Sprint Car Association series champions dueled side by side to the flag stand with Pokorski holding on to post his second heat race victory of the season by mere inches.

“We tried some new things for Saturday night, and the car seemed to work pretty well in the heat, but the track was so abnormal it was hard to tell if we made any real gains,” Pokorski said. “Nonetheless, I’m happy we won.

After several major incidents and accident cleanup delays pushed the program near the 11 p.m. citywide curfew, the scheduled 20-lap Sprint Car A main rolled onto track as the final event of the evening with Pokorski starting in the 10^th position.

During the opening laps on the lightning fast, narrow and uneven track surface, Pokorski battled with Donny Goeden and Kurt Davis for the 10^th position. After a restart following a caution on lap 5, Pokorski made contact with the cars of Kevin Karnitz and Justin Miller as several cars got bunched up in turn one, which resulted in front axle damage. Pokorski fell back to the rear of the field before pitting when the next caution came out on lap 8.

One lap later, the race was halted for good when Shane Wenninger flipped hard in turn 4 as the 11 p.m. curfew expired. It took a considerable amount of time to extricate Wenninger from the car. He was transported to a local hospital and found to have suffered two fracture vertebrae in the accident. Because the race did not go past the half way mark, points and pay were distributed evenly through the field.

“In the feature it again was hard to tell if the car was really working well,” Pokorski said. “It seemed like we were all just trying to stay off each other on the narrow track. We had some minor damage that will take a few hours to fix, but nothing we haven’t dealt with before and certainly part of the racing deal.”

Despite the challenging track conditions encountered by PDTR competitors in recent weeks at Plymouth, Pokorski has high hopes for this Saturday’s Interstate Racing Association/Midwest Sprint Car Association Sprint Car doubleheader at The Plymouth Dirt Track.

“I’m confident the track crew will get things worked out,” Pokorski said. “I’m really looking forward to the MSA/IRA doubleheader this Saturday night.”

Fit For You No. 7

Significance of METs and Watts

by Scott Rejholec

Have you ever been on a piece of exercise equipment, and the screen is showing your METS and Watts, but you have no idea what they are?

Well, this article will cover the significance of both of these measurements.

METs stand for metabolic equivalence. A MET is used to determine the rate at which the body consumes oxygen and produces energy relative to your body weight.

1 MET=rest. For example, if you are doing an activity at 3 METs your body is working three times harder than at rest, because it is requiring more oxygen.

Why are METS important? METs measure the energy cost of physical activity.

For instance, something that requires 1-3 METs is considered light activity, 3-7 is moderate, and 7 and above is vigorous. They provide a method of describing exercise tolerance of an individual.

The next time you are on the treadmill or bike, take a note of what your METs are and compare them to the list of activities below that correlate to the energy expenditure.

1-3 METs: Card playing, darts, dusting, shopping, walking 2 mph, and washing dishes.

3-5 METs: Raking leaves, square dancing, walking 3-4 mph, and weeding.

5-7 METs: Pushing a lawn mower, sexual intercourse, shoveling dirt, tennis and walking 4-5 mph.

7-9 METs: Carrying 20 pounds upstairs, jogging 5 mph, kayaking, snowshoeing and swimming.

More than 9 METs: Cross-country skiing, running faster than 6 mph and shoveling heavy snow.

So what is Watts? I’m sure if you’ve ever had to change a light bulb you have had to look at how many Watts the bulb uses. Watts are a measure of power.

On that piece of equipment, Watts measure the power that you are producing while exercising. The higher your output, the higher your MET level.

For example, an average light bulb requires 60 Watts of energy. If you can maintain 60 Watts on a piece of equipment, you would be able to power a light bulb.

Here is an interesting fact, there are 746 Watts in one horsepower.

What are some ways to increase Watts? Watts are measured from the level of resistance and RPMs (Revolutions per Minute). Increasing one of the two, or both, will increase your Watts.

I hope this could bring some light into the numbers on the screen, and that you can apply those numbers now.

If you’ve hit a plateau, or your workouts are becoming stale, try focusing on those numbers to challenge yourself!

If you have any questions, comments or want to see a specific topic be presented in these articles, please feel free to follow “Fit For You Sheboygan Falls” on Facebook, as I will be posting my articles, videos and other health related topics on there.

As always, make it a great day!

Pokorski Motorsports Bounces Back at Manitowoc

Pokorski Motorsports bounces back at Manitowoc

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 7, 2016 – Following a disappointing showing over the Memorial Day weekend, Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports Sprint Car racing team were aiming to get back on the competitive track Friday, June 3, in the Eastern Wisconsin Stock Car season opener at the Manitowoc Speedway.

With 24 Sprint Cars on hand, Pokorski opened the evening by starting second in the first Sprint Car heat race next to polesitter Tony Wondra. On the drop of the green flag, inside second row starter Brandon McMullen bolted past Pokorski to take over second place.

As the field stretched out over the third-mile oval, Pokorski settled into third place, which is where he finished behind McMullen and Wondra, who posted the heat race victory.

Just as he did in the heat race, Pokorski lined up for the 25-lap Sprint Car A main on the outside of the front row next to polesitter Tim Haddy. After the initial start was waved off due to the spinning car of rookie Tyler Brabant in turn two, Haddy used the high groove to grab the lead on the drop of the green flag.

In the opening laps, Pokorski tucked in behind Haddy along the preferred high line. By lap 5 the leaders began to encounter lapped traffic. On lap 6, Pokorski moved up next to Haddy, who was attempting to pass a slower car on the low side of the track. Just as Pokorski looked poised to assume the top spot in the running order, Josh Teunissen spun his machine in turn four just in front of the leaders.

After a wild restart, Pokorski found himself shuffled back to fourth place, as outside second row starter Kenjay Fiedler and 13^th starter Kurt Davis slipped past to assume second and third place respectively on lap 7.

Pokorski battled back along the outside groove to pull even with Davis on several occasions over the next five laps. After Davis pulled away in lapped traffic to clear Fiedler for second place, Pokorski used a perfectly timed slide job to get by Fiedler for third place on lap 19.

As the laps wound down, 12^th starter Danny Schlafer pressured Pokorski for third place before seizing the position in turn four on lap 24.

With one lap to go, a yellow flag for Lance Fassbender’s spin in turn two, tightened the field for a mad one-lap dash to the finish. After a frenzied restart, Pokorski held on to take fourth place behind race winner Haddy, Davis and Schlafer.

After failing to qualify for the Sprint Car A main one week earlier at Plymouth, Pokorski and his crew made some adjustments to the team’s new 2016 Maxim, which paid significant dividends at Manitowoc.

“We did make some changes to the car from the week before,” Pokorski said. “We also made some changes during the night that seemed to be in the right direction. We seem to be making some gains on this new car and we have a few more things to try yet.”

While happy with his season-best fourth place finish, Pokorski felt he had a car capable of winning if the caution flags had worked in his favor.

“I thought we had a shot at winning, but we would have needed a little luck with the cautions falling different to make that happen,” Pokorski said.

A scheduled Midwest Sprint Car Association (MSA) doubleheader weekend was washed out the following night, Saturday, June 4, when heavy rain forced the cancellation of the Plymouth Dirt Track program for the third time this season.

The team will return to action this Saturday, June 11 at the Plymouth Dirt Track.

Fit For You – A quick way to lose five pounds No. 6

Fit For You – A quick way to love five pounds No. 6

by Scott Rejholec

With summer right around the corner, many people are scrambling to lose that extra 5 pounds.

If you exercise or not, there’s an easy way to do it, but are you mentally there?

So what’s the easy way to lose that five pounds? Well, it’s cutting out the added sugars. Ah yes, the sugars. I’m sure you’ve heard it before, but heck, its true!

What are examples of the sugars to cut out, and why? The obvious is soda, energy drinks, candy, cookies and ice cream.

But the not so obvious is fruit juice.

Let’s get into the why you should cut out the sugars. Sugar is a form of carbohydrate, and is quickly available for energy.

When consumed, blood sugar (glucose) levels spike, which in turn causes insulin levels to rise.

Insulin is a hormone released by your body that moves glucose from the bloodstream into the cells for use as fuel. If sugar is not quickly utilized for energy it gets stored into body fat through a process known as lipogenesis.

What’s the reason behind juice? Fruit is good for you, yes. However, 90 percent of the juices sold in stores are not real juice.

Without the whole fruit, juice doesn’t have the same amount of fiber, even if it is “made with real fruit.”

Without the fiber, juice has the same effect of a soda in regards to spiking your blood sugar. If you really want juice, buy fruit and take the time to juice it.

Lastly, let’s talk about diet sodas. Plain and simple, they are not good for you. Actually they’re worse than regular soda. The reason they are “zero” calories is because they are made up of artificial sugars that your body does not know how to break down. At the same time, it has the same effect of spiking your blood sugar.

By cutting out added sugars, I guarantee you will see that five pounds gone within two weeks.

I know for some this is going to be really hard, but as mentioned in previous articles, write down your goal and put it somewhere you see it every day.

Let it be a reminder to you of why you want to achieve that goal. Whether you find motivation in looking or feeling better for yourself, living longer with your spouse, or seeing your kids and grandkids grow up, stop making excuses and do it.

If you have any questions, comments, or want to see a specific topic be presented in these articles, please feel free to follow “Fit For You Sheboygan Falls” on Facebook as I will be posting my articles, videos and other health related topics on there.

As always, make it a great day!

Pokorski Motorsports looks ahead to MSA doubleheader

Pokorski Motorsports endures forgettable weekend

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) June 1, 2016 – A holiday weekend Sprint Car racing doubleheader at the Plymouth Dirt Track and 141 Speedway turned out to be one that Paul Pokorski and his Pokorski Motorsports team would like to put in the rearview mirror as quickly as possible.

After recording a pair of top 10 finishes in the first two events of the 2016 season at The Plymouth Dirt Track, the blue Pokorski Motorsports No. 4 Sprint Car failed to qualify for the A main on Saturday, May 28.

Highly challenging track conditions proved to confound each of the 33 sprint car teams in the pit area, as a dry slick track for the heat races yielded to a very rough track surface for B and A main competition later in the evening.

Pokorski started fourth the third Sprint Car heat race in Plymouth Dirt Track Racing action on Saturday night. On lap 2, contact with Wayne Modjeski’s car, dropped Pokorski back to fifth place in the running order.

Two laps later, Pokorski attempted to move to the high groove in an effort to make up some ground and earn a spot in the A main. However, the extremely dry slick track conditions produced almost exclusively single-file racing along the low groove. Pokorski fell back to seventh on lap five and held on to that position at the finish line.

The seventh-place finish in the heat race put Pokorski in the first of two B main events, where he started seventh. Needing to finish third or better in order to transfer to the A main, Pokorski attempted to use the high groove to gain the positions he needed.

However, a spin in turn three halted Pokorski’s progress in the early going. After restarting seventh, Pokorski worked past Doug Pietz and Nich Melis in the closing laps to place fifth, two spots out of a transfer position.

“It was definitely one of the toughest nights we’ve had,” Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz said. “The track was very difficult, which kept us guessing. We were down on crew help too on Saturday night, which added to the challenges. The bottom line is, as the crew chief I just didn’t give Paul the car he needed to be successful.”

Things didn’t turn out any better for the team on Sunday, May 29, as it competed with the Interstate Racing Association 410 Sprint Car Series at the 141 Speedway in Francis Creek.

Pokorski qualified 27^th in the 28-car IRA field, before starting and finishing ninth in the third IRA heat race.

In the B main, Pokorski lined up in the ninth starting spot. Pokorski out dragged Chris Clayton to maintain the ninth-place position in the early going. On lap 3, Pokorski spun his machine in turn 4.

After restarting at the back of the field, Pokorski waged a spirited battle with Clayton for ninth place. On lap 9, Clayton surged ahead as Pokorski held on to place 10^th, four spots out of a transfer position to the A main.

“The weekend stunk,” Pokorski said. “Sometimes you’re the windshield, sometimes you’re the bug! But we won’t give up and we’re going to try some different things for this weekend at Manitowoc and probably at Plymouth also. We are hoping for much better results.”

A doubleheader weekend is on tap for Pokorski Motorsports team with the first of six scheduled MSA appearances at the Manitowoc Speedway on Friday, June 3. The following night, the Pokorski Motorsports team will return to the Plymouth Dirt Track on Saturday, June 4.

Late charge nets top-10 finish at Plymouth Dirt Track

Late charge nets top-10 finish for Pokorski Motorsports

(PEDAL DOWN PROMOTIONS) May 24, 2016 – Coming off a weekend in which uncooperative weather kept the Paul Pokorski Motorsports No. 4 sprint car sitting idle in shop, the team was anxious to get back to the track for the second night of Plymouth Dirt Track Racing action at Sheboygan County Fair Park in Plymouth Saturday, May 21.

Beautiful weather greeted drivers, crews, workers and fans, as a stout field of 32 PDTR sprint cars filled the pits to do battle on the venerable one-third mile clay oval track.

Pokorski started the second 10-lap sprint car heat race on the outside of the front row, next to polesitter Spyder Akright. On the drop of the green flag, Akright got the jump to take the lead into the first turn.

As Akright raced through the middle lane of the racing surface at the front of the field, Pokorski settled into second place and began to search for a line to get past the leader.

By lap 4, two-time defending PDTR sprint car champion Donny Goeden moved up to challenge Pokorski and Akright. On lap 5, Goeden moved underneath Pokorski and then slid past Akright to take the lead. Pokorski held on over the final five laps to finish third behind Akright and Goeden.

“We tried some things in the heat race and we learned a lot,” Pokorski Motorsports Crew Chief Dave Schultz said. “The finish wasn’t really what we were looking for, but we found out some things that seemed to help once we got going toward the end of the A-main.”

The Pokorski Motorsports machine started the 25-lap main event from the 14^th started spot. In the early going, Pokorski held his own inside the top 15 as drivers began to seek out the fastest lane to run.

On lap 8, Pokorski spun out in turn four while running in the 16^th spot. Anthony Knierim clipped the front end of Pokorski’s car during the incident, resulting in some front end damage to the nose wing.

“I just messed up,” Pokorski said. “I got on the gas too hard and too early and lost it. We had some damage to the brackets on the bumper and the nose wing, but it wasn’t too bad.”

With mainly cosmetic damage to the front end, Pokorski continued on, restarting the race in the 20^th position.

Following the restart, Pokorski started to find success running along the high groove. By lap 12, Pokorski had moved to 15^th and one lap later he cleared three more cars to take the 12^th spot.

With the majority of the field running low, Pokorski had basically a clear lane to run at the top of the speedway, which he utilized to his benefit.

On lap 16, Pokorski found himself dueling with Kenjay Fiedler and Chris Clayton for the ninth and 10^th positions.

After engaging in a spirited back-and-forth, side-by-side battle with Fiedler for seven laps, Pokorski surged ahead to claim ninth place for good on lap 23.

While Pokorski capped a strong rally to finish ninth place, Donny Goeden surged to his second A-main victory of the season and the 17^th of his career to vault to the top of the all-time PDTR sprint car A-main victory list.

“Our plan was to run the bottom in the A main because we thought everybody would be running the top,” Pokorski said. “The car felt pretty good on the bottom before the spin. Once we went to the back, I had to change the plan because everyone was running the bottom.

“I had to go where they weren’t, so I ran the top for the last 17 laps and it worked pretty well as we got some spots back,” he said. “We were a little too tight to run the top, but I can’t complain with how it turned out at the end. Coming from 20^th to ninth in the last part of the race isn’t too bad. If I wouldn’t have messed up and had that spin, I think we could’ve had a really nice finish.”

A doubleheader weekend is on tap for Pokorski Motorsports team with Plymouth Dirt Track Racing on the schedule for this Saturday, May 28. The Saturday night PDTR program will be presented by Pokorski Motorsports sponsor Pedal Down Promotions.
