CADY wins King of the Track title and first
Wally at PIR
The wet weather that shortened the 5-race King of the Track series to four races, abated long enough for Portland International Raceway to compete the finals of the KOT series on Saturday October 24, 2009 with Gordon Cady, Jr. and his ‘65 El Camino taking the top honors. The top four finishers in each of four classes competed for the Wally and the King of the Track title. The series winners in the four classes were: Super Pro – Gary Ericksen; Pro – Casey Allum; Sportsman – Gordon Cady, Jr.; Motorcycle – Anthony Steinmeyer.
Things are always exciting when you have the foot-brakers going against the computer racers and in this series we had it all. Round one Cady met Super Pro racer Nick Pruett. Cady with slight .002 lead at the start but ran .03 closer to the dial for the win. Round two, Cady took a .023 starting line advantage over Motorcycle racer Bob Osborne and carried it through for the win.
Round 3 Cady was on the mark with a .016 package including a perfect light but didn’t need it when Pro racer Paul Comeau went red -.021 in his beautiful wheel-standing ’39 Chevy. Final round, Cady faced off with multiple-time P.I.R. Pro champion Casey Allum driving his father’s stellar ’65 Plymouth. Cady cut a .018 light and ran 8.257 (8.25 dial) besting Allum who had a .042 light and 7.463 (7.46 dial) with both racers running through the lights. This is Cady’s first Wally win and a fine way to end a terrific Division 6 season.
