Rain Pushes Back Dutch Classic Mopar® HEMI® Challenge

First Round Completed, Sunday Racing to Decide Winner

Daniels had a bye run of 8.508 seconds at 155.65 mph in the first round Saturday when Chuck Comella of Sanibel, Fla. could not answer the call.


Ray Barton’s son, David, of Robesonia , Pa. , also had an easy first round win of 8.56 seconds at 151.26 mph in his Plymouth Barracuda when Mark Howes of Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada red-lighted the start. Barton will face Delaware , Ohio driver Jim Pancake and his Dodge Dart in the quarterfinals.


The other quarterfinal match-ups include Bob Wolkwitz of Darien , CT in a Plymouth Barracuda vs. his brother Gary Wolkwitz of Annandale , NJ in a Dodge Dart; and an all-‘Cuda matchup of Wendell Howes vs. Stephen Herbert of Westlakes , La. HEMI Challenge quarterfinal eliminations are set to begin at 10:15 a.m. Sunday.

The Dutch Classic is the largest all-sportsman event on the east coast, with the Mopar HEMI Challenge taking Saturday’s center stage. Participants will vie for the $5,000 winner’s purse at the final Mopar HEMI Challenge event of the 2009 season.
