Niagara
Falls, ON - For immediate release - Niagara
Fall’s,
ON racer Joe Boniferro is already a repeat winner of Norwalk
Raceway Park’s Halloween Classic Frantic 4 event sponsored
by G-Force Racecars and Oddy’s Performance. This past weekend
he started another streak by again winning the Pro Mod event
that is part of Toronto Motorsports Park’s Jet Warz extravaganza.
Boniferro
had qualified number one with a 6.51-second pass on a tricky
TMP track that saw lots of tire shake from the
likes of Kasey Janzen and Mike Stawicki. The Koffel’s Place
supported team decided to sit out the delayed second round of
qualifying that was held on Sunday morning and were delighted
when nobody relieved them of their pole position. . Considering
Pro Mod stand out Al Billes was testing at the event and was
also having trouble getting down the track, the Boniferro team
were happy to be sitting at the top of the timesheets.
That set the
Smokin’ Joe’s Racing
team up for a rematch with Mike Stawicki. Stawicki won the encounter
earlier in 2004 and Boniferro was determined to reverse the result.
Both racers shook the tires heavily on the run with Boniferro
recovering the best with a 6.967 to a shutoff 12.757 from Stawicki
and the G-Force Racecars ’63 Vette.
With the Boniferro team struggling somewhat with
the lack of clutch data Boniferro was glad to see second round
opponent Larry Sinke not make the call. Boniferro punched out
an eighth-mile squirt to get enough data for the final round.
Facing off against Boniferro would be ex Canadian Pro Mod Champion
and many time IHRA Quick 8 winner Kasey Janzen. A Boniferro /
Janzen match up guaranteed having the fans on their feet as it
is a rivalry that goes back for years. On this day Boniferro
was not to be denied! He took a starting line advantage and powered
to a 6.66 pass for the win two years running.
