"Rain rain, go away.   Come again another day” should have been the song for the weekend at the Formula D event held at Wall Township Speedway.   Rain was present on Saturday, when it counted, but for Friday’s practice and qualifying, it was all clear and light rain.

Friday’s weather was ideal for practice and qualifying, as the early drivers made their way through the Wall NJ Formula D course.    Each driver had their turn to practice and when it came time for the big show, the top 5 were as follows

1. Ken Gushi 93 (46 Style)

2. Fredric Aasbo 93 (44 Style)

3. Justin Pawlak 92 (46 Style)

4. Pat Goodin 92 (45 Style)

5. Kenneth Moen 91 (43 Style)

6. Chris Forsberg 91 (43 Style)

7. Chelsea DeNofa 90

8. Robbie Nishida 89 (44 Style)

9. Ryan Tuerck 89 (44 Style)

10. Pat Mordaunt 89 (42 Style)

At the time of the big show, when all was said and done, the final matches were:

Tuerck vs Kearney and Asabo vs Yokoi.     After battling thru the rain and several stops of action to make sure the track was safe for drifting, it was 1) Frederic Asabo, 2) Dean Kearney and 3) Ryan Tuerck.
