SOUTH PARK, Penn. (April 8) - Keith Barbara and Forbes Field Motorsports made it to two different race tracks this past weekend but unfortunately Mother Nature only let them race once as the rains fell on Lernerville Speedway about an hour before the show was set to begin. On Saturday Mom Nature gave the team the weather they needed to get some heat in the tires at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway.
The night started off shaky in practice for Keith as he had to pull off 'Dirt's Monster Superspeedway' with no fuel pressure in his Comcast / Triangle Benefit Services / Potoka Trucking / Forbes Field Garage / Ran Group Racing Tours sponsored #17 Rocket Chassis. The Forbes Field Motorsports team got the issue fixed in time for Barbara to finish second in his heat race.
Keith's second place finish set him up with the fifth place starting position for the 25-lap feature. Barbara was strong throughout the event and climbed up to third behind eventual race winner Lynn Geisler and Steve Baker but on lap 21 disaster struck. Smoke billowed out from underneath Keith's freshly decaled #17 forcing Barbara to the pits with an 18th place finish.
The Forbes Field Motorsports team will be back in action this Saturday and Sunday, April 12 and 13 for the Inaugural UFO PA State Short Track Championships at Challenger Raceway in Jacksonville, PA. Keith will take a day off on Monday and then make his way to Lernerville Speedway in Sarver, PA for the $10,000 to win World of Outlaws Late Model Series sanctioned 'Showdown in Sarvertown' on Tuesday, April 15.
