Be careful what you ask for, because someone may be
listening is the moral here.
After racing to a 5th place finish in his most
recent outing at Stockton’s 99 Speedway last Saturday night in Ted Finkenbinder’s
Western Industrial X-Ray/Les Schwab Tire #3f and putting himself within
striking distance of USAC Western Classic point leader Tony Hunt, Geoff Ensign
was already thinking about his next race. Talking to Driver Dave, who hauls Finkenbinder’s
sprint car to and from races, Ensign said in passing, “It’d be great to go to
Washington for the ASCS deal up there Friday and Saturday.” Dave picked up his cellphone, connected with Finkenbinder,
and the rest they say is history. It seems
Mr. Finkenbinder loves to race as much as The Human Highlight Reel.
Sebastopol’s Ensign and the entire Western Industrial X-Ray
#3f crew including Ted himself made the audible to head north for the simple
reason that there isn’t any USAC racing down here, and basically the car is
just sitting there. Certainly, an unused
racecar is a terrible thing to waste.
Tuesday morning, Ensign will be on his way to Finkenbinder’s shop to ready the car and load the hauler, and
they will make the long tow to Gray’s Harbor raceway in Elma, WA for two nights
of racing ASCS style this Friday and Saturday, joining the California
contingent which includes Visalia’s Steven Tiner and Princeton’s Mason Moore.
