Pocono Race : August 8th

Formula Pro Racing ran their seventh race of the season under the sunny skies of Pocono International Raceway’s tight and technical East Course on August 8th. Fran Honeywell in his DB4 Swift Formula Atlantic led the 15-car field to the green flag and never looked back. The FC1 pole sitter, Len Amato had a first turn spin in his Van Diemen FC which gave the lead to Chris Terranova followed closely by Ric Baribeault, Doug McKechnie and Gregory Jezarian.

By lap 3, Jezarian dove under Baribeault’s RF95 in the high speed turn one and quickly took Terranova under braking at the hairpin. Lap traffic helped Baribeault sneak by Terranova by lap 5 but allowed Jezarian to widen his gap and take his first win of 2006. Baribeault took second followed by Doug McKechnie for the final podium spot.

In FF, Jim MacNicholl handily piloted his VanDiemen to victory followed by Arnie Levine and Gary Valone.
