Although most of the racers participated in Sunday’s day zero pre-run, Monday was the first day that scoring was counted. The route for Monday took racers out to a lunch stop in Warsaw, Missouri, with the afternoon spent working their way back towards Springfield. Rally racers encountered sunny weather and temperatures over 100 degrees on day one. Competitors completed six legs on Monday with 19 aces including one each scored by all six of the top finishers for the day.
The team Richard and Ken Fredette, driving a 1928 Ford, continued their early success on the road course, completing all six legs only 11 seconds off perfect time. They had similar results on day zero, finishing only 10 seconds off to claim bragging rights for the pre-race. Other notables finishes included Corky Coker of Coker Tire in his 1932 Ford scoring 2 aces on the day and finishing 20 seconds off perfect. Our Hemmings Speedster entry had a great day, barely missing aces on three separate legs by less than 2 seconds and finishing the day at only 29 seconds off perfect time. Only good for 17th place in the standings on day one, but there is a lot of rallying left to be done over the next four days. Co-Pilot Mari Parizo sent along these pictures from the lunch stop in Warsaw. Tuesday’s rally route heads towards Nevada (Missouri that is), at the intersection of State Routes 71 and 54 near the Kansas border.
Stay tuned for further updates from the Hemmings crew all this week.
UPDATE (25.June 2009): The Benton County Enterprise had a mention of the rally’s stop in Warsay on Monday.
