Geving Improves in Third Trip to Placerville; Aims to Maintain
Petaluma All Pro Point Lead This Week
By Bill Sullivan PENNGROVE,
CA (5-4-08) - Every time Alissa Geving returns to Placerville
Speedway, things get a little bit better for the 16-year-old driver in
her sophomore year of racing behind the wheel of the
Chick-o-Motorsports, Pit Stop Usa #3x Maxim sprint car.
Saturday, May 3 was a busy day for Geving and her entire team as they
departed Penngrove at 7 a.m. and headed for El Dorado County to
participate in the first annual Tribute to Al Hinds Sprint Car Show
and bbq at Family Chevrolet in Shingle Springs. The area auto
dealership is the annual sponsor of the Tribute to Al Hinds race at
Placerville Speedway and Geving was one of 16 different drivers they
invited to the event that drew some 500 race fans and families who had
the opportunity to meet a number of different drivers.
"I would like to thank Tony Montalbano for inviting me to the bbq at
Family Chevrolet," said Geving. "It was an honor and a blast. I have
learned a lot this year and I have gained some awesome friendships.
I'm proud to be part of such an awesome organization, the Civil War
Series."
Following an afternoon of meeting hundreds of area race fans and
excited youngsters, Geving and the crew headed further east in the
afternoon to Placerville Speedway. The return to the action packed
bullring marked just her third visit in her racing career. The
characteristics of Placerville Speedway are quite different that that
of Petaluma and Silver Dollar Speedway which Geving and the team
frequent and have mastered the set up accordingly.
In qualifying, Geving was the 19th car to take to the track.
Placerville has been a challenge in qualifying during previous visits
but Saturday that was not the case when she turned a lap time of
10:767 seconds, placing her 12th in the 39 car field, her best
qualifying effort at the foothill speedway ever.
Gevings' qualifying time placed her in the fouth heat race of the
evening where she started on the outside of the front row, next to
Sacramento driver Willie Croft. Croft took the lead of the event while
Geving followed in his wake and the two top runners broke away from
the field. In the closing laps Geving closed in on Croft on pair of
occasions but remained patient and drove a smart race, finishing
second ahead of David Robinson Jr. and Brad Furr to secure a starting
spot in the 30-lap A-feature.
Starting 12th in the A-feature, Geving overtook Scott Kinney for the
11th position on the second lap and then fell victim to a dry slick
race surface and an ill handling car, spinning out to draw the yellow
flag. Following then restart, Geving began working her way back into
the race and just after moving into the 21st position lost traction in
the first and second turns to spin a second time, forcing her to the
pits for the evening.
Disappointed with her night, Geving remained positive and optimistic
about her third visit to Placerville Speedway. "Placerville was an
overall good experience, " said Geving. "Qualifying was the best part
of the night because I finally got dialed in as opposed to past
experiences. I was very happy with 12th in qualifying. The heat race
went well too, I found a lot of moisture on the track and that helped
me get second place. Our night ended bad but the rest was great so I'm
happy."
Geving's father Gary, a multiple Petaluma Speedway champion who now
spends his Saturday nights assisting his talented daughter in the pit
area, credited Alissa for her effort Saturday night. "We just missed
the set up tonight, and that's my fault," he said. "Alissa did a great
job tonight. Each time we've come here she has gotten one step
further. Tonight she made it into the A main and she hadn't done that
here before. This place is a lot different for us and we're starting
to figure it out so next time we'll take another step forward."
This Saturday, May 10 Geving and the Chick-O-Motorsports team will
head back to their home track of Petaluma Speedway to resume their
campaign in the 2008 All Pro Point Series championship. So far this
season, Geving has had a great deal of success on the 3/8 mile track,
earning one feature win, a second place and a third in the All Pro
Series as well as a sixth place finish in with the Golden State
Challenge Series, an event in which she competed with a 360 cubic inch
motor.
Geving returns to Petaluma Speedway in the point lead of the weekly
series. She has a 32-point advantage over veteran driver David Lindt
Jr. of Sebastapol. Geving will return to the Civil War Series for the
fourth leg of the 15 race campaign on Sunday, May 25 when the series
visits Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico for a special event over the
Memorial Day weekend.
Alissa Gevings' title sponsors include Pit Stop USA, Auto Repairs
Unlimited, Matt Cordiero Enterprises and A1A Muffler. Additional
sponsors include Parker Stores, Sequoia Logistics, Tillet Tool,
Kalembas Tire Center, Rossi Auto Body, Afex Graphics, ALC Machine
Century 21st Healthy Club, Hose Doctor, Spin Tech Mufflers, Fast Lube

NO BRAKES !, no problem; late race pass nets Geving first feature
victory of 2008 Petaluma All Pro Series
By Bill Sullivan PETALUMA,
CA (4-26-08)
Going into Saturday night, Penngrove's Alissa Geving was faced with a
big decision. Would the 16-year-old high school junior attend the prom
or strap into her Pit Stop USA-Chick-O-Motorsports #3x sprint car and
return to the likes of Petaluma Speedway for the weekly All Pro point
series? Choosing the latter of the two options, Geving made the best of
her decision, driving to her first feature victory of the season at her
home town track where she leads the point standing enroute to a possible
first career championship. READ MORE
