Martin, Jeffrey
Jeffrey looks like he may be a force to reckon with amongst the Street Stocks in 2011 in his Escort GT. He is just plain fast....and when he gets the handling down so all of the power is being used to propel him where he wants to go, he'll be moving forward and collecting trophies!
EVENT 1 - MERCHANTS BANK 150
MAY 1, 2011
Martin didn't compete in the weekly events at Thunder Road last season, although he did
take part in the M&M Enduro
Jeffrey was able to avoid this wreck and keep moving froward in the Reserve Feature
Straight up the middle
Martin grabbed the Checkers in the Reserve Feature but managed only a 25th Place finish in the Feature....
look for improvement as the season goes on!

I bet Jeffrey would be the first to tell you that the last few weeks have been pretty tough for him -
this Checkered Flag in his heat race was a sign that things may be turning around.

EVENT 14 - TRIPLE 50'S SPECIAL EVENT
AUGUST 11, 2011
I know what you're thinking - and no I don't have this photo of George Sanders' Junkyard Warrior on
the wrong page as I put it here on Jeffrey Martin's Street Stock page. It seems that last week the Top Ten
in points, which Martin was, had their engines torn down in Tech. Somehow, the valves on Martin's engine
got bent.....and left him without a car. That just sucks! So his good friend George offered his Escort...and
they all went to work to convert it. Wasn't competitive but it makes for a good story.
Martin battles with Paul Grant in the "Non Qualified Feature"
EVENT 15 - VERMONT ACE HARDWARE STORES
AUGUST 18, 2011

heat race
No luck in the Reserve Feature either
