WILEY FORD, WV - Pittsburgh’s Karen Rafferty may be cutting back her racing schedule this summer, but Rafferty Rules are still very much in effect in the Cumberland Airport Racing Series.

After four years of serious national SCCA autocrossing, Kent and Karen Rafferty have turned their efforts down a notch in 2004. But they still made time to come to Cumberland for the annual Airport Summer Sizzler event, where Karen swept two SS class wins and Fast Time Of The Day both Saturday and Sunday in a 2002 Corvette ZO6 – the same car that carried her to the national ladies SS championship last year.

“Kent and I really enjoy coming to Cumberland. It’s the best of both worlds,” Rafferty said. “The airport course is exciting and open, like something you usually see at the Nationals, but the camaraderie here is a very nice contrast to the championship title trail.”

“We’re planning on coming back in October.” King Karen warned with her trademark smile.

There was no shortage of challengers and strong performances among the 161 starters in the sold-out two-day event. Chesapeake Porsche Club hot shoe Derek Schwartz got within half a second of Rafferty in his 993 Twin Turbo on Saturday but was unable to make the starting line Sunday due to clutch troubles.

Other Saturday Top 5 finishers included Pittsburgh’s Rudy Orawiec in an AS class C4 Corvette, Kent Rafferty, and Pennsylvania ESP class standout Tracey McCabe in a Pontiac Trans Am.

On Sunday, Kent Rafferty was second followed by fellow Pennsylvanians, Orawiec, Dave Stoner in a BP C4 Corvette and McCabe.

Mike McCagh’s Farm Use Corvette was the top local finisher Saturday, scoring 16th overall on Saturday. Keyser’s Mark Boggs in a Porsche 914 also made the Saturday Top 20, placing 18th. On Sunday, Boggs was the top local finisher in 9th, followed by Will Lewis (Taurus SHO) in 12th. McCagh was 13th, Steve Hotchkiss (C4 Corvette) was 16th, Karl Loper (SS Camaro) was19th and Dave Williams (Porsche 944) finished 20th.

Double weekend winners in contested classes included Rudy Orawiec in AS, Mike Carson (Mazda Miata) in CS, Tim Eisel (Porsche 914) in CSP, Fred Pfeiffer III (Porsche 914) in CM, Dave Stoner (C4 Corvette) in BP, and McCabe (Trans Am) in ESP.

Local contested class winners included Greg Honeycutt (Porsche 928) and Pete Harrison (Honda S2000) who split weekend honors in BS. Tom Evans and Shawn Miller (71 Firebird) swapped wins in FS.
