Race Report by John Sainz
October 8, 2011: It was a
perfect day for racing with unseasonable warm temperatures and plentiful
sunshine. Track was in excellent condition, thanks to John Diotte
and his crew. Many people were on hand to race, with large entries in Lights, Heavys and Senior Stock. In the Heavys
feature was a great race
with Bill Wood taking the win with Randy McCullough and Dennis
Mathews right on his rear bumper. It looked like Dennis would take the win, but
Bill took the lead with a few laps to go and reached the flag first. Also in
this race was a nasty wreck involving Adam Fredericks, who had spun out and
came to rest on the front stretch. A few other karts had made it past him, but
Kevin Morgan came through and collided with him. Both men got up and were OK,
I’m sure very sore today, but Kevin’s kart was destroyed. I did not get a
chance to speak with either of them after the races were over. Hope to see them
back next week. In the Mediums class, a very fast Clark McCollum took the win
over Dan Hoeffner. Adam Fredericks came in third.
This race was run before the Heavys race.
In the Lights class, Steven Gully drove a
great race to take the win, his fifth of the season, over Brandon Mullis and
his daughter Stephanie Gully, who came in third. It was Stephanie’s best finish
this season. Good job! Jake Mason wins in Rookie Champ and Damon Paul took the
win in Junior 1. In my favorite class, Junior Sportsman Champ, a great battle between
Anthony Wood and points leader Sean (The Champ) Glennon ended with Sean
taking the win after a corner caution caused Anthony to get off the throttle
for a spun kart and Sean zipped on by him. He tried to catch Sean but ran out
of laps. Good Race. Flyin Ryan Quackenbush
came in third. It was Sean’s eleventh win this season. In Junior Stock, Patrick
Dempsey ran a great race and took the win over Dominick Roselli
and a very fast McKenzie Hasenflue. It was Patrick’s
third win this season. Good job by Patrick and his crew. In our Senior Stock
class, with a fifteen kart field of
older guys, (where were all
these guys last year when I was in this class?!) it was a very fast Bill Wood
just pulling away from the field to take the win by five seconds over a good
race between John Wolfe and Mark Stanley. Mark held off John to take second.
In Junior 3, points
leader Patrick Hayes finally beat the Dominator Dominick Roselli
to pick up his second win this season. Good job by Patrick! Patrick Kelly came
home third. In Junior 2, Ryan Quackenbush took off
like he was shot out of a cannon to lead the race and pull away, but got up a little high in
turn 1 and 2 and spun out. Passing him were Lane Saville
and Sean (The Champ) Glennon who battled for
the lead the rest of the way. Lane Saville got to the
checkered flag first with Sean right on his bumper. Sean was held up on the
last lap a little by lapped traffic or else it would have been really
close at the finish line. In Senior Champ, John Sainz
took the win over Guy Hodecker. Thanks for coming
Guy. Hope you can make it back soon.
In Junior Slingshot, points
leader Erin Paulison picked up her seventh win of the
season by pulling away from the field. Jared Labagh
took second and Isaiah Masker came in third. Way to go
