Race Report by John Sainz
July 23, 2011: .It was a hot
day at Oakland Valley Speedway and due to the heat we had the show shortened.
We were able to run practices, one heat and an 18 lap feature and the show
moved right along. The best quote I heard all day about the heat was from Bob
Mattera, who said “ kids, it’s not if you win or lose but how fast we can get
into the pool after the race.”. That was great. Anyway, the features started
out with the Senior Stock class and after some close, hard racing, Scott Thomas
pulled away for the win. Aaron Turner took second and Gary Vandermeulen was
third. Good competition in this class this year. May have to dust off the old
Millenium and jump back in. In the Heavys class, Brianna Hasenflue led most of
the way but a very fast Corey Wood got around her and took the win. Brianna
took second and Michael Lybolt was third. John Schoebel made his first
appearance at OV this year. Good to see you John. In the Lights class, there was a great race between Geoff Feola,
Glen Varner and Dylan Wood. Geoff was able to hold off Glen for the win with
Dylan coming in a close third.
In the Senior Slingshot class, Matt Reiley
held off Eddie Reiley for the win with Fred Cannock third. In Junior Slingshot,
Erin Paulison picked up her fifth win this season over Isaiah Masker and Jake
VanPelt. In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, Sean Glennon edged out Flyin Ryan
Quackenbush for the win for his sixth victory of the season. Anthony Wood came
in third. Devin Greer was our Rookie Champ winner. In Junior 3, The Dominator,
Dominick Roselli, overpowered the field to pick up his sixth win in six races
he’s entered. This guy is fast! Charlie Lowther took second and Carissa June
was third. In Junior 2, Ryan Tani picked up his first win of the year. Good job
Ryan! Jake Lowther, celebrating his 11th birthday at the track, came
in second with Sean Glennon taking third after something broke on his kart.
Anthony Roselli wins in Junior 1. The Junior Stock class had Dominick Roselli
breaking through in this class with his first win. He was followed closely by
Patrick Dempsey for second. McKenzie Hasenflue took third. Our Mediums class
had Dylan Potter taking the win over Ed Owens.
