Race Report by John Sainz
October 15, 2011: A cool
fall day was with us at Oakland Valley Speedway today with a few showers to
start, then clearing up for us to begin our races. Great turnout considering
the weather forecast. The track was in very good race condition, thanks John Diotte!! The
features started off with the Senior Stock class and a very fast Scott Thomas
won both heats and took the win in the feature for his fifth win this season.
Aaron Turner came in second with David Thatcher,Sr. third. Way to go Dave!! In the Heavys class, Ian Petry picked up
his first win of the year by holding off a hard charging Billy Wood. That’s
hard to do. Great job by Ian. Lester Cole came in
third. In the Mediums class, Dan The Man Hoeffner looked to be hooked
up really good and took home the win for his fourth of the year. Loves his new Millenium! Brian Krummel in his first trip here this year came in second
with Dennis Mathews third. In the Lights class, Dan The
Man Hoeffner wins again for the sweep of the Lights
and Mediums. Eddie Sickles in his first time at the track this year in Lights, came in second with Jason Wilbur placing third. It
was Jason’s best finish so far this season. Good job.
In
Junior Sportsman Champ, Flyin Ryan Quackenbush strapped on a rocket and blew past Sean Glennon and Anthony Wood for the win. Sean took second
after Anthony spun and tagged the turn four wall. Anthony recovered to take
third. In Rookie Champ, Devin Greer returned to his winning ways and took home
the first place trophy. Jake Mason took second. These guys look ready to move
up into the next Champ class soon. In Senior Champ, John Sainz
takes the win over Eddie Wendt. It was Eddie’s first race at our track. Good iob Eddie! In Kid Kart, Cody Quagliato
took the win over Anthony Tresch. In Junior Rookie, Kristoffer Talmadge takes the win
over Angelina Talmadge.
In Junior Stock, in his first trip to
Oakland Valley Speedway, Steve LaRochelle took an
impressive win over points leader McKenzie Hasenflue. Patrick Dempsey came in third. In Junior 3, a
very scary moment when Carissa June spun out and collided wit the turn 4 wall.
The race was red flagged for about 30 minutes while Carissa was attended to by
rescue personnel. She was alert and talking, worried about her kart and having
to scale it. Even hurt always a racer. I did not get any updates on her
condition at this time, but I will post next week. The race resumed with Emily
Gage picking up her first win at the track. Points leader Patrick Hayes took
second and Joseph Kata,III
third. In Junior 2, a great battle between Flyin Ryan
Quackenbush and Colin Belanger took place with Ryan
taking the win. Colin took second with points leader Sean(THE CHAMP)Glennon very close behind
for third. In Junior 1, Anthony Roselli takes the win
over Damon Paul and Rebecca Lyons.
In the Senior Slingshot class, Fast Eddie Reiley cruised to his eleventh win of the season over Matt Reiley. Tyler Treacy took third
for the second week in a row. In Junior Slingshot, points
leader Erin Paulison picked up her eight win of the
season by a good margin over Jared Labagh. McKenzie Tresch returned to the track to pick up a third place
finish. Mathew Deritter was our only Rookie Slingshot,
and looks ready to move up into the Junior Slingshot class very soon. Thanks
