Race Report by John Sainz
May 7,2011:
Another great night of racing at Oakland
Valley Speedway started off with what seems to be the Main Event of the evening
every race, the Heavys class. In a thrilling, close
race it was a very fast Brianna Hasenflue getting her
first win in this class with Randy McCullough right on her bumper most of the
race. Great job of driving for Brianna, having come very
close to winning on week 1. She will be a force to be reckoned with this
year. Good job by her crew chief too. In the Kid Kart class, it was Blake Hulseapple taking the win over a steadily improving Elloree Neary, and in the Rookie
Champ class, Devin Greer wins over Jake Mason. The Rookie Slingshot class had
Jared Labagh winning over Carly
Dippel, with both of these young drivers really
picking up their lap times this week.. Looks like they will be in the Junior Slingshot class soon.
In the Lights class, Glen Varner, after
his hard encounter with the wall last week, healed himself and his kart up
enough to go out and win the race this week. He said he didn’t even scale it.
Good job Glen. In the Junior Slingshot class, it was Tommy Zwart
picking up his first win over Tyler Johnston as these two pulled away from the
field. Great group of young Slingshot drivers this year.
In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, Neary Bros.
Racing’s Sam Neary, was hooked up and pulled away to
the win, with a great battle for second between Anthony Wood and Sean Glennon, with Anthony prevailing. Good race. Our Junior
Clone class saw Trevor Ross taking the win over Andrew Enderes,Jr.,
and Junior Rookie Raelleigh Silvernail
wins over Brooke Fuertges.
In Junior Stock, Neary
Bros. Racing’s other driver, Scott Neary
was just as hooked up as his brother Sam and pulled away for the win by a good
margin. Crew chief Art sure knows how to set up some karts. Great
job by the Nearys. In Senior Stock, John Wolfe
cruised to his second win with Gary Vandermeulen
taking second. Junior 3 saw a great race with the top four very close together
and it was Patrick Hayes taking the win over Charlie Lowther
and Carissa June. Our Mediums class had two time Heavys champ, Roger
Belanger, picking up his first win in Mediums by almost a half track. Roger had his new Millenium
Impulse dialed in. Just want to wish good luck to our Mediums drivers that will
be participating in the New York State Dirt Kart Series (NYDKS) this coming
weekend at Paradise Speedway. It will be Roger Belanger, Dan Hoeffner, Dennis Mathews and Randy McCullough. Go get ‘em guys!
In Junior 2, it was Colin Belanger taking
the win over Tyler Belanger and Jake Lowther. The
Belanger brothers will be racing in the NYDKS next week also. Good luck to
them. The Senior Slingshot class had Fast Eddie Reiley
taking the win over Tyler Dippel with Tyler Pirone third. It was Eddie’s first win this year. In the
Senior Champ class, John Sainz picked up his second
win this year with Aaron Turner right on my bumper. Good, clean racing. Thanks
Aaron. Bob Mattera took third.
We will be closed next week, so we will
see you at the track in two weeks. Be sure to stop in to JK Performance Kart
shop located at the track. John Diotte,Jr.
has everything you need to get started racing including rental karts. He also
builds great racing engines. There is a brand new Millenium
Impulse kart on display at the kart shop. Stop in and check it out.
Thanks
to all who came out tonight. Please check our website for more information on
future events and updates.
