Oakland Valley Speedway

                   Race Report by John  Sainz

 

May 21,2011: What a night! It was a crazy weather day at Oakland Valley Speedway today with some early rain showers, then clearing in the afternoon. Track was in excellent shape for practice with plenty of grip. It was going to be fast. Then after the drivers meeting the skies opened up and it poured. We thought it was the end of the world! Anyway, after the rain delay, John Diotte and his crew got to work and got the track in very good condition. We were racing!  Then as the features started, the fog rolled in. Visibility was a little tough at times, but we went on with the races. The features started with the popular Heavys class, with Bill Wood taking the win. Blake Hulseapple looked good in the Kid Kart class and Devin Greer took the win in Rookie Champ over Jake Mason. The Rookie Slingshot class had Jared Labagh winning over Carly Dippel. In the Lights class, Steven Gully took the win over Dylan Wood, his first this year.

      In the Junior Slingshot class, Kevin Predmore,Jr. took the win over Tyler Johnston and Erin Paulison. It was Kevin’s first win this season. In Junior Sportsman Champ, Sean Glennon looked to be hooked up pretty well and cruised to his second win this year. Anthony Wood came home second with Ryan Quackenbush third. In Junior Clone, Trevor Ross continues to impress in his win over an improving Andrew Enderes,Jr. Junior1/Rookie class had Anthony Roselli taking the win and Colin Belanger took the win in Junior 2. The Junior Stock class had Scott Bentley taking the win over Kyle Fuertges. Dominick Roselli took the win in Junior 3 over Charlie Lowther and Patrick Hayes.

      In the Mediums class it was Roger Belanger running away from the field to take the win, his second in a row. Senior Stock saw Larry Rose take the win over James Brundage. The Senior Slingshot class had Eddie Reiley get his second win in as many races, over Matt Reiley. The Senior Champ class had John Sainz taking the win.

      We had the World Formula Modified Tour on hand this week and with twelve entered, it was a great show. Paul Pairo picked up the win over always fast Tommy Kosch. It’s always great to see these guys at Oakland Valley Speedway.

       We also had a special race to benefit Saint Judes Childrens Research Hospital. The Senior race had eleven entered and it was Bill Wood taking the win with Roger Belanger closing in on him finishing  second. We want to thank these racers for participating in this charity race. Most of the drivers donated their winnings to the charity after the race. There was also a Junior Race-a-Thon with Scott Bentley taking the win.
