Oakland Valley Speedway

                   Race Report by John  Sainz

 

July 9, 2011: .We were back to racing again at Oakland Valley Speedway after the Fourth of July Holiday weekend with lots of great racing action. The nights features started out with the Senior Stock class taking to the track and it was Roger Belanger taking the first checkered flag of the night and his first win in this class. Kevin Morgan and John Wolfe had a good race for second with Kevin edging John out for that spot. In the Heavys class, Adam Fredericks picked up his first win of the season in this class with a hard charging Jason Wolfe on his heels. Dennis Mathews took third. In the Lights class, a very fast Danny Hoeffner, after meeting the wall in turn four in an earlier heat race, took the win in this class and fourth in Heavys. I’m sure he’s very sore today. It’s nice to be young! Alex Arndt and Dennis Mathews rounded out the top three not far behind Danny.

    In the Senior Slingshot class, Fast Eddie Reiley pulled away and  picked up his fifth win of the season, with Fred Cannock second and John Mann third. The Junior Slingshot class had Erin Paulison picked up her fourth win of the season and third in a row. Jared Labagh was second and Isaiah Masker third.  The Rookie Champ class had Devin Greer taking the win over Jake Mason, who has been steadily improving each week. In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, great race between Sean Glennon and Flyin Ryan Quackenbush, with Sean taking the win. Samantha Mattera placed third. Good run by her. In Senior Champ, John Sainz took the win over Aaron Turner and Bob Mattera.

   The Junior Stock class had McKenzie Hasenflue picking up her second win of the season with Patrick Dempsey second and Hali Vandermeulen third. In Junior 3, Dominick Roselli picked his fourth win in this class. He has won every time he has entered this class. Great job by Dominick and crew. Patrick Hayes came in second and Carissa June third. The Junior 2 class saw the return of the Belanger brothers with Colin Belanger picking up where he left off before racing in the New York Dirt Kart Series. He picked up his fourth win of the season with Tyler coming in second. Ryan Quackenbush came in third. In Junior Clone, Trevor Ross returned to the track and after injuring his hand and picked up hie fifth win this year. Andrew Enderes, Jr. took second. Anthony Roselli took the win in Junior 1. The last class of the night was the Medium class. Adam Fredericks, doing doubly duty in this class and Heavys, took the win in Mediums also. Scott Thomas was second and Dylan Potter third.
