Race Report by John Sainz
August 20,2011:
Seems like it’s been forever since the last race report. The August 6 race had
been rained out and the following week August 13, we had run through the first
round of heat races with only two classes completing their second round when
the rains came again. This race was carried over to this week to finish the
second round of heats. Racers were scored their finishing position by how they
would have lined up for the feature. Then with that completed, we began the
races for today. Due to time restraints, we ran only one heat, with that and
our points position determining our starting position
for the features, which were twenty laps. The first feature run was the Junior
Sportsman Champ class. A very good race with these kids, with
Sean Glennon taking the win and Anthony Wood taking
second. Ryan Quackenbush was third. The Heavys were next and Scott Thomas and Corey Wood battled
each other for the lead and it was Scott taking the lead with a couple laps to
go to take the win. Corey held on for second with George Bark placing third.
In the Light class, Alex Arndt picked up
his second win of the season with Danny Hoeffner
right on his bumper for second. Dennis Mathews was third. In the Rookie Champ
class, Devin Greer took the win over Jake Mason, and Joe Mattera,
making his racing debut, took third. In Junior Slingshot, Brandon McGill picked
up two wins tonight, one from last weeks race and the other from today’s race. Points leader Erin Paulison took
second and Evan VanValkenburg returned to the track
for third. Junior 1 saw Anthony Roselli win and in
Junior Clone, Trevor Ross picked up his eight win this season. In Junior Stock,
a very fast McKenzie Hasenflue pulled away from the
field to pick up her fourth win of the year, with Dominick Roselli
second and Patrick Dempsey third. In Senior Stock last week there were fourteen
entered with eight returning this week. John Wolfe took the win for last week
and a fast Scott Thomas took the win this week. Aaron Turner took second last
week and third this week.
In Junior 3, the Dominator, Dominick Roselli took the wins in both races making it eight wins in
this class, Carissa June took second both races and Charlie Lowther
was third in both races. The Mediums race was a good one with a very fast Roger
Belanger stretching out a huge lead, but a last lap caution for a spun out kart
bunched up the field for a one lap shoot out. Dan Hoeffner
got by Roger on the start and took the win with Dennis Mathews following a
close second and Stan Tabaka third. Junior 2 was
another great race with Sean Glennon leading most of
the way, but it was Colin Belanger, starting in the rear of the field after a
spin earlier in the race, running Sean down and making the pass for the win.
Sean came in second and Ryan Quackenbush took third.
We had two Junior Rookies on hand tonight and it was Garrett Lawlor taking the win over Damon Paul. The Senior Slingshot
class had Joey Massimilla pick up his first win of
the season over Matt and Eddie Reiley.
The track was fast and in great racing
condition thanks to John Diotte and his crew. Great
job! Thanks to all of our racers for coming out to race with us and
withstanding the rain these past few weeks.
