Race Report by John Sainz
September 10, 2011: It was
back to racing at Oakland Valley Speedway after a couple weeks off due to labor Day Weekend and more weather. What a difference from
last season when we never got rained out. Hats off to John Diotte and his crew for getting the track into great shape
considering all the flooding everywhere. Now to the races! The first
feature of the evening was Senior Stock and it was a very fast Scott Thomas
picking up his fourth win of the season. Tom Brundage
came in second with David Thatcher, Sr. third. In the Heavys
class, Corey Wood pulled out to the lead and never looked back. He picked up
his second win of the season and was on a rail. LJ Lombardo, making his return
to Oakland Valley Speedway after a seven year absence, took second and Scott
Thomas came in third. In the Lights Class, a close race
between Geoff Feola and Alex Arndt, with Geoff taking
the win, his second this year. Scott Thomas, running his third class,
came in third.
In the Junior Sportsman Champ class, Sean Glennon picked up his tenth win of the season after passing
Anthony Wood to take the checkered flag. Anthony came in second and Ryan Quackenbush took third. In Rookie Champ, after improving
every week out there, Jake Mason picked up his first win of the season over
Devin Greer. Great job by Jake. In Junior 1, Anthony Roselli took the win over Tighe
Sherlock and Trevor Ross took the win, his ninth, over Garrett Lawlor.. In Junior Stock, a very
fast McKenzie Hasenflue pulled away from the field
and picked up her fifth win of the season. Patrick Dempsey came in second and
Logan Cole was third. In Junior 3, with it’s biggest
field to date, the Dominator, Dominick Roselli picked
up his ninth win of the season, but not without a battle from Kelby Quackenbush, who returned
to racing after some time off and was very impressive in her return. Patrick
Hayes placed third after tagging the wall in an earlier heat race. His crew
chief scrambled to get his kart ready for the feature and it turned out pretty
well. Good job.
In the Mediums class, a very good race
between LJ Lombardo and Allison Lockhart came to the flag with LJ taking the
win. Good to see LJ and his dad at the track. Allison came in a close second
and David Thatcher,Jr was
third. In Junior 2, Sean Glennon picked up his fifth
win in this class over Ryan Quackenbush and Jake Lowther. In the Junior Slingshot class, Cole Hentschel picked up his first win of the season over points
leader Erin Paulison. Leo Fotopoulos was third. In
the Senior Slingshot class, Fast Eddie Reiley picked
up his ninth win of the season, with Phil Collins (not the singer) coming in
second in his first time at the track this year. Zack Masker came in third. And
I was the only Senior Champ.
