Raceday Highlights August 28, 2011
by Tom Stephenson
We had our race this week on Sunday, as part of the Hot Rides Cornfest weekend event. On the raceway grounds we had concerts, a classic car show, vendor area, food concessions, and a beer tent. Campers also filled the grounds and a fun time was had by all that attended.
Our race session got started with qualifying after noon. George Wilson regained the fast time in the Jiffy Car Wash Outlaw Modified division with a time of 13.899 sec, tearing down the record set by Tristan Anderson of 14.096 set just last race night.
The Race Night on Thursday August 18th was our third to last race night of the season, and some of the points battles are still heated. We now have just two race dates left in the
season, weather permitting.
Our race program got started with a Four Car Dash in the A&W Restaurant Late Model division. Caution came out on lap 3 when Keith King slid up off corner 4. There was no damage and he continued. The finishing order was Terry McClelland in first, followed by Paul McLean, Nick Guerriero, and King.
