Hogge Wins His Fifth Pat And Jim Pettit Memorial Shootout
At Ocean Speedway
Watsonville,
CA...September 26...Bobby Hogge IV won the 33 lap IMCA Modified Main
Event Saturday night at Ocean Speedway. This was the Tenth Annual Pat
and Jim Pettit Memorial Shootout race, and it was also the fifth win for
Hogge in this big event. Hogge made a thrilling move with just a few
laps remaining to go from third to the $3,006 victory. Robby Sawyer also
made a late move around Troy Foulger for the $1,006 second place
finish, while Foulger settled for the $806 third.
Troy
Foulger raced into the lead from the start ahead of Nick DeCarlo.
William Gould and Kellen Chadwick were having a spirited duel for the
third position during the early laps. By the sixth lap, Foulger and
DeCarlo had pulled away from the third place battle. Chadwick went high
in Turn 2 on Lap 6 to reclaim third from Gould, and a yellow flag waved
on Lap 10 for Buddy Kniss in Turn 4. Foulger continued to lead DeCarlo
and Chadwick on the restart, but Brad Pounds moved past Chadwick for the
third spot on Lap 13 with a low move in Turn 4. Bobby Hogge IV settled
into fifth behind Robby Sawyer on Lap 15. Sawyer was working the outside
groove, while others were on the inside. Hogge saw what Sawyer was
doing and started working the outside as well. Chadwick spun in Turn 2
for a Lap 20 yellow flag. On the restart, Sawyer moved into the third
spot behind Foulger and DeCarlo, and an outside pass on the backstretch
of the 27th lap gained Sawyer second from DeCarlo. Hogge made an outside
pass on the front stretch a lap later to take third from DeCarlo.
Sawyer and Hogge quickly caught Foulger. While Sawyer moved down to the
bottom, Hogge remained committed to the outside Hogge made an outside
pass on the backstretch on Lap 32 to take the second spot from Sawyer
and made a similar move around Foulger on the backstretch a lap later to
take the lead. As Hogge sped on to victory, Sawyer made an inside pass
in the final turn to steal second from Foulger. Foulger settled for
third, followed by DeCarlo, Kyle Heckman, Ryan Daves, Dylan Thornton,
Shawn Natenstadt, Nick Trenchard and Michael Scruggs.
The
field increased to 60 cars for the second night, and they ran six 10
lap heat races once again, transferring the Top 2 finishers directly
into the Main Event. William Gould won the first heat ahead of Shane
DeVolder, while Brad Pounds outran Kyle Heckman to win the second heat.
Michael Scruggs picked up the third heat win ahead of Aaron Crowell, and
Troy Foulger outran Bobby Hogge IV to win the fourth heat. Robby Sawyer
bested Oregon racer Nick Trenchard to win the fifth heat, and the final
heat race win went to Nick DeCarlo ahead of Kellen Chadwick.
.
In
an effort to try to save time, officials elected to run two 12 lap B
Mains with 26 cars in each, and the Top 6 finishers would earn
transfers. Josh Combs led the first four laps of the first race before
being overtaken by Jerry Flippo. Flippo would have problems as Ryan
Daves got the lead. Daves would score the win ahead of Combs, Buddy
Kniss, Brian Cass, Randy Thornell and Tim Balding. The second B Main saw
Danny Lauer and Friday night winner Dylan Thornton share the front row.
It was Lauer leading Thornton the entire way for the victory, followed
by Shawn Natenstadt, Carl Berendsen II, Cody Burke and Anthony Giuliani.
Burke appeared to be in a good position to win the championship after
incoming leader Jim Pettit II was eliminated in an early crash. However,
Pettit was able to get the last starting spot in the Main Event on a
Promoter's Option and would manage to win the championship by a slim
margin ahead of Burke.
Andrew Peckham won the
23 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. Peckham also won the feature race
the night before. On this occasion, he picked up $1,006 for his effort
as he led from the start. Peckham set the early pace ahead of Todd Gomez
and Fred Ryland. Ryland moved into second on Lap 7, but Peckham held a
pretty good lead. Ryland began to close in on Peckham as the leader
caught traffic by the 14th lap. Tanner Thomas spun in Turn 4 for a Lap
18 yellow flag. Though the field was bunched, Peckham continued to hold
off the pressure of Ryland. Ryland gave it one last shot on the final
lap, but Peckham prevailed at the checkered flag. Ryland still collected
$606 for second, followed by Gomez, Cale Kanke, Nick Spainhoward,
Philip Shelby, Guy Ahlwardt, Kenny Shrader, Gavin Espino and John Piker.
The
53 IMCA Sport Modifieds were split into six 10 lap heat races that
would transfer the Top 2 directly into the feature race. Andrew Peckham
won the first heat ahead of Kenny Shrader. Nick Spainhoward won a
thrilling side-by-side battle with Jim DiGiovanni to win the second
heat, and KC Keller outran Todd Gomez in a battle of the #38 cars. The
fourth heat went to Mark Garner ahead of Aaron Farrell, and Fred Ryland
outran Gavin Espino to win the fifth heat. The final heat race win went
to Phillip Shelby ahead of Vaughn Vondera.
They
ran two B Mains instead of the four B Main format of the night earlier.
Taking advantage of their front row starts, Guy Ahlwardt led Austin
Manzella led the entire distance of the first 12 lap race for the 1-2
finish. John Piker, Tanner Thomas, Adriane Frost and Justin Gonzalez
also made the cut into the Main Event. Cale Kanke looked impressive in
winning the second B Main ahead of Andrew Pearce, Trevor Clymens, Kodie
Dean, Steven Allee and final transfer Dylan Potter.
Nick
Johnson won the 23 lap Hobby Stock Main Event. This was the
second-straight win in this race for the Bakersfield racer, and he
collected $506 for his effort. Fellow Bakersfield racer Kevin Irwin
raced into the early lead as Johnson had to start back in the fifth row.
Six-time Watsonville champion Sam Kennedy was an early second ahead of
Domossie Scoggins. Dave Schuyler Jr brought out a yellow flag on Lap 3,
and Scoggins moved past Kennedy for second on the restart. Irwin
continued to lead the way, and a yellow flag waved on Lap 5 for point
leader Joe Gallaher in Turn 2. Johnson beat Kennedy back to the line for
third, and he took second from Scoggins on the restart. However,
Scoggins came roaring back on the 10th lap in this thrilling
side-by-side battle. Johnson ran low and Scoggins ran high, and Johnson
gained second again on Lap 12. A low pass in Turn 2 of the 14th lap
gained Johnson the lead from Irwin, and a yellow flag waved moments
later for Bobby Huckaby Jr in Turn 4. Johnson continued to lead the
restart and led the rest of the way for the well-earned victory. Irwin
settled for second. Scoggins crossed the finish line in third ahead of
Sam Kennedy, but both drivers were disqualified in post race tech. This
elevated Mitch Enos to a third place finish, followed by Billy Nelson,
Steve Remde, Mark Morton, Ryan Hart, Jerry Skelton, Joe Gallaher and Ken
Winland.
They ran four 10 lap heat races with
the Top 4 finishers transferring directly into the Main Event. Dave
Schuyler Sr won the first heat ahead of Kevin Irwin, Jerry Skelton and
new IMCA Sport Modified champion Adriane Frost. Dave Schuyler Jr outran
Billy Nelson to win the second heat as Sam Kennedy and Ken Winland also
made the transfer. Nick Johnson picked up the third heat race win ahead
of Steve Remde, Austin Van Hoff and Bobby Huckaby Jr. Rob Gallaher
crossed the line first in the final heat, only to be disqualified in
post race tech. This gave the win to Mitch Enos ahead of Domossie
Scoggins, James Coots and Jim Robbins.
In an
effort to save time, they elected to run 25 cars in the 12 lap B Main.
Friday night winner Dylan Wilson led early ahead of Quentin Harris.
However, Bobby Huckaby Sr and Mark Morton would both get around Harris
as Wilson continued to lead the way. A scary moment on the last lap as
they headed down the back straightaway saw a car spin and nearly clip
Wilson. Wilson somehow managed to get by and collected the victory ahead
of Huckaby Sr, Morton, Harris, Chris Bennett, Kevin Lesch, Ryan Hart
and final transfer Joe Gallaher.

Thornton, Peckham, Wilson Win Opening Night
Of Pat And Jim Pettit Memorial Shootout
Watsonville,
CA...September 25...Dylan Thornton won the 33 lap IMCA Modified Main
Event Friday night at Ocean Speedway. This was the opening night of the
10th Annual Pat and Jim Pettit Memorial Shootout. The win paid $1,003 to
Thornton, who used lapped traffic in the closing laps to hold off Bobby
Hogge IV. Due to covid-19 guidelines, fans were not allowed in the
grandstands, but the race was broadcast on internet pay-per-view at floracing.com.
The
race got off to a rocky start when Andy Obertello spun in Turn 4,
making contact with Austin Burke. Burke got into incoming point leader
Robert Marsh, and both drivers rolled in the fourth turn. Nobody was
injured, but Burke and Marsh were out of the race. Reigning All Star
Series champion Tim Balding raced into the lead at the start ahead of
Ryan Lauer. A low pass in Turn 2 on Lap 4 put Thornton into second.
Contact sent William Gould spinning from third in Turn 4 on Lap 7.
Balding continued to lead Thornton and State point leader Troy Foulger
on the restart. Hogge made a high pass in Turn 4 on Lap 12 to take third
from Foulger. Hogge was working the outside line with Thornton giving
Balding plenty of pressure from behind in an intense three-car battle up
front. Thornton finally made an outside pass on the frontstretch on Lap
16 to take the lead from Balding. Hogge was able to make a similar move
a lap later for second, but Thornton had built a decent lead by then.
An intense battle for third developed, and Foulger made a Turn 4 pass on
Lap 25 to take third from Balding. A lap later, Jerry Flippo went past
Foulger in the same turn to grab the third position. Hogge caught
Thornton in traffic with two laps to go. However, Thornton made the
right moves when he needed to and scored the well-earned victory. Hogge
crossed the finish line in second, only to be disqualified in post race
tech. This handed the $600 second place finish to, followed by Foulger,
Balding, Robby Sawyer, Brad Pounds, Trevor Fitzgibbon, Cody Burke, Ryan
Daves and Jim Pettit II.
There were 60 IMCA
Modifieds for the show, and that meant there would be six 10 lap heat
races with the Top 2 finishers in each race going directly into the Main
Event. Bakersfield star Brad Pounds won the first race ahead of Brian
Cass. Austin Burke held off Robert Marsh to win the second heat. The
third heat went to Dylan Thornton ahead of JC Elrod, while Tim Balding
outran William Gould to win the fourth heat. Danny Lauer bested Andy
Obertello to claim fifth heat honors and the final heat race win went to
Troy Foulger ahead of Michael Scruggs
They ran
four 10 lap B Mains and decided to transfer the Top 3 finishers in each
of them directly into the Main Event. In the first B Main, Shane
DeVolder led the early laps. Midway through the race, DeVolder and Jerry
Flippo exchanged the lead a couple of times, but DeVolder would prevail
ahead of Flippo and Jim Pettit II. The next B Main saw polesitter Bobby
Hogge IV lead from start to finish ahead of Aaron Crowell and Cody
Burke. Kellen Chadwick also had a flag to flag run to victory in the
third B Main, followed by Robby Sawyer and Ryan Daves. Polesitter Derek
Nance continued that trend by leading all the way to win the final B
Main ahead of Trevor Fitzgibbon and Buddy Kniss.
Andrew
Peckham won the 23 lap IMCA Sport Modified Main Event. With the
increased purse money, his second win of the year at Watsonville paid
$503. Past Marysville champion Phillip Shelby raced into the early lead
over 2019 State champion Guy Ahlwardt and Peckham. Peckham slipped past
Ahlwardt for second on Lap 3. On Lap 11, the leaders caught a slower
car. Peckham went low in Turn 4 to make the move around Shelby for the
lead. Moments later, a tangle between Austin Manzella and Justin
McPherson brought out a lap 11 yellow flag. Peckham led the restart, but
another crash involving point leader Adriane Frost, Darren Thomas and
Stephen Allee in Turn 3 brought out a Lap 12 yellow flag. The next
restart saw Ahlwardt move into second behind Peckham, but a Turn 4 crash
involving Antioch champion Trevor Clymens, Allee and past State
champion Nick Spainhoward brought out the final yellow flag of the race.
Peckham led the next restart ahead of Ahlwardt and Todd Gomez. An
outside pass on the frontstretch on lap 16 put Fred Ryland into third.
Ryland went inside Ahlwardt down the backstretch on Lap 20 to take
second. However, Peckham had about a straightaway advantage over Ryland
at the checkered flag. Ahlwardt settled for third, followed by Gomez, KC
Keller, Shelby, Brent Curran, Cale Kanke, Kenny Shrader and Randy
Miller.
The IMCA Sport Modifieds had 58 cars
for the show, and they ran six 10 lap heat races with the Top 2
transferring directly into the Main Event. Santa Maria area racer Dylan
Potter won the first race ahead of Cale Kanke. The next heat win went to

immediate lead ahead of Kevin Irwin and Dave Schuyler. A yellow flag
flew for Turn 2 spins involving Brianna Troen and Norman Ayers. Wilson
continued to lead Irwin and Terry Campion on the restart. Rob Gallaher
stalled in Turn 1 with a flat tire for a Lap 7 yellow flag. Irwin moved
around Wilson for the lead on the restart as Billy Nelson continued to
run third. A low move in Turn 2 on Lap 15 regained Wilson the lead.
Nelson went low in Turn 4 on Lap 17 to take second. Irwin spun on Lap 18
for a yellow flag. Ayers and Steve Remde tangled in Turn 2 to botch the
first restart attempt. Wilson led the final restart ahead of Nelson and
Tyler Bannister. Bannister made a low pass in Turn 2 on Lap 21 to take
the second position from Nelson with Nick Johnson also getting by for
third. Wilson led the rest of the way for the victory, followed by

Pete Paulsen sponsored a big trophy for the occasion. Hannagan was
piloting the "Junkyard Dog" Hardtop, owned by Doug Braudrick, and this
was his third win of the season.
Defending race
champion Kimo Oreta shared the front row with two-time race winner
Jason Armstrong. Unfortunately for Armstrong, his race didn't go as well
as hoped as he retired along with Dave Mackey, who was piloting his
Dudley Brothers Tribute Car. Mackey had just installed a new motor in
his racer. Hannagan got the lead from Oreta and set sail for his third
feature triumph of the season. Oreta finished a respectable second, and

DJ Johnson won the 25 lap Wingless
Spec Sprint Main Event. This was the third win of the season for the
current point leader, who was rebounding nicely from a disappointing
effort at the previous race. Johnson had the pole for the race and
motored ahead at the start. Driving a car for Ted Finkenbinder, last
week's USAC West Coast Sprint Car winner at Petaluma Speedway, Geoff
Ensign, methodically worked his way from the fifth row to take up
pursuit of Johnson. Johnson would prevail at the checkers, followed by
Ensign, seventh row starter Jarrett Soares, ninth row starter Alan
Miranda, past Petaluma champion Ryon Siverling, Jeremy Newberry, Dylan
Bloomfield, Marcus Smith, Kaimi Moniz-Costa and Tony Bernard.

Austin Liggett won the 20 lap
BCRA Midget Main Event. This was the first Antioch appearance for the
BCRA Midgets in several years. Liggett won the first USAC West Coast 360 Sprint Car race of the year at Petaluma Speedway and is the 2018 USAC West
Coast 360 Sprint Car champion. He started on the front row with Nick
Foster. Foster would be no match for Liggett, but Bakersfield area racer
Brody Fuson took up pursuit. Liggett prevailed at the checkered flag
ahead of Fuson, Scotty Farmer, Corey Elliott, Jake Andreotti, Colton
Raudman Shawn Arriaga, Blake Bower, Foster and past BCRA and USAC
champion Shannon McQueen. They delivered an impressive 19 cars for this
show with the eight lap heat race wins going to Fuson and Jarrett

flew on Lap 15 for Dennis Liebig on the back straightaway. As Brown
continued to lead, Jones got a good run on Haney to take second on the
restart. However, Haney stayed with him and made a high pass in Turn 2

4 on Lap 24. Haney had a terrible restart and got hung out to dry in
Turn 2 as Brown led Jones and Anthony Pope. A Lap 25 yellow flag flew

Jones and Haney on the restart as Pope spun. Brown pulled away from
Jones, who managed to keep Haney behind in his second place effort.
Winter settled for fourth, followed by Trent Morley, Brandon Wiley,
Camden Robustelli, Wagner, Nick Velasquez and Kammermann.
Brown
set the tempo for the night by outrunning Haney and Winter to win the
10 lap Fast Dash and secure the pole position start for the feature

preliminary features, and those wins were earned by Toby Brown, Dustin
Loughton, John Chrisman and Tommy Velasquez III. Devin Breese had a pole
position start for the 12 lap C Main and led all the way for the
victory. Shane Youngren had a good battle through the first half of the
race with Brad Ernst for second. Ernst gained the spot for good on Lap
5, and Youngren retired on Lap 7. Garrett Brady finished third ahead of
Nick Velasquez and John Isabella. Tommy Velasquez III won the 15 lap B

Scott Dahlgren won the 20 lap
Veterans Dwarf Car Main Event. The race was restarted twice. The first
incident saw Ronnie Williams roll several times on the backstretch. He
was not injured. The next restart was caused when two cars got together,
resulting in Mike Corsaro spinning on the front straightaway. Dahlgren
led Kevin Miraglio and Dan Geil on the next start attempt. A high pass
in Turn 4 on Lap 3 gained Miraglio the lead from Dahlgren. Dahlgren
stayed in the hunt and made an inside pass on the backstretch on Lap 12
to regain the lead from Miraglio. Tim Fitzpatrick was having a solid
race in third, and Corsaro made a move into fourth on Lap 15 with a
backstretch pass on Jack Haverty. A final yellow flag flew on Lap 15
when Haverty spun. New champion Kevin Bender moved into fourth behind
Dahlgren, Miraglio and Fitzpatrick on the restart. However, Corsaro made
an inside pass on the backstretch on lap 17 to reclaim fourth. Dahlgren
scored the well-earned victory ahead of Miraglio, Fitzpatrick, Corsaro,
Bender, Geil, Casey Hofer, Tom Morley, Stacy Woods and Chuck Connover.
The
10 lap Fast Dash set the tempo for the night, and Dahlgren had his work
cut out for him from his fourth row starting spot. Miraglio led four
laps before the hard charging Dahlgren motored past to get the lead and
victory. Miraglio settled for second ahead of Stacy Woods. They ran four
10 lap heat races with wins earned by Eric Weisler, Mark Biscardi, Mike
Corsaro and Roger Peel. Glenn Sciarani had a pole position start and

Brown, Miraglio, Holcombe Win Opening Night
Of Dwarf Car Nationals At Marysville
Marysville,
CA...September 25...Darren Brown won the 20 lap Pro Dwarf Car Main
Event Friday night at Marysville Raceway. This was the opening night of
the 25th Annual Western States Dwarf Car Nationals, hosted by the NorCal
Dwarf Car Association. The event produced a field of over 120 Dwarf
Cars among three different classifications. The drivers who finished in
the Top 10 in each of the Preliminary Main Events automatically
qualified for the Fast Dash on Saturday that would set the first five
rows of the Main Events for that evening. The speedway allows 100 fans
in attendance due to covid-19 guidelines, but the race was broadcast on
internet pay-per-view at floracing.com.
Trent
Morley led the opening lap of the Pro Dwarf Car Main Event before a
Turn 2 tangle that involved point leader Shawn Jones, Adam Teves, Danny
Wagner, Sean Catucci and John Isabella. Morley continued to lead Brown
and Camden Robustelli on the restart, but another yellow flag flew for
Ryan Martinez in Turn 2. The one lap at a time trend continued for the
next few laps with Morley leading the lap three restart. A yellow flag
waved when Josh King crashed into the front wall. Ben Haney took the
lead on the restart, and Michael "Spanky" Grenert took second from Ryan
Winter on a Lap 5 restart. Brown was running fourth at the time, and he

Austin Wins North State Modified Series Race
At Redwood Acres Raceway
Eureka,
CA...September 26...Cameron Austin won the 60 lap North State Modified
Series Main Event Saturday night at Redwood Acres Raceway. Thanks to
sponsorship from McMurray and Sons Roofing, the win paid Austin $1,000
in the Protect The Harvest North State Modified Series race. This was
also the final race of the season at the speedway.
Austin
had a front row start and charged into the lead at the start ahead of
Randy Houston and Darrin Knight. Jeremy Nowlin brushed the wall in Turn 4
on the opening lap, but he kept going without need for a yellow flag as
he headed for the pits. Scott Winters brought out a Lap 6 yellow flag.
Austin led the restart with Knight using an inside pass on the
backstretch to take second from Houston. Darrin Sullivan moved into
third on Lap 13 with a Turn 2 pass. Other than the yellow flag early in
the race, this event had no slow downs. Knight managed to keep up with
Austin through much of the race, and they were steadily working through
slower traffic by the halfway point. Sullivan was having a solid run in
third as Houston was maintaining fourth ahead of Ian Elliott. Knight's
advantage over Houston by the halfway point was half a straightaway.
During the final ten laps, Knight closed in on Austin and attempted to
get by. Knight took looks to the inside of Austin with two laps to go,
but Austin kept his cool. Austin brought it home to a well-earned
victory ahead of Knight, Sullivan, Houston, Elliott, Kyle Tellstrom,

Raquel
Krupa won the 25 lap Bomber Main Event. She led all the way, but she

win the championship. Donnie Brown made an inside pass on the
backstretch on Lap 5 to take second from Sam Brown. Sam Brown got just a
bit out of shape down the backstretch as he tried to put a lap on
Bridget Steeves. Raquel Krupa had Donnie Brown shadowing her every move,
while Jordan Krupa closed in on Sam Brown in the race for third. On the
14th lap, the complexion of the race and the championship changed as
Donnie Brown spun on the backstretch. Brown was trying to make a move on
the inside of Raquel Krupa and spun to avoid taking her out. Raquel
Krupa continued to lead Sam Brown and Jordan Krupa on the restart. Sam
Brown tried to find a line around Krupa, but he was unable to get the
job done. Raquel Krupa was the happy winner, and Sam Brown notched the
championship with his second place finish. Jordan Krupa settled for
third, followed by Tony Ramazotti, Donnie Brown, Chris Naughton, Kasey

sixth lap gained White third, and he went high in Turn 2 on Lap 8 to
take second from Nicoles. White made a Turn 1 pass on Lap 10 to grab the
lead from Sarvinsky. Sarvanski and Chris Lawrence were having a close
battle for the second position, but Sarvinsky spun in Turn 4 for a Lap
19 yellow flag. White continued to lead Nicoles and Lawrence on the
restart. Krupa was running in fourth with Sarvinsky already challenging
him for the position. Lawrence took the second position from Nicoles on a
Lap 23 restart, and Sarvinsky made a low pass in Turn 4 on Lap 28 to
take third from Nicoles. White led by a straightaway at the checkered
flag, followed by Lawrence, Sarvinsky, Nicoles, Krupa, Maleesa Miles,

Jeremiah
Martin won the 20 lap Road Runners Main Event. The race went non-stop,
and Martin charged into the lead at the start from his front row
position. Tim Ratzlaff was an early second, followed by Dave Rogers. New
champion Bryan Brandt made a Turn 1 pass on Ratzlaff on Lap 9 to grab
third and was already threatening Rogers for second. A low pass in Turn 4
on Lap 11 gained Bryan Brandt second, and he set his sights on Martin.
By Lap 15, Martin was working traffic. This enabled Brandt to close in
on Martin and battle side by side for a lap. However, Martin made a good
move on the inside on Lap 18 to pass two slower cars as they exited
Turn 4. That was the winning move as he brought it home to victory ahead
of Bryan Brandt, Rogers, Ratzlaff, JR Brandt, Lexi Coleman, Wayne
Marsh, Ty Rose, Brian Hopkins and John Wildman. Bryan Brandt had the
fast time at 20.038, beating the 20.242 of Ratzlaff. The eight lap heat

Turn 4 for a Lap 4 yellow flag. Cooper charged into second behind the
Aguirre on the restart as Herzog maintained third. The final yellow flag
of the race flew for a Turn 2 tangle involving Kayla Eshelman, Del
McIntosh and Mike Shapiro. Put on the outside for the restart, Cooper
surprised Aguirre by beating him back to the line to lead the lap.
Cooper led another lap before an inside pass in Turn 4 on Lap 17
regained Aguirre the lead. Herzog was running third ahead of point
leader Trevor Schlundt. An intense side-by-side battle developed on Lap
27, and Cooper beat Aguirre back to the line on the outside to lead the
next three laps. However, traffic aided Aguirre in regaining the lead on
Lap 31. He momentarily went to the outside, and Cooper moved down low.
However, Aguirre maintained good momentum on the outside and kept Cooper
behind him. Aguirre led the rest of the way with Cooper and Herzog
close behind him. Trevor Schlundt finished fourth, followed by Calvin
Hegje, Lily Mead, Eshelman, Shapiro, Jon Schlundt and McIntosh.
Aguirre
was the quickest of 14 qualifiers with a lap of 14.989. Mullins was
second quick at 15.020. The eight lap heat race wins were earned by
Aguirre, Mullins and Hegje.
Austin Carter won
the 30 lap Super Modified vs Sprint Car Main Event. This was also the
Donnie Large Sr Memorial race, and Carter was the only Sprint Car among
the 360 offset Super Modifieds. Donnie Large Jr led the opening lap
ahead of Art McCarthy, but McCarthy made an inside pass on the
backstretch a lap later to gain the lead. Carter made a couple of big
passes on Lap 3, and his low pass in Turn 3 gained him the lead from
McCarthy. Jim Birges settled into third, and the only yellow flag waved
on Lap 5 for Tim Skoglund in Turn 4. Carter continued to lead the way
with McCarthy and Birges close behind him. McCarthy had a bit of a push
issue exiting the turns, and Birges kept trying to move around the
outside. That battle took place for most of the race. Carter gained big
distance on the other two drivers when McCarthy brushed the wall exiting
Turn 4 on Lap 25. Birges slowed behind McCarthy. Carter had about a
straightaway lead by then, and Birges finally made an outside pass on
McCarthy on Lap 27. By then, Carter had a big enough lead that he went
on to victory ahead of Birges, McCarthy, Large and Skoglund. Carter had
the fast time of 12.751, beating the 13.111 of Birges. Carter also won
the eight lap heat race ahead of Birges.
There
were 18 Legends of Kearney Bowl Super Modifieds for a special tribute to
legendary announcer Kenny Takeuchi, who passed away last year, and
Craig Yockey, who passed away last month. They split the field into two
12 lap Main Events. The first Main Event saw Ricky Rialto lead for three
laps before Mike James went by. The duo had a side-by-side battle with
Rialto regaining the lead on Lap 5. However, James and Stan Yockey both
got around Rialto on Lap 6. Yockey made his winning pass on James on Lap
8 and went on to win. Dwayne Woodward finished second ahead of James,
John Bealessio and Rialto.
JP Shanoian led
early in the second Main Event. However, Tony Pereira charged by
Shanoian and would win by a wide margin. Full results of these races as
well as the heat races were not available at press time, but other
drivers in action included Wayne Kalustian, Ray Lawson, Kenny Meadows,
Joe Kirk, Larry Nix, Sean Delk, Curtis Taylor, Ken Richert, Bob Hutton
and Phil Moradian. CJ Stubbles and Jeff West crashed in the second heat
race.
Joseph Holiday won the 30 lap Focus
Midget Main Event. Kyle Cline led the race for eight laps with Holiday
following closely behind. As they went down the back straightaway on Lap
9, Holiday ducked low and made the pass in Turn 3 to grab the lead.
Holiday lead the rest of the way with Cline not too far behind him in
second, followed by Tres Van Dyne and Colton Ledbetter. Cline had the
fast time of 14.989, and Holiday won the eight lap heat race ahead of
Van Dyne. Jessica Bean was actually the fastest driver in hot laps, but
she blew a motor before time trials.
Shaun
Reynolds won the 30 lap MST Main Event. It was the fourth win of the
season for the point leader. Reynolds jumped into the lead from the
start and rapidly pulled away from brother Ryan Reynolds as the laps
went on. Shaun Reynolds took the checkered flag a straightaway ahead of
Ryan Reynolds. Haley Bugg managed to stay on the lead lap in third as
the Toyota of Thomas Magray completed the finishing order. Shaun
Reynolds outran Ryan Reynolds to win the eight lap heat race, and Shaun
Reynolds had the fast time of 16.500.
Manny
Gonzales won the 15 lap Hobby Stock Main Event. Gonzales and Thomas
Suarez had a close battle going during the first five laps before
Gonzales pulled ahead. Gonzales went on to win ahead of Suarez. Gonzales
also outran Suarez to win the eight lap heat race and set the fast time
of 16.359. Drew Ries scratched after hot laps.
Next
week will be another MavTV Televised Series event. The Nut Up Pro Late
Models will have a $10,000 to win 150 lap race, and it's also Round #3
of the Race 2B Drug Free Big3 Series. The 51fifty Energy Drink Junior
Late Models will run a 70 lap race, and there will also be a Mini Cup vs
Bandolero Series race. Once again and thanks to nutupindustries.com, the race will be broadcast for free on the track's YouTube page. For further information, go to www.racemadera.com or check out the Madera Speedway Facebook page.

The Editor's Viewpoint
I'm
trying something different with the column this week, and that means
that I'm writing it after having written 11 race review articles. It's
Monday morning as I'm writing this, and my hope is to streamline things
from here on out. This means I will try to be a little bit more
selective in what we cover and will be slowing down in the weeks ahead. I
deal with a high volume of information. I'm doing my best to be as
accurate as possible, and it does get challenging. I constantly remind
myself to double check certain things, because I'm not always sure I'm
remembering something accurately. Doing this massive media effort is
certainly a challenge, even with the high volume of information that's
available.
You're going to get good news and
bad news in the days ahead. You can definitely see a push towards
opening things up more as the truth is coming out about what this
covid-19 situation is really about. That doesn't mean everything's going
to happen all at once. Take, for instance, winter racing. We know that
the Chowchilla Barnburner will not run in 2020. We know that Red Bluff
Indoors will be running their program. We just heard that Salem Indoors
won't be happening. They have the big program of Karts, Micros, Dwarf
Cars, Mini Stocks and Motorcycle activity throughout the winter months,
but nothing will happen in 2020 at least.
I
have to wonder if multiple tracks will attempt to do a New Year's race.
Marysville plans their annual playday on New Year's, at least according
to their schedule. The plans we've heard from the Stockton Dirt Track
are to run a similar New Year's program to the one they ran this year,
but will there be any other takers? Given the unusual year that we've
gone through, it won't be surprising to me if another track throws their
hat in the ring to run a similar Stock Car oriented program, or maybe
somebody might try to do something with Sprint Cars. I don't know that
there are a bunch of Sprint Car racers really wanting to run that early
in the year, but you never know. Stockton is unsanctioned, so might a
track with IMCA sanctioning try to do something with Modifieds and Sport
Modifieds on New Year's day? For some reason, I think of Antioch,
Merced or Bakersfield when I ask this question.
Since
I brought up Bakersfield, an announcement was made official at
Bakersfield Speedway on Monday morning. The Budweiser Nationals has been
canceled. We pretty much speculated that this was the case a week ago
when that race was quietly removed from the track's website. They did
announce that they are running a Nos Energy Drink USAC National Midget
show on November 17th, and the web page reflects that on their countdown
clock.
I really hate to see this race not
happening this year, but I understand why Scott Schweitzer made the
move. Therefore, there's nothing really special happening in California
when it comes to IMCA Modifieds or IMCA Sport Modifieds on October 9th
and 10th. Everybody stayed dark to work with Bakersfield. It might be
interesting to see if somebody tries to slip in a last minute special at
another track to fill the void, but it's okay to leave it as it is.
What
Keller Auto Speedway in Hanford is doing on October 10th didn't get
lost on me. They can't have fans in the grandstands, but that doesn't
mean they can't have people seated in the grandstands. Notice the
difference? When they run the Morrie Williams Tribute race for the
NARC/King of the West Fujitsu Winged 410 Sprint Cars along with the
Kenny Takeuchi Tribute for the Legends of Kearney Bowl Super Modifieds,
fans will actually be able to buy tickets to enter the pits. I don't
think there's a reduced pit pass for that. It just means you don't have
to be associated with a car to come into the pits there. Oh, by the way,
you will be able to sit in the grandstands. The high price for a ticket
might deter some people from doing that, but I guess we'll just have to
wait and see. The Keller Auto Speedway Facebook page will have more
scheduling information in the days ahead.
I
really appreciate what Placerville Speedway is doing with their October
3rd event. The Big Trophy Night was originally scheduled to happen at
the end of August, but it is also the Mac Tiner Sr Memorial race. It's a
big Thompson's Auto Group Sprint Car race, and the pay will $5,094 to
win. The payout is pretty good on down, including $394 just to take the
green flag. The Tiner family has been bringing in sponsorship, and these
people are pretty awesome. They have also made sure that an additional
$1,000 each is being put into the Pure Stock, Limited Late Model and
BCRA Midget Lites purses. It's going to be a big event in Placerville
this Saturday night. I appreciate that they're trying to take care of
the other classes. Floracing.com will have the pay-per-view, and the Placerville Speedway Facebook page will post all the other relevant information.
I'm
not so sure about Petaluma Speedway right now. I don't think they're
necessarily hitting it out of the ballpark with what they're doing
lately, and last weekend's Ninth Annual Adobe Cup PitStopUSA.com
Winged 360 Sprint Car race sort of dragged on. The Lumberjacks
Restaurant Super Stock/Tri State Pro Stock race only had two finishers
in the end. I give the track credit for paying good purse money, but I'm
not sure why the show dragged on as long as it did. They will be
running a big race for the USAC and BCRA Midgets this Saturday night,
also including the General Hydroponics Redwood Dwarf Cars and other
classes. They'll be on floracing.com, and the Petaluma Speedway Facebook page will have additional information.
This
Midget race along with the one on October 24th will include point fund
money sponsored by the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame. It includes
$1,000 for the two-race title and pays the Top 5. They also just
announced the purse for the West Coast 360 Sprint Cars. I'm sure they're
hoping to get more participation from the actual USAC regulars when
they return on October 17th. This will include $1,000 to win, $600 for
second, $400 for third and $100 minimum to start.
The
frustrating part is knowing you've got the USAC label on these races,
and yet the regulars have not really supported the two races held at
Petaluma so far. The track still managed to make something happen. I've
said before that this highlights the fact that there's enough Northern
California interest that they were able to pull off two shows. Somebody
could start a series in the area. It could be that the USAC Sprint Car
and Midget race planned at Placerville a week earlier will drum up
better support for both tracks. However, something big broke last
weekend
It was announced that Merced Speedway
General Manager Doug Lockwood is stepping in as co-owner of the West
Coast 360 Sprint Car Series. Doug will be managing the group, so he'll
be picking out the officials and all of that for next year. Doug's had
one heck of a year this year with his creation of the California IMCA
Speedweek Series that we had in August. That was certainly a resounding
success. He was also instrumental in making sure that the USAC National
Midgets Tour came to California when he booked them for a race at Merced
Speedway during Thanksgiving week. We had lost the Turkey Classic at
Ventura, which is unable to open this year. Doug gave them a place to
race. He hasn't had a lot of racing at Merced this year, but the moves
Doug has made have certainly had a positive impact on the future of
racing in California.
Doug's road to becoming
the Merced GM saw him gathering experience with various Sprint Car
tours, which included the World of Outlaws, SCRA and USAC. He has a
passion for Wingless Sprint Car racing, which makes him a perfect fit
here. The way I see it, the West Coast 360 Sprint Car Series could use a
little bit of a boost. It's not that things were on the decline, but
there's room for improvement. Doug may be the right guy to help make
this happen, so it will be interesting to see who he puts in place to
officiate the series. As far as what happens at Merced Speedway, keep an
eye on them at the Merced Speedway Facebook page for announcements in
the days ahead. The John Fore Jr/ Bob Smith Memorial race is coming up
fast on October 23rd and 24th.
I don't want to
drone on and on about what specifically happened at the tracks this
weekend. We have several race review articles to discuss that. A few
things need to be mentioned, and I'm going to start with Antioch
Speedway. The Chet Thomson Memorial Hardtop race happened, and there was
some nervousness going into the weekend. Even Promoter Chad Chadwick
admitted on the live pre-race broadcast at the Antioch Speedway Facebook
page that he didn't expect to see the car count he had.
By
the way, you should check out the live pre-race broadcasts they do
there as announcer Wylie Wade is doing several interviews. I mentioned
this a while back, but it bears repeating. I'm impressed with the way
Wade has stepped up his game this year. We haven't seen that guy at
Antioch before this year, but it's good to see him doing so much on
social media right now. It's helping the track immensely, in my opinion.
I
was wondering what they would get in Hardtops and BCRA Midgets
specifically. There were a dozen Hardtops, and that wasn't all that they
could have had. This was done with almost no hype heading into the
weekend, so I can just imagine what would happen if there was a leader
actively trying to get people to that race track. Behind the scenes, I
know Dave Mackey was part of an effort to get three of the Hardtops out
there, but I am sad to see Dave's night didn't go as well as hoped. It
was a good night for Doug Braudrick and the Junkyard Dog Hardtop team as
Joel Hannagan scored the win, but more details are in the article.
There
were three Sportsman cars among the field, and I've known for a while
that Chadwick is interested in that class. His roots go back to Antioch
Speedway in the 1970s, and I was hearing from people connected to Chad
last year that he was interested in doing something with this class. He
verified this in the pre-race interview. He spoke with Sportsman
leadership about getting the division some visits to Antioch Speedway in
2021, but he also said that the Hardtops have a place at Antioch. This
could be a good thing for everybody as far as I am concerned. I'm glad
to hear that there is Sportsman leadership as there needs to be.
Considering what's going on at the Merced track, you'd better have some
organization going within your group or you'll get lost in the shuffle. I
don't want to see that happen with these cars.
I'll
get more into Chadwick in a moment, but the BCRA Midgets didn't lay an
egg this time. I'm very proud of the group for stepping up and bringing
19 cars to this event. They invited people from the Western Midget
Racing group. The Ecotec cars didn't do too badly, but I have a hunch
that the BCRA leadership is looking at these cars. They might be
considering what they want to do in the future, but what they needed to
do immediately was have a good showing.
This
was an opportunity to get back in at Antioch on a more regular basis, so
they needed to produce a car count. They did just that. Austin Liggett
won the race, but the BCRA was the overall winner as I'm sure they'll be
back. If these guys focus on the dirt, there could be a revival. That's
good for a variety of reasons, one of which is that they could be
getting some of those young drivers coming in from the Micro Sprint
ranks. This group has skated along for the last few years, but they can
rebuild with the right effort.
As I said,
Chadwick was smiling. He did the right thing by giving the Super Stocks
the night off to go to Petaluma. It's interesting to note that it didn't
matter. I'm sure the six or so guys that would have been at Antioch
would have chosen that instead of Petaluma. They didn't go to Petaluma.
He booked a non-point Hobby Stock race and got 18 cars, which is better
than he was going to get with the original schedule. The 26 Wingless
Spec Sprints on hand showed the viability the class still has. Suddenly,
a night that had some people worried that there might not even be 40
cars delivered over 70 of them. This was the sleeper success of the
weekend
Chadwick basically reminded everybody
that the divisions we've witnessed this year will be back next year.
Nothing is going away, and we will be seeing IMCA Stock Cars next year
as well. They're hoping to have a Monster Truck show next year when they
have fans in the stands, and there's some chatter among people in the
pits that it's possible the grandstands could be open in the next couple
of weeks. I guess all we can do is wait and see, right? Despite this
whole covid-19 mess and this being his first year, Chadwick has managed
to do an exceptional job. I don't think it's been a big financial
success, but the groundwork is being laid for success ahead. I don't
blame the man for smiling. He's earning the praise he's receiving.
Other
tracks were having big money races this past weekend, but this weekend
will be the Bill Bowers Memorial at Antioch Speedway. It begins with the
pit party on Thursday and goes into the preliminary show on Friday. The
big money is on the line on Saturday. IMCA Modifieds race for $5,000 to
win, IMCA Sport Modifieds race for $2,500 to win and the IMCA Stock
Cars get a $1,000 to win prize. There is so much buzz going on about
this one, and I think it's going to be huge.
Chad also announced that not only is this race going to be on floracing.com,
but Chet Christner is coming to town to announce it. He also made an
adjustment regarding the schedule that essentially swaps the race on
October 24th with the race on October 17th. That means the Dwarf Car
event is on the 23rd and 24th so that the $1,000 to win Hobby Stock race
won't conflict with Merced as it runs on the 17th. The Antioch Speedway
Facebook page will help clear up those details.
At
Watsonville, it was the 10th Annual Pat and Jim Pettit Memorial
Shootout. At Marysville it was the 25th Annual Western States Dwarf Car
Nationals, hosted by the NorCal Dwarf Car Association. Watsonville had
over 150 cars and Marysville had over 120. One could be nitpicky about a
few things that happened on Friday night. Watsonville got off to a late
start that had them trimming a few laps here or there to make sure they
got done before the 10:00pm curfew, but it all got done. One could be a
little bit grumpy at the Watsonville flagman for some of those starts,
but what the hell? They had over 150 cars in the pits, and it was a good
show.
There was a call that happened in the
Veterans Main Event at Marysville on Friday that had me scratching my
head. I guess I don't understand how somebody can spin and trigger a
crash behind him and then get his spot back at the front of the pack.
I've never seen that happen at any reputable race track before. He
didn't end up winning that race, but the decision to put him back up
front probably helped assist him in winning the Veterans division
championship. Maybe there was something I missed, but he clearly spun.
The
other thing that annoyed me about Marysville was they didn't seem to
mind going until midnight. It doesn't really matter if you don't have an
11:00pm curfew. You should still try to get your races done in a timely
manner. Friday was not the smoothest night for either Marysville or
Watsonville, but it was more noticeable at Marysville. Both tracks still
offered good racing.
A lot of work goes into
putting these big events together. The NorCal Dwarf Car Association was
working for at least a month leading into this show. They were trying to
get the sponsorship they needed for purse money and also for the
parties that they have in the pits after the races. There's a lot of
work that goes into the organization of a Dwarf Car Nationals. I began
to appreciate that more in Medford as I watched Randy Slater organizing
things for the Southern Oregon Dwarf Car Association hosted event. It's
not just about the races on the track. It's about everybody getting
together and having a good time. Since I can remember, the Dwarf Car
drivers have always been about having fun on and off the track.
I
know there was a lot of work that went into the Pettit race at
Watsonville, because you don't have grandstands. You're not able to draw
on fan attendance to get purse money. You're only going to get so many
people buying the live stream, although I'm sure that helped. Jim Pettit
II and those working with him did a remarkable job. They had the
pre-race party on Thursday and did an after party on Friday. I know the
officials started to get nervous when they looked at the clock and
realized they had to run so many B Mains before even getting into the
Main Events. They ran right up until curfew on both nights.
I
found it interesting that they changed things up on Saturday and ran
half as many B Mains with bigger fields and more transfers. The thinking
is you're running a couple less races and that should make the program
go quicker, right? The one reason you run more B Mains, in theory, is
because fewer cars should go faster in a race. More cars is almost
certainly going to lead to more yellow flags. That seemed to be what
happened, and it didn't seem to go any quicker from what I could see.
With the IMCA sanctioning, the way we handle the "Alphabet Mains" has
changed.
Whereas the Dwarf Car Nationals had D
Mains, C Mains and B Mains, you're going to get multiple B Mains under
the IMCA format. Therefore, you're not having that excitement of
watching a driver work their way from the D Main into the Main Event.
Everybody's got the same shot of getting out of the B Main and into the
Main Event, or so that's the theory in changing things up. If you run a C
Main, you still have to go into the B Main. I don't know. I prefer the
old school way. Run the alphabet. That's just the way I remember it.
I
know people who actually have to drive these cars see it differently.
It was interesting to see incoming IMCA Modified point leader Jim Pettit
II eliminated in a B Main crash. He ended up starting the Main Event on
a "Promoter's Option" and finished right behind Cody Burke. That should
wrap up the championship for Pettit. I feel kind of bad for Burke, who
worked hard to get out of the B Main and would have won the championship
otherwise.
The racing got progressively better
at Watsonville on Saturday, and Tom Sagmiller did an exemplary job of
giving them the best racing surface he could. The IMCA Sport Modifieds
rattled off several laps before their first yellow in the Main Event.
Andrew Peckham held off Fred Ryland to get the win. I don't want to get
into details too much here, but it needs to be mentioned that Bobby
Hogge IV did his usual thing. He made the outside groove work to
perfection and got around both Troy Foulger and Robby Sawyer for his
fifth IMCA Modified win at the Pat Pettit Memorial. Some people called
this the race of the year, and it very well could have been. It was
certainly entertaining.
At the end of the day,
they delivered 60 IMCA Modifieds and over 160 cars on the second night.
Think about that. We're struggling to get 50 cars in the IMCA Modifieds
at some of the big shows with the IMCA Sport Modifieds as part of the
roster. There were 60 cars on Saturday. That's absolutely incredible. I
think people know that the window to go racing at some of these venues
is closing, and it's also special event season. A lot of people want to
be at the Pettit Race, so they got a car count befitting this event.
Kudos go to everybody who made this one happen. It was certainly a
bright spot on what's been a lousy year overall.
After
Petaluma delivered over 100 cars for the Dwarf Car Nationals earlier
this year, I knew Marysville wasn't going to come up short. They also
ended things in a big way as Darren Brown scored the Pro division Main
Event win. If there's a guy who's been able to stop Shawn Jones this
year, it's been Brown. Jones still drove an impressive race and will win
the Nationals championship with his second place finish. He just wasn't
going to beat Brown. I heard somebody mention 12 states were
represented for the Dwarf Car Nationals this year. To me, that is
absolutely incredible. There is another date sitting on the calendar at
Antioch Speedway, and I'm curious if there could be a big Dwarf Car
invasion coming then as well.
What it all goes
back to is the belief that Frank Munroe had that these Nationals events
would be huge. When you get 120 cars of one classification showing up at
the race track, you've done something right. If this were booked the
way they did it in the early years, they'd be running through several
letters of the alphabet. They've refined it a little bit with the Pro
class for the more experienced racers, the Veterans class for the older
racers and the Sportsman class for the newer drivers. When you watch the
Sportsman competitors, you understand why it is what it is. It's great
to see so many new drivers making the long trip to these Nationals
events, as this is how they get better. I guess if my only nitpick is
they seemed to take their time running the program, I can't really
complain. The racing was enjoyable on Saturday.
Even
the regular Marysville classes did okay with 10 Limited Late Models on
Saturday and 9 Crate Sprints on Friday. It was the best turnout of the
year for both classes. The open wheel theme continued at Madera Raceway
as the Legends of Kearney Bowl Super Modifieds and offset Super
Modifieds competed along with the regular Madera Club Race divisions.
It's about what you would expect from a Club Race. The offset Super
Modifieds had a low turnout, but they still put on a really good race
for what they had. The Late Models also delivered the goods with a close
battle at the front of the pack.
I'm a little
disappointed in the coverage of the Legends of Kearney Bowl Super
Modifieds. I had that question in the back of my mind when considering
this criticism. What do you expect for free? Nutupindustries.com
is paying to allow Madera Speedway to broadcast this for free. They
didn't show the heat races for the Legends of Kearney Bowl, although we
did see the aftermath of the crash that ended the second heat race. The
announcers seemed to do a better job of covering the first of the two 12
lap Main Events, but it would have been nice to know how the other
drivers were doing on the track in the second race.
Tony
Pereira clearly drove his car harder than everybody else in that race.
Then again, some of the drivers are just out there going at their own
speed. I would love to know how fast Tony was actually going around the
track. One of the announcers remarked how interesting it would be to see
about 10 of these drivers come out and run a race, not an exhibition
race. I 100% agree with that comment, although that's not what the
Legends of Kearney Bowl are all about. To me, if they're going to bring
the car count that they do, they can run it however the hell they want.
I'd never tell them to change their style, but I'd love to see a group
of drivers create an alternative effort that did race. I love the look
of these cars, and it would be entertaining to watch them actually race
them,
Kenny Shepherd and Outback Andy do a
good job of presenting these Club Races. They're coming up on another
MavTV taping, and this one includes a 150 lap $10,000 to win Nut Up Pro
Late Model race this Saturday. It's the third round of the Race 2B Drug
Free Big3 Series. The 51fifty Energy Drink Junior Late Models and the
Mini Cups vs Bandoleros will also be there. Their Nut Up Pro Late Models
are advertising a $4,500 to win B Main, but I'm remembering the fine
print this time. If they don't have more than 28 cars in the pits, the B
Main won't happen. You can find out what's going to happen and where to
find the live stream by going to the Madera Speedway Facebook page.
It's
a shame that the cameras weren't going at Hanford, because they
delivered the goods. I hate to say this about a track that I love, but I
almost wish the cameras at Petaluma would have been at Hanford instead.
At least Hanford had the support. There were about 80 total race cars
for that show. The King of Thunder Winged 360 Sprint Cars delivered 25
competitors, which likely had a negative impact on the 18 car field that
Petaluma had. There were even 21 RaceSaver Sprint Cars, and it
mystifies me why they didn't have coverage in Hanford on an occasion
like this. It seems like a squandered opportunity to not at least do
something on Facebook
Stock Car representation
included 15 IMCA Stock Cars and 18 House of JuJu Central Valley Mini
Stocks. We're finally watching the IMCA Stock Cars break through to the
next level. Some of the drivers from Hanford will probably be at Antioch
this week. The Hanford regulars who have been involved in this for a
while, including people like Renn Bane, Troy Patee and Loren DeArmond,
can be proud that their efforts early on helped get the division to
where it is now. We're going to see some significant things happen with
this class going forward. As for the CVMS, there's not a bigger Mini
Stock effort on the dirt anywhere on the West Coast, and half of that
field has a shot at the glory at any given race. I hated to see Dan
Myrick having his motor issues as he hasn't won since before the virus
shut down, but Ryan Doglione was due for the victory that he got.
I
can't say that Coos Bay or Siskiyou Golden Speedway delivered much of a
car count, but I don't think it was expected at either venue. They made
the best with what they got. Yreka crowned champions last weekend under
what has been very challenging circumstances. Considering how many
times Promoter Kevin Barba was told no, it's remarkable that he didn't
just say forget it and try again next year. They're going to try to run
some events in October, but I'm not sure what kind of car count they'll
have for any of these races. Displaced Medford racers David Steele in
Mini Stocks and Mike Medel in IMCA Sport Modifieds won their respective
championships this year, and both are very deserving. They take a lot of
pride in their racing efforts and it shows.
Coos
Bay didn't get the Interstate Sprint Car Series moniker for their $700
to win show, but they still attracted one of Oregon's best Sprint Car
drivers in Garen Linder, who ended up winning. This gives me one more
chance to mention the squandered opportunity that they had in not
getting IMCA sanctioning for their Dirt Modified and B Modified classes.
They will be crowning champions in these two classes as they ran the
final point events for them last weekend. The Dirt Modifieds are back for a $1,000 to win Main Event at the Prather family open show this weekend.
There's also a $2,000 to win Late Model show among the other classes,
and more information can be found at the Coos Bay Speedway Facebook
page.
For me, the racing on Saturday started
early as I viewed the free broadcast at the Redwood Acres Raceway
Facebook page. I'm not sure who the lady was who was announcing. She
wasn't the regular announcer, but she did a good job of making sure we
knew who was in what car. She actually made it more enjoyable to watch,
and I stayed with it as other broadcasts were getting started. The North
State Modifieds delivered 19 cars, and I definitely wanted to see the
action in what is probably California's premier pavement Modified
effort. They wanted to have one other race before the season closed, but
that's not happening. They crowned their champions and had a good
driver turnout overall. I think it was a good night to go out on. You
can catch the replay or other news from the track by going to the
Redwood Acres Raceway Facebook page.
The North
State Modified Series will be at Shasta Speedway this Saturday night for
the track's one and only race. They managed to get 200 grandstand seats
for this one and have been selling tickets. Last I heard, they were
trying to see if they could get permission to sell more tickets. It's a
$10,000 purse for the Modifieds. They will be joined by the Legends of
the Pacific for a $1,000 to win race. The Hornets will get a $300 to win
show, and the BCRA and WMRA Midgets will run a head-to-head show as
well. I know of no internet pay-per-view being offered, nor do I know if
the track will release results, which they've been terrible at over the
past few years. You can go to the Shasta Speedway Facebook page for
news as it may come.
Because of the fires, the
Ukiah Speedway race that was going to happen this weekend has been
postponed or possibly canceled. I'm not sure if they'll have another
date for the Bomber Bash as there is an Upstate Bomber race that they
have scheduled for later in October. The Ukiah Speedway Facebook page
will put that information out there and will probably broadcast whatever
racing for free.
It's been a chore trying to
get any information out of Orland Raceway. They ran their fifth event of
the season last weekend, but it probably would have been smarter not to
hold a race. The numbers went down noticeably according to the lineup
board picture that we saw. The biggest count was again in the Pure
Stocks, and we heard only two cars finished the race. Kevin Pendergrass
picked up the win ahead of Shannon Collins. We know Tom Davis won a
three car Mini Stock race and Tony Richards won a seven car Wingless
Spec Sprint show. A #49 truck won their feature race, but we don't know
the name of that driver. More racing is happening at Orland, and you can
go to the Orland Raceway Facebook page for that information.
I
think this is as good a place as any to close this column. Following
this weekend, we're going to begin slowing things down on the blog.
There's still some events that we wish to cover, but it's about time to
disengage a little bit. We will make final decisions on future plans in
the days ahead, but a regular weekly effort like what we've been doing
isn't in the cards for 2021. There's just too much work to do for little
reward. I also see the changing trends in the sport and I'm questioning
whether somebody like me really has a place anymore. We'll still do
something with the blog, but it's changing.
This
will also stand as the only post that we do this week. I see no reason
to jump in with a weekend preview. I am looking forward to the Bowers
race at Antioch and I'm thankful that I will be able to watch it. I'm
going to cover as much as I am able to this weekend, and we'll see what
goes after that. I have a few ideas in mind for the future, but editing
the book needs to take more of a priority. I'm amazed I got this far
this year, but it's because of the support of those who are reading and
the people who have tipped us that we've gotten to this point. I'm proud
of the effort that's been made this year and over the past five years.
If you asked me six years ago if I would do any of this, I would have
told you no. It's been an interesting journey.
On that note, I'm going to end this column. Until next time...
