Race Day Recap
Saturday June 27, 2009
By Tom Stephenson
The fifth race day of the 2009 season went very well.  There was great racing, coupled with perfect weather; warm, with a slight breeze, and some cloud cover.
The race program started with a fast car dash in the A&W Late Model division. Chris Furkey led the 4 lap race from start to finish, with Terry McClelland, Roddy Bolduc, and Jeremy Van Hoek following. Nine cars started the Late Model heat. Rick Leonard took a lead in lap two. In lap 5 his EazyExpress teammate moved up into the second place position. The pair led the balance of the race with Terry McClelland taking third. Jeremy Van Hoek suffered a broken oil pump belt on the 5th lap and went off, but was back for the feature. ....Click Here to read more (you may need to register on our forum system to view the entire article).
Our sixth race of the 2009 season was set to run on Tuesday evening, June 30th, but was postponed until Thursday July 2nd, and then that race was cancelled due to rain and unsettled weather. Our next race night will now be Tuesday July 7th, with qualifying to start at 6 and racing at 7 pm. Now that school is out and we have warm weather, our regular race day will move to Tuesday nights, with a Thursday rain date.
We are still working on getting our first demolition derby of the season together. We'll announce a date for that when it is known. If you would like to participate in the upcoming demo derby, call Joann Lakeway truck. If you need a demolition car, there may be some available at Lakeway Truck as well, contact Donnie Varcoe for details about available cars.
