We finally got a Sunday night show in this past weekend as we headed east to Vinton. We, as I am sure many of the fans, are always appreciative of the program getting done early. It was no different this time as we were on the road for home right at 9 p.m.
The IMCA stock car feature saw Dave Sires take advantage of his pole starting spot and would lead early. However, you can almost always count on Justin Temeyer to make a good showing and that he did. He overtook the leaders of Sires, then Norm Chesmore as he went home to take the checkers first. Following him was "The Chelsea Charger", Damon Murty, for second, Curtis Roster in third, Paul Shepherd took fourth, and fifth was Scooter Dulin.
Our visiting IMCA modified racer friend from Las Vegas, Dan Fitzgerald, was in attendance and was anticipating the modified feature on "the little bullring" track. He was also glad to finally see the "home of the IMCA modified". Seeing our black dirt tracks is a real change from the type of track he is use to in the Western Region area...to say nothing of seeing a cornfield off the backstretch!
The feature saw pole sitter Jerry Dedrick and the 17 of Brian Krall put on a battle for a while.
At the finish line, it would be Brian Krall taking the victory, followed by Jesup, Iowa driver Ronn Luritzen, and finishing third through fifth respectively were Scott Hogan, Jerry Luloff and Jon Thimmesch..all from far back in the starting field.
The popular IMCA Northern SportMod class would have to have their A Main trimmed by running two B Mains. This class has really grown and we note that more often than not, consy races will have to be run at any track we attend. Danny Dvorak had his eye on the prize tonight, as he put his #3R car to the lead and went on to Victory Lane. Kurt Hogan took second, Joel Rust came from far back in the starting field to take third, Jim Buhlman was fourth and rounding out the top five was Drew Fish.
Scott Pippert took the IMCA hobby stock A main win as he was followed across the line by Brad Forbes, Doug Laughridge, Joe Sprague and Jeremiah Wilson for the top five. Earlier in the evening, the Sport Compact feature was won by the 38DD of Gary Peiffer.
Promoter Mick Trier puts on a timely run show and we saw good racing, and we were on the road to home early. Those all make for appreciative fans and drivers as well.
If Mother Nature allows, try and get out to a track for some good racing action. Happy racing!
