LETHBRIDGE, ZACCHIGNA, CARTER FEATURE WINNERS June 21, 2003 - Another fantastic night of racing is in the books, and it delivered a new feature winner to the fans of Sunset Speedway. Ron Lethbridge, running his first full season here this year, led early and held off a hard charging Lambert Yake for his first feature victory in the Late Model division. The relief of the win was obvious on Ron's face, since a horrific wreck during the season opener left him with an unrecognizable Grand Prix early in the season. Yake turned in a stellar night as well, working his way from eighth and seriously challenging Lethbridge for the win. Brendan Adams, Ron Quesnelle and Vic Parsons completed the top five. Ken Bemrose couldn't pull off a "birthday present" third feature for himself, as he was caught up in an early wreck and had to settle for a hard fought 11th. In the Thunder Cars, Mark Zacchigna capitalized on a sixth starting position and pulled off his second feature in a row. It wasn't easy though - for the last third of the race, Amanda Connolly, Doug Harvey and Frank Davey hounded Zacchigna for top spot. Connolly just couldn't get a good run on Zacchigna. Davey was able to grab third from Harvey, otherwise that was the way they finished. Mark Adams got hung in traffic, but was still able to check in for fifth. Sunset's newest race class, however, produced one of it's oldest winners - wily veteran Jimmy Carter snagged the feature from deep in the field. Carter trained his way forward behind Joe Sherman, then took the lead about 1/3 of the way through and never looked back. Sherman had a battle of his own, as he fought for second with Joey McColm - Joey would prevail on the last lap. Aaron Martyn and Ted Edwards grabbed fourth and fifth. The Plan Group was on hand to bring the action to us, and they had many of their friends and family in attendance. We hope everyone had a great time, and thanks to you for all your support over the past years here at The Fastest Third Mile! |
