Brendan
Adams, Doug Harvey, Jimmy Carter Feature Winners
June
28, 2003 - Hard racing was the name of the game last Saturday, as
Brendan Adams won a caution filled Limited Late Model feature. Adams
managed to hold off a determined Lambert Yake, with "hard charger"
Chris Morrow coming up from mid pack for third spot. Ron Quesnelle
held on for fourth and Ron Lethbridge grabbed fifth. 6 cautions
flew during the event, mostly due to close pack racing throughout
the field - bent sheet metal, but no serious incidents. A few new
cars out, as John Bell had his 7x Avenger on track along with veteran
Don Jacobson with his trademark blue number 21. Jacobson had a good
run, finishing 8th in a field of 19 cars.
In
Thunder car action, "Hat Trick" Doug Harvey had a stellar
night with wins in the feature and both his heats - this should
certainly help him move closer to first in the points. With 2 heat
wins and a fourth in the feature last week, it is obvious he has
his Monte Carlo dialed in. Harvey didn't drive away from the field
though - he was hounded by a tenacious Mark Adams who made a solid
run in second spot. Ernie Fumerton, Amanda Connolly and Frank Davey
filled out the top five. Mark Zacchigna's luck ran out this week,
as a hard crash on the backstretch put him behind the wall about
mid-way through.
Jimmy
Carter pulled off his second straight feature win, racing up through
the field from 10th spot. Once he got the lead, he never looked
back. A huge battle shaped up for second place, with Mike Carson
(in a Mazda 323) challenging Rob Snow for second. For the last 3
laps, they swapped position several times until Carson grabbed the
spot for the checkers. Snow also had a good run for third. Ted Edwards
held on for fourth, and Mario Poulin grabbed fifth. Carson and Poulin
were both working hard on their cars at last Wednesday's practice
session, and it shows in their great finishes - good work guys.
The
Hurricane Midgets also ran on Saturday, with Jeff Ruddy taking both
his heats and the feature. The kids also had a blast with their
bicycle races on track. Special thanks to The Sargeant Company
for their support of the night's events.
