Mid
Season Champs - Lambert Yake and Tim Phinnemore
July
5, 2003 - The weather cooperated with us on Saturday night, topping
off a night of great racing for a full grandstand. Lambert Yake
jumped out from the outside pole and never looked back, taking the
Late Model feature and Mid Season Championship. Vic Parsons could
keep up with Yake, but was never able to get a serious run on the
lead. Chris Morrow had a good night, getting third in the feature
and a great heat win too. Ron Quesnelle worked his way to fourth
and Brendan Adams took fifth in the feature. Our other point leader,
Ken Bemrose, managed 8th place in the feature - this should change
the points to Morrow's and Quesnelle's advantage.
Tim
Phinnemore had a dominant run to win the 4 Cylinder feature - he
started on the outside pole and was never challenged for the win.
Jimmy Carter worked his way up from tenth position to get a hard
earned second. Bob Phinnemore, Mike Carson and Rob Snow rounded
out the top five. Carson and Snow have stepped up their runs as
of late, with good finishes in the features. Carter's finish should
help him pull out in the points lead - he also had two second place
finishes in his heats.
The
Thunder Car division produced another "hat trick" winner
- Ernie Fumerton grabbed both his heats and the feature. It was
a tough run though, as Mark Adams gave Fumerton all he could handle
for most of the feature - Adams worked low looking for room, but
couldn't get enough fender in to claim the inside line. Mark Zacchigna
checked in for third, with Rob Poole (who also won both his heats)
and Frank Davey completed the top five. Early heat action was particularly
entertaining, as Billy MacDonald and Andrew Cole had a huge race
going side by side for their first heat. Cole's luck ran out in
the feature - on the second lap he had a hard wreck into the back
stretch wall, putting him out for the night.
Barrie
Harley Davidson was on hand to sponsor the race event, and a
few cruisers took some "hot laps" out on the track during
intermission. The School Buses also ran a couple of races, and the
fans just loved it.
