Dragons take to the Dirt!

In addition to the regular feature for the Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds, three machines would take to the track for a special competition. Brent Dragon behind the wheel of the #6 CV Elms machine tried to get an unfair advantage over the family running the whole night in the #6, but when the green waved and the pedals hit the metal dad and uncle were more than up to the challenge. The Dragons, Brent, Beaver and Bobby, would run a two segment feature, with the veteran Dragons quickly showing the “Boy” that they still knew how to drive, even if it was something none of them had ever set in before. Harmon “Beaver” Dragon in the #26 driven by Mike Dunn for the night took a bit longer to get used to letting the back end go, but by the end of segment two was seen pushing son Brent out of the way on his quest to claim the checkers. Younger Brother Bobby driving the #5 of Gary Siemons found himself in the right position for segment two, in front, and that was where he would stay for the event. Combined points showed a three way tie, and in segment racing, at the Ridge the final segment finish determines the overall finish. This would mean that all that extra seat time for the “youngin” Dragon would do him no good, as uncle, Bobby Dragon claimed the checkers, with dad Beaver in second, and Brent coming home in the final victory lane spot. Announcing for this historic event was provided by the MRN Turn Two Guy, God Father of Racing Dave Moody, and from the smiles seen on all the faces in victory lane, it is hard to say which of the four had a better time!
