Trust us, it may be raining where you are, but chances are we are still racing. Mother Nature has not won yet!

Another great night of racing has been recorded in the record books at Bear Ridge Speedway on David's House Benefit night sponsored by Dennis Preston Builder.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets Thomas Placey #22 Bradford VT had found his grove and is setting sail on the field with yet another win to add to his record book. Placey starting deep in the pack was able to work his way thru traffic and just past half way claim the lead to score the win at the end. Following Placey was Eric Lang #66 Groton VT, who has quickly figured out his way around the Ridge making this his fourth trip to victory lane this season. Filling the final victory lane spot was Jessie Smith #8 your current rookie points leader.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours it continues to be all Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT, who has claimed his eighth win of the season. Unable to get the break they need but accompanying Sunn once again to victory lane in reverse order from last week were Andy Johnson #25 Wilder VT and Mark Harran #57 St Johnsbury VT in second and in third.
The 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models had better luck this week in ending the race with as many as they started with. Tonight Tyler Stygles #50 Bradford VT was hot, taking the lead on lap one and cruising to the victory. Following Stygles in second was Jeremy Hodge #17 Newbury VT and Will Hull #61 E Montpelier VT your current points leader in third.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes the full fields of cars with several of the contenders being rookies is proving challenging at times for some of the veteran drivers. Several cautions slowed the pace of which Steve Bell was able to survive and maintain the lead until late in the race, when he would bauble and Steve Ellsworth #21 Corinth VT was there to make the move, taking the lead. Ellsworth remembering the last time he was in the position made sure to stay awake and cruised on to claim his first win of the season. Making his way back to victory lane after a rough week last week was Bryan King #X E Corinth VT and rookie Jeremy Stygles #68 Bradford VT.
The 99ROCK weekly racing series Bond Auto Sportsman Modifieds saw a new face in victory lane this week. Ryan Dutton #21 Bradford VT thanks to his three week average started on the pole and while the field behind battled for the second and third place spots was able to take advantage of his pole position and caution free race to claim the win. Coming home in second was Jack Cook #1 Moultonboro NH with last year's track champion Gary Siemons #5 Orford NH claiming the third and final Dennis Preston victory lane spot.
The Ridge Runner Hornet Queens were on hand this night and victory lane was a repeat from their visit two times ago, with Melissa King #99 E Corinth VT taking the lead away from Misty Bell #19 St Johnsbury VT late in the race and going on for the win over Bell. Donna Racine in the #24 was able to claim the final victory lane spot.
The WYKR sponsored at the Ridge Sprint Cars of New England were on hand with a great show afforded the fans. Donny Sharp back behind the wheel looked strong early, but midway thru the race found himself over the berm and kissing the front retaining wall. Chris Donnelly Orford NH was there to claim the top spot and go on for the win with Si Allen coming home in second and Kevin Chaffee claiming the third and final spot.
