Bradford, Vt. July 25, 2010
The 99ROCK weekly racing series saw heavy rain and an hour plus delay before racing could resume, but the delay was worth it, as it made for some of the best racing of the season Saturday night at the Bear Ridge Speedway sponsored by J&A Lawn Care and Boudreault Septic.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series the KDD NAPA Ridge Runner Hornets it was madness night with 86 laps sponsored for the field. It looked to be an easy overall win for Thomas Placey who dominated the first two segments, but an incident in the final segment saw Placey's hopes of winning go out the door. The third segment would be claimed by Eric Lang who made it by Scott Keithan with three to go. When the finishes were combined the final top five would be Eric Lang #66 Groton VT, Bobby Bell #24 St. Johnsbury VT, Mike Ryan #86 Chelsea VT, Michael Pittman #99 Corinth VT, and Jesse Smith #8 Topsham VT.
In the 99ROCK weekly racing series Journal Opinion Fast Fours Tim Hodge #2 had to work several laps before being able to get by Josh Connors #16 for the lead, and from there was able to do what no man has been able to do during the 2010 season, yes, to beat Josh Sunn to the checkers to claim his first win of the season. Mark Harran #57 St Johnsbury VT crossed the line behind Hodge for second, with Josh Sunn #11 White River Jct VT able to come from the back with three laps to go to claim the final victory lane spot.
For the 99Rock weekly racing series A Notch Above Limited Late Models it was double digits for the field, with several new faces prepared to do battle on the 1/4 mile clay oval. Jason Blake #07 Moretown VT got the jump on the start and looked poised to claim his first win of the season but a last lap bobble found Will Hull #61 E Montpelier VT right where we wanted to be in a spot to take the lead, and that is just what he did, and held on for the win. Blake held on for second with Troy Comeau #89 Rumney NH coming home in third.
For the 99ROCK weekly racing series Wells River Chevrolet B Coupes they managed to cut down their caution fetish of late getting in their 20 laps with only 3 yellows slowing the pace. Dwight Burgoyne #03 Rindge NH by virtue of the three week average found himself sitting on the pole, and was able to survive the three cautions and hold off the pack for his first win of the season. Coming home in second was Chris Carbee #5 So Rygate VT, with Steve Ellsworth #21 Corinth VT in third.
It was the final Gravco Janitorial and Jasper Engines Twin State Series Event and the second biggest field, 17 strong, both at the Ridge, was on hand to try to claim the win and set a challenge against Kevin Chaffee #73 Orange VT who went in the night as the points leader. Unfortunately for all Chaffee would get to the lead early and with only one caution to slow the pace, it was virtually impossible for anyone to set a true challenge at catching him. Gary Siemons #5 Orford NH had to make it to victory lane the hard way picking off cars starting from mid pack. The extra laps were not enough and Siemons was only able to make it up to second. Adam Pierson #15 Fairlee VT would have to work even harder to get to the top three coming from next to last, and by lap 30 he had made it to third, which would be as far as he would get this night, but happy just the same. A post race inspection of weight, tires, carbonator spacer, distributor, Headers, and Harmonic Balancer found all cars passing, with the final finish standing.
The Weglarz Property Service and Excavation mind race leader award winners for Mekkelsen RV mid season champion ship night were:#2 Tim Hodge in the Journal Opinion Fast Fours and #44 Gene Pierson in the Wells River Chevrolet Coupes.
