Fifth Rainout of the Season at LGR!  Super Late Model, Super Stock and Millennium Championships Next! By Dale R. Erdmann

September 13, 2003; Lake Geneva, WI. - For the first time since August 3rd. the weekly Saturday night race program at Lake Geneva Raceway was rained out. With this rain out we are nearing a record we do not want to break.

The Performance Unlimited sportsman division champoionship race has been postponed until Saturday night September 27th. This date will put the show on the Fall Classic weekend. This means that many Midwest sportsman championship series drivers who may not have been running with the Yellow Book series,will have to run.

The race could not take place next Saturday night because the series moves to Rockford Speedway for the Short Track Nationals weekend. ”We are very happy with this series and don’t want the regular weekly championship decided off the track because it rained out” stated Kevin Dawson Promoter of LGR.

Any Driver who has made 75 % of the regular weekly shows at LGR will be eligible for this championship race. The point leader is former legends driver Gary LaMonte of West Allis who holds a slim 150 point lead. Rookie Jeremy Miller is second in points and has the best shot to overcome LaMonte. Denny Norton Jr. and Jeremy Bloomberg are wild card drivers who still could win the crown. ”We can’t ask for a better bunch of drivers,as this division has grown,despite another track trying to buy our division”, added Dawson.

“Going back to the series,we never expected the support we have received at LGR,Rockford and Slinger”, said Dawson.The series will be back next season and looks like a part of one of LGR’s major shows.

Next Saturday night September 20th. the Budweiser super late models, McHenry Limousine super stocks and the S&P motorsportsman millennium late models will hold their championship races.

Jamie Wallace of Pell Lake is looking at his first championship under the true super Late model rules. Last time Wallace won was 1992 when the rules were limited. Second place Rick Corso and third place Wayne Freimund are looking at a very long
shot to win, but either could be second in this tight point battle.

The super stock championship will go down to the final lap as Sonny Schoffen of Crystal Lake, Illinois holds a small point lead of just 25 points over defending champion Rob Summers. Former top gun Jack Rubach will easily finish in third after starting out the first night in someone elses car.

The millennium late model division has 16 year Badger High School junior Jacob Humphrey from Lake Geneva holding a comfortable point lead. Jeff Goodwin and Sonny Schoffen a team are in second, just ahead of former sportsman champion Mike Lange.

Time trials begin at 5:45 pm. and the first race at 7 sharp.Saturday night  Racing continues through October 4th. Then October 18th. will be the original Goblin 250 Midwest stock car series enduro and the final oval track event for 2003 will be the Indian Summer Small car enduro on October 25th.
