Sonny Schoffen started his evening on a good note by set fast time for the Late Models.. Sonny Schoffen's night did not end as well as it started after getting caught up in a crash during the Late Model feature. Paul Dygon (#95) leads Keith Tolf (#52) on his way to victory in a Late Model heat race. Steve Doherty celebrates as he crosses the line to win the BIC feature. Bob Koch (#3) must have felt like the whole world was after him as the field goes four wide behind him in this BIC dash action. Eventual winner Todd Ross (#00) leads Tom Ross (#1) during the Sport Truck feature. Bill Trusky scored his first LGR win of the season by winning the Mini-Mod heat. Jeff Schultz (#74) beat Andy Krueger (#22) to the finish line to win the Weapons feature.

The late model feature was only three laps old, when Ken Johnson made contact with race leader Carrie Dygon, sending her around and collecting fast qualifier Sonny Schoffen, who slammed into the protection tire side ways Both Dygon and Schoffen needed tows to the pits, but no one was injuried. After the clean up, Ralph Gentile grabbed the lead with Jeff Steenbergen, Paul Dygon and Josh Wallace hot on his tail. The next Yellow Book USA caution period came on lap seven when Paul Edmundson got turned in four, with everyone missing him. The next green brought Steenbergen to the front as Gentile had problems as Wallace,Keith Tolf  and Brian Ulrich moving by. For the next four laps Wallace put the pressure on the leader and on lap twelve there was a new leader and he never looked back easily taking the win. Ulrich nipped Steenbergen for second, Gentile recovered for fourth and Tolf was on his heels for fifth.

It only took Kip Nototny five laps to move from last place in row six into the lead that was held by John LeSage and come home the victor in the non stop event. LeSage managed to hold on to second, Mark Findley was third, with Keith Christophersen fourth and Chris Bedore fifth in this fast race for the rascal outlaws.

In the mini modified feature Chris Thomazin led lap number one,before fast timer Glen Vernezze came through the field quickly taking the lead on lap two. Once in front it looked like the new leader would win the race, but with just one lap to go, a lapped car got in the way and Curt Thomazin who was some eight car lengths back, choose the high side and won the race over Vernezze, Bill Trusky, Mike Van Houten and Chris  Thomazin.

Kevin Hill darted out front of the BIC feature with Dan Giannotti taking over the front spot on lap two. This only lasted for five laps when something happened to the leader,as he retired to the pits and Hill came back in front until lap ten when Jack
Rabey became the third different leader. With the white flag out, Steve Doherty managed to stick his nose piece inside Rabey as they raced side by side for one lap before the   lead would change again. Doherty scurried home the winner with Lenny Adams nipping Rabey for second. Hill was fourth and Andy Portzen fifth in this non stop event.

The weapons division is still short on race cars,but not on action as Jeff Schultz moved in front at the drop of the green flag.Reid Kahrs Jr. and fast qualifier Andy Krueger neverlet the leader out of their sight, as both chased him throughout the event. On lap eleven Schultz got wide and Kahrs moved in front until the final lap when Schultz came back in front three times before winning the race over Krueger, Kahrs, Mark Tomasi and in the rent a race car ,Joe Delinger in another unstop event.

Vincent Merry in the Dale Gustum truck led the first half of the sport truck race before Todd Ross moved in front for the win. Tom Ross nipped Meery for second with Gary Johnson next and Bob Ross fifth.

Next Friday night the INEX legends and bandoleros return along with the late models, BICS and the sport trucks.Time trials begin at 6pm. with races at 7:30 sharp.
