July 22, 2006;  Lake Geneva, WI. - The weather forecast stated just 30 % chance of rain (same as Friday night and all day Sunday) and rain it did. But the show went on right at 7pm, despite cancelling time trials. Races were lined up, per average points. Eddie May from Crystal Lake, Illinois won the 40 lap super late model feature. Last week Dave Edwards of Salem won the 30 lap McHenry Limousine super stock feature, in the tech shack.

After Eddie May won the Super Late Model feature, he posed in Victory Lane with his #1 fan, Martin. Joe DeCubellis (#36) and eventual winner Dave Edwards (#5) wowed the crowd by battling side by side, lap after lap during the Super Stock feature. John Sojer (#55) tries to hold off eventual winner Tyler Peterson (#16) during the Super Stock semi-feature. One of the Super Stock heat races was won by Ken Eisbrenner. Reid Kahrs, Jr.(#97), Anthony Vito (#22) and Mike Herwald (#60) go three-wide during the Weapons division heat race. Herwald went on to win the event. Ken Jones took his brand new Mini-Cup car to Victory Lane after winning a heat race. The Mini-Cup feature saw this battle between Ken Jones (#3) and Sam Morici (#11). Morici took the victory.

Tonight Edwards won the feature race, on the track, in his second win of the season. Jeff Schultz of Lake Geneva won his third 20 lap weapons division feature race. Alex Yerdizerski of Wisconsin Dells was the surprise winner in his first career 20 lap feature race, for the Central states region/NASCAR super mini cups and Sam Reding of Crystal Lake,IL. took a clean sweep of the vintage race cars, by winning the heat and the 12 lap feature, in his Fred Lorenz relica 1965 Ford Galaxie.

The double greens were high in the air for the start of the super late model feature with pole sitters John Baumeister and Mike Lang in a dead heat for the lead. Lang led each lap at the strip, but on lap five, the first Yellow Book USA caution came out when Jason Hicks got together with Mike Gunderson who had just gotten by Baumeister. On the restart Terry Patnode flew in front after working on Lang for two laps. Two laps later Eddie May quickly followed with a new side by side show up front. On lap thirteen May was the new leader. On lap eighteen there was another caution and Landry Potter, in the Joe Fischer mount dropped out, from over heating. Potter returned but left again on lap twenty three for the remainder of the event, finishing fifteenth. On lap thirty four Sonny Schoffen got up on the wall, but made it down in one piece, that brought out another caution. Schoffen returned, finishing tenth.

May held back some serious challenges from Randy Rodgers the next five laps. The final lap was all May as he took the
win, over Rodgers, Mike Meyerhofer nipped Patnode at the wire, Jamie Wallace was fifth and Hicks rounded out the top six.

The super stock feature got off to a rocky start as Derrick Pierre and Nate Matz bumped together, causing Matz tire to go down. Out came the caution and on the restart Joe DeCubellis moved in front, with Craig Mertes on his trail. Sam Redman, Randy Schneider and Tom Roney diced back and forth for second. By lap eight Dave Edwards was moving up and by lap eleven second place Mertes could feel the pressure. Redman and Schneider raced too close causing Schneider to now have a tire go down, causing the final caution. DeCubellis had everything his own way for over twelve laps, but now Edwards got by Mertes on the restart, with Adam Regnier and John Maki Jr. all over Mertes. With ten laps to go, Edwards came in front, with Maki third. Those final ten laps were great, as DeCubellis moved back in front on lap twenty four and twenty five. The final lap was worth the price of admission. Edwards pulled off the win over DeCubellis at his side, Regnier nipped Maki at the line, with Mertes and Tom Jastrab side by side for a real thriller.

The weapons feature was another good one. Anthony Vito held onto the leadfor five laps, before Mark Tomasi inched his way in front. The field never got away from each other, as Mike Herwald joined the fray up front, taking over the lead on lap nine. It took Jeff Schultz until lap sixteen to gain the top spot, winning the race just ahead of Herwald.

Sam Morici took the lead coming for the wire at the checkered for a great race, with only one caution on lap eighteen of the twenty lap race. But Morici’s win was taken away in a post race inspecation at 2;30 am. This gave the win to Alex
Yerdizerski who led two laps. Ken Jones was next, Eric Gerhke third. Jeff Myers who led laps thirteen through seventeen was fouth. Mick Ellis was fifth in another close run race.

This coming Saturday night Cornwell Tool dealers sponsor the program. The open wheel rascal outlaws join the regular three divisions. Time trials will begin at 5;45 pm. racing is slated for 7pm.
