feature win.
4-Cylinder
#83 Tom Zastrow, Sturgeon Bay, held off #2 Kenny Malcore,
Milwaukee in a great seesaw battle for the feature win.
In the 4-Cylinder heat, track point leaders, brothers #18
Nick Everard and #e8 Tony Everard, both of Green Bay,
flipped their cars on consecutive laps on the backstretch of
the clay oval. Nick flipped wildly for 5-1/2 revolutions,
ending on his roof while brother Tony flipped three times.
One observer mentioned that both cars nicked the inside
track barrier tire coming out of turn two, turning them
sideways and flipping. Neither driver was injured, but
you can see from Nick’s rollover, the importance of a window
net as his arm
comes out of the rolling car. “We’ll both be back next
week with our cars.” Tony and Nick Everard. |
Rick Mahlberg grabbed the lead on lap two and maintained the
lead through a series of cautions to win his first IMCA
Stockcar feature of the year. Eddie Anschutz won his second
feature win of the season in the IMCA Hobby Stock feature.

win his first feature of the season in the Street Stocks.
Tom Zastrow won his first feature of the season in the 4
cylinders. Joe Krauel won his third straight Bomber feature.
Scott Reinhardt led the first three laps in the Street Stock
feature before Von Eytcheson grabbed the lead on the inside
lane. Eytcheson led until the caution flag flew with three
laps to go. Eytcheson jumped back into the lead with Jeremy
Wiitala to the outside of him. As they crossed the start and
finish line and headed into turn one on the last lap the
caution flew for a Tim Jandrin spin. Once the white flag is
displayed the next flag can only be the checker. The race
goes back to the last completed lap. Eytcheson got the win
followed by Wiitala, Reinhardt, Geno Sternard, and Aaron
Thornton.
Ryan Lemieux led the first lap of the IMCA Stockcar feature
before getting loose in turn three handing the lead over to
Rick Mahlberg. Mahlberg continued to lead despite heavy
pressure from Todd Polster. Mahlberg continued to lead until
a Ben Kroll spin with six laps to go. In an unusual
circumstance for the Stockcars there where five more
cautions before the checkered flag flew. Mahlberg was able
to keep the lead with the green, white, checker finish.
Mahlberg went to win his first feature of the season
followed by Charlie Kroll, Matt Junio, Polster, and Pat
Davister.
Eric Van Iten led the opening five laps before Scott Boyea
made a move to the inside for the race lead. The duo stayed
side by side until the checkers. Boyea ran the bottom line
while Van Iten stayed in the middle to high groove on the
track. Art Siefert and Benji Lacrosse were left to battle
for third. Coming to the white flag, Boyea was finally able
to get enough momentum to keep the lead for good. It was
Boyea’s first career feature win at Thunderhill. Van Iten
finished runner-up followed by Siefert, Lacrosse, and Shawn
Kilgore.

with Zastrow nipping Malcore at the line for the win.

action, the top two in points, Brothers Tony and Nick
Everard both flipped their cars in consecutive laps. They
were both ok. “We’ll both be back next week with our cars.”
