Brian Weslow opened up the Street Stock Feature with a comfy
cushion over Dennis Weidner. Weidner would quickly power up
to the bumper and make the pass with Shannon Guilette taking
second. A lap 3 incident
involving Geno Sternard, James Iverson, and Tim Czarneski
stalled the field. Guilette used the restart to power to the
lead using the topside. Point leader Scott Reinhardt
followed second place driver Jeremy Wiitala to the top five.
Wiitala made his way to third but contact on the last lap
ended his championship hopes. Guilette cruised to a ¾ lap
win over second place Ryan Brandes. Weidner finished third
followed by James Iverson, and Scott Reinhardt.
Reinhardt who was the 2002 Bomber champ is the new 2007
Street Stock Champion.
Charlie Kroll this year has been the man to beat in the IMCA
Northern Sportmod Features. Kroll quickly shot to the inside
of the front row cars to grab the early lead. First time
runner this year, Doug Maurer quickly got to Kroll's back
bumper. Maurer tried every lane until halfway through the
race found enough momentum to take the lead down low. Maurer
cruised to victory with Mark Christenson second. Jeff Dubois
was third, Aaron Holliday fourth, and Kroll slipping to
fifth after spinning out. Dubois was named the track's first
IMCA Northern Sportmod Champion.
Roger Laviolette started fourth in the IMCA Hobby Stock
Feature but used a four-wide pass out of turn two to grab
the lead. Laviolette would suffer a flat right rear tire
ending his feature win hopes. Jeff Lautenbach inherited the
lead on lap 5 with Marcus Moede right behind. Moede would
try every single line but to no avail. Lautenbach won his
third feature of
the season with Moede settling for second. Jarred Van Lannen
finished third followed by Chris Christenson, and Brandon
Peterson. Frank Paul finished third but was later
disqualified for refusing a claim from John Hill. Keith
Kickbusch won his fourth career IMCA Hobby Stock Track
Championship. He now has two at Thunderhill and two at
Luxemburg.
Tom Stark led the opening laps of the IMCA Modified feature
before a caution on lap 5 for debris stalled the field.
Randy Lemieux would snatch the lead away from Stark on the
restart with Dan Rataczjak flying to second. Rataczjak made
the pass for the lead halfway through the race. A lap 15
caution for Stark setup a five lap dash for cash. Rataczjak
would go onto win the race but was later disqualified after
post-race tech. The win was awarded to Shawn Kilgore. Billy
Lemieux moved to second with Todd Dart third, and Benji
LaCrosse fourth. Jay Matthias rounded out the top five.
Benji LaCrosse was crowned the IMCA Modified Champion.
Gary Reinhardt led the majority of the IMCA Stockcar feature
that went green flag to checker flag. On lap 14, Scott
Pagels climbed to the outside and passed for the lead with
Charlie Kroll right on Pagels bumper. Kroll would duck under
Pagels at the white flag. Kroll would then gain the
advantage off of turn two. At the line Kroll edged Pagels
for the win. Reinhardt finished third followed by Troy
Muench and Shawn Havel. Matt Junio won his first career
track championship.
Kip Burlo fended off all challenges in winning the 4
Cylinder feature. Mike Sargent rolled his machine going into
turn one. Sargent was cleared to get back in the car.
Started the machine, and continued racing. Tony Everard won
his second straight 4 Cylinder Track Championship.
A nasty rollover by Bob Voight halted the Bomber feature
with 4 laps to go. Ryan Eichert picked up the win. Dan
Merkle won his third straight Bomber title.
Next Saturday Night the WDLMA are back in town. The regular
six classes will be running. THE BOMBERS WILL
NOT BE RACING. The track is located at the John MilesFair
