Saturday Offroad
Slash “A” main
David Nelson TQed and lead the first couple laps till getting caught up in some lap traffic. Brandon Giles jumped into the lead for a lap only to be knocked back to third allowing Nelson back into the lead. About half way through David and Brandon got into a seesaw battle for the lead trading positions several time in a lap till Brandon made it through some traffic that David didn’t for the win. Tommy finished out in 3rd with the rent a ride from Scott. Clay and Anthony and Zach and Tom Lowe had they own seesaw battles for 4th and 6th respectively. All in all it seemed like a fun class close class to run in.
10.5 2wd Buggy “A” main
Paul Sinclair checked out at the start with Cornbread who had some brain fade early in the race and Brandon Giles who was running a JRX-2 with a mild mod motor, who had actually out qualified Cornbread, battled it out till Cornbread started putting in some consistent laps to put himself solidly in 2nd but by then it was too late to catch Paul.
Open 4wd buggy “A” main
Scott and Cornbread battled it out for fast lap of the day as Scott pulling a 14 flat 12 laps in. This didn’t deter Cornbread as he laid down a 13.8 on lap 23 only 2 laps from the end of the race. A last lap “catch me if you can” move by Scott put Cornbread only 2 seconds behind at the end.

Sunday Onroad
Trans AM “B” main
Robert Harrington took the lead on the 4 lap after a smoking 15.8 lap over Hayden Pirrera. Hayden tapped a couple walls allowing Robert to get gone and then had to start worrying about Dan McQuarter. the rest of the main pretty much stayed status quo till the end with Donnie Ford having some mechanical difficulties taking 4th.
Trans AM “A” main
After falling to second for the pole setter Myron he worked his way around Mike Holt who put in 3 blistering laps at the start but then fell to third behind Donald Martin. Donald could never recover enough to close on Myron who was running pretty consistent laps for the last half of the race. Neal Davis who had some trouble about ¾ into the race held on to 4th over Bobby Mills.
17.5 12th “A” main
Chris Cooper took the lead and then battle to hold on to it. He got wrecked by lap traffic, at least that’s what he told me, about 2/3rds into the race took a couple laps to recover but still finished last in the race.

Friday Night Offroad
Slash “B” main
Clay Gilbert actually qualified 4th with a T4 and a 19turn but wasn’t running for the money so graciously bumped back to battle with the “B” drivers for track time that he wanted more after having issues in the first qualifier and practice. But a lap in Tom Lowe the BQ in slash class took the lead and didn’t look back showing that he could have finished up in the field in the “A” main if he had gotten a better qualifier in. Conner finished second in class after Big”D” Hopkins and Brian Running Brett’s Slash had problems not allowing him to finish the main.
Slash “A” main
A rematch of last weeks Saturday Offroad main was brewing between Brandon Giles and David Nelson with Nelson TQing again and using that advantage to get out while Brandon had to battle with David Wall and Anthony Noia for the first couple laps. Noia rolled over and Brandon got by Wall for second and started tracking down Nelson. Although he got into close position he could not surmount the lead that Nelson had amassed as the battle for 3rd heated up between Shawn Gooch and David Wall. Those 2 battled for almost the full length of the race even though Wall had lost a lap to Gooch he battled back to finish only a couple seconds behind Shawn. With Kevin Premer, Anthony and Hollywood Hoskins finishing out the main after pretty much locking in their position 3 or so laps into the race.
10.5 2wd Buggy “A” main
Cornbread took TQ and said he was going to take his winnings to Mickey”D” for a happy meal so after a rough couple of first laps with Cornbread falling all the way to 3rd he worked back into the lead and started to put some distance on Donald Martin. After some slow laps for Cornbread, Donald was able to take the lead back with some hard charging laps which put Cornbread on the offensive. Cornbread working hard to catch up went into the sweeper hard flipped and broke a front arm dashing his hope of a happy meal. This locked Donald into first and bumped Mike Blick up to second. Cornbread as accumulated enough laps to hold on to 3rd with Zach Noia beating out John Brumley with a broke and out Clint Sweatt finishing 6th.
