Friday Night at the Races

Snydersville's Friday night (8/1) attendance was light (perhaps due to the heat?) The controlled micros had some spirited racing nonetheless. Participating were the usual players: Harry Ladlee Sr., Lee Anne Tonkin, Mystie Gargone and Teri Morrison, accompanied by the lone micro-modified, Walter Morrison. The heat was relatively uneventful; the real action took place in our feature, which started off with Ladlee on the pole, Tonkin dropping out due to equipment failure, Gargone taking a spin and hitting the wall, and Teri ending up 2nd to Ladlee. Walt, of course, swept his class.

Winners were
Russ Benke Jr. Sportsman
Brian Correll Sr. Sportsman
Harry Ladlee Sr. Controlled
Walt Morrison Modified

Gargone reported that she had snapped a tie-rod (hence the crash), and that though she left the track in a sling expects to be back next week. We are all glad she wasn't injured enough to interrupt what has been an exciting season for her thus far.

We are anticipating some more action next week with a impending visit from M.O.M., a superior group of racers that always gives a much-welcome challenge for the Snydersville regulars. Should be a great show!
