Yes folks the Richmond camp had lots to grin about tonight with a Mod heat win and two feature top 5's. Congrats to them! ;DGreat nights racing, started out with a hot rod cruise and lotsa Beach Boys and Chuck Berry music, as well as a couple exhibition laps by AL Patrick's restored 02-B Ford coupes.Vintage Modifieds rocked and rolled with 16 cars making the trip. Gotta love the sight, and especially the sound of these old coupes. I just absolutely love watching these guys race, and in fact, they put on a whale of a race. (Someone forgot to tell them that 3 wide racing isn't normal, as they seemed to take every opportunity to do it, and caution free to boot.) Congrats to the Canadian Vintage Modifieds on a great show. (And say hi to Ray Hughes...I always root for him but he was absent this time around. Didn't look the same without that black and yellow 24 car.)Powerade ModifiedsHeat 1 Features some great side by side racing between Hendricks and Richmond for the lead. Richmond takes it on the outside and Hendricks bobbles enough for McCullough to get past.1st 24-Richmond, 2nd 39-McCullough, 3rd 38-HendricksHeat 2 New guy, Adam Addams is in this one, but pretty much stays at the back. This race is primarily a 2 car race between Shipway and Cox. 1st 3-Cox, 2nd 88-Shipway, 3rd-1-NewmanFeature This feature starts with a flashback to the heat race where once again, Richmond and Hendricks battle side by side for the lead. This time its Richmond who falls off slightly to let 39-McCullough through. Wouldn't you know it, but a couple laps later, Richmond and Hendricks are side by side again, this time for 2nd. While this battle is going on, there's another race shaping up for 3rd between Limon, Newman and Shipway. Newman wins this tilt, and before long, he's up past Richmond for 2nd. At the 16th lap, the 31 car of Addams goes around by itself to bring out the caution and set up the rest of the race.At the green, now McCullough and Newman are on rails, leaving Richmond in 3rd and battling to hold 3-Cox off. Newman tries McCullough hard, but its the 39 car's night. Richmond does manage to keep Cox behind him too...quite a feat in itself. FINAL 1st 39-McCullough , 2nd 1-Newman, 3rd 24-Richmond, 4th 3-Cox, 5th 54-Limon----------------------------------------------------Super Stocks Heat 1 Dave Silverthorne Jr is piloting the 66 car for Jens Peters, who suffered a broken wrist in an accident the last time out. Silverthorn jumps out front but 7-Sheilds gives chase. There's a caution when Lawrence and DeJesus get together in turn 1-2, and on the restart, Sheilds jumps the green. Black flag is shown to him but he repeatedly ignores it, putting some serious pressure on Silverthorne. Sheilds crosses the line in 2nd, but of course is DQd.1st 66-Silverthorne, 2nd 04-Humphreys, 3rd 28-LawrenceHeat 2 This was a pretty good race featuring the stoutest of the SS performers racing in one big pack. 67 and 76-Reid battle side by side for a full 5 laps, and 67 manages to pull out front at the halfway mark. 99-Nagy puts some pressure on 67 but cant close the deal.1st 67-, 2nd 99-Nagy, 3rd 11-LidsterFeatureRace starts with an incident involving 52-Clark and 48-McColl that ends with the 52 car getting cradled back to the pits, and the driver none too happy with McColl.It was Jimmy Mairs was the class of the field in the feature. He got out front and built a huge lead while the rest of the top runners all jockeyed for position. By the time it was over, Lidster and Lake were just starting to reel him in, but they ran out of time. FINAL 1st 5-Mairs, 2nd 11-Lidster, 3rd 77-Lake, 4th 51-Rabideau, 5th 24-RichmondPS Congrats to the Perkins team. Tonight featured the return of "Gert", sponsored by George Costanza's Vandelay Industries. Gert is the Perkins back up car. She struggled a little keeping up with the top guns, but as a whole, not too shabby. Great work guys and glad to see having your car totaled wasn't enough to keep ya down!----------------------------------------------------------------Lucas Oil Vintage ModifiedsHeat 1 1st 00-Easton, 2nd 19-Karley (?), 3rd 5-Podd/McIntyreHeat 2 1st 0-Phil Shaw, 2nd 38-Hood, 3rd 1-SauderFeatureVintage Modified rocked tonight going flag to flag caution free, and still a heck of a race to boot. 81-Jeff Shaw takes an early lead but the twin lime-green cars of 00-Easton and 18-Keen are bearing up quickly. Before too long the 46 car of Mike Klotz is pressuring Shaw for the lead and soon makes the pass, and now the race is for 2nd between 81-Shaw and 5-Podd.Now a few laps later, 81-Shaw is dropping back and 0-Shaw is on the way up. It shapes up as a furious battle between the two for 5th with lots of rubbing. 0-Shaw pulls ahead to take 5th, and just before the checkers fly, 81-Shaw heads inexplicably down pit road and out of the race. 0-Shaw actually looked like the top dog tonight but got stuck in traffic early ...
