Octoberfest Day 2 Results, with Heat Videos Courtesy of Jeremy Westover

Guest · 2008-10-06T00:55:57Z

As one person said.."I paid $40 to see UFC one night and today i saw it plus racing."Yup lots of pushing, guys with bars in their hands, crashing, banging, a car on its roof, 2 on fire, a truck taken, fresh hamburger buns, not a place to stand or sit in the pits and a pretty good crowd in the stands.....like an old time Octoberfest.The Limited Late models had 18 start and it was #47 Walters and #8 Parker bumper to tail from start to finish. In fact they lapped everyone except the 3rd and 4th place cars, #99 and #34, and as they were , a caution fell. The #34 and #99 went to the pits, infact the #99 had to pit again later in the race because his hood fell off and what was left blocked his view, and still took his third spot in line when he came back out, because he had lapped everyone too. Really the only time Walters looked like he would have a problem winning this was during practise Saturday, when someone dumped fluid on the track and he spun in turn one backwards, stopping a foot from hitting the wall and in todays race, the 77 spun right in front of him between 3 and 4 making for a near miss.Supers started 12...Hanley took off and was leading, but pulled off, a spotter told me his rear end had gone. Then later a big wreck on the back side had the 83 in the air bad into the wall with the 7T and 54. The same spotter said "I hope we have 8 cars for Peterboro."A few cars hit the pits when the red flag was lifted, and it looked like only 5 would finish but they ran a number of caution laps and then dropped the green, but shorted it to 12 more laps to go. The remaining cars crossed...7, 22, 88, 52, 54, 68, 9.Thunder cars were crazy right from the 2 last chance races won by #84 a.k.a Santa and #31.#13 Collison, who I was told had a sour crate motor earlier in the year and just got a new one a few weeks back and has been flying ever since, took the lead and had #02 Erin Bailey chasing him the whole race. Back in the pack, all kinds of carnage was happening. Quite a few damaged cars in the end, some "see You at Peterboro, I'll have a bigger bumper !" and alot I cant print. #72 Russell slowly worked his way thru the field and on the last corner squeezed by Bailey for second. The officials came down to the pits and the crow bars were hidden and the mini feature started.30 cars took the green in the mini feature. The ones too watch were #31 Dave Bailey the Flamboro champ, #63 Burrows always a good finisher but loses in tech and the surprise kid that bought the #13 Honda from Sauble we were told and racing only in his second ever race.Lots of action, 3 and 4 wide sometimes. About 3 different packs of cars racing around the track. A couple of wrecks taking out top cars including the "pink honda".Then near the end it looked like 3 honda engines expire or start pouring smoke....the 24, 77 and another. As the checkers fell the new kid with the #13 honda crossed first, Burrows second Bailey third...but.....the new kid didnt kno his new hotrod had an illegal flywheel....and Burrows..."he passes tech"...so Bailey is second the 34 moved to third from last reports.Scott Lyons in the #9 had the hobby field covered , sorry I didnt catch the rest.The latemodels started 10 in the last chance and it was won by #44 Laking.First feature started 26 cars and was caution free till lap 19 with #07 and #4 getting into it, 3 laps later a big crash with the #06, #99 and #56x (tim ellis i was told). It was pretty well the #82 Jason Shaw's race to lose but at the finsih he won with the #8 Howse, #95, #37 dave Elliott following.The second 50 was inverted finisher start with non finishers behind, which included #52 Scott Lyons, who usually shines at these specials but pulled off early in the first 50 with problems.From the start #44 Laking was gone. During the race there were a few spins early, but Laking was gone on the restarts. The best car on the track, was the #8 of Howse who was slowly picking cars off and making his way too the front. He had made his way to 6th, when on a re start he was punted by the car behind him sending him to the infield, bring out a caution and him re starting tail. And then he was on his way too the front again.The worst crash of the race happened when #56 Stewart looked to get punted on the back straight, held on but clipped a passing car....then heading into turn one his tire must have blew, he had it locked up and he took the #4 right into the wall...the sparks were flying as the 4's underside climbed up it then it went over. The race was red flagged. And later i heard the driver Urlin took off in the cleanup crews truck to his pit stall. They say he has done that before at Delaware and somewhere else. #37 Dave Elliott and #95 Anthony Simone shared the first place overall win.Thundercar b feature started 12 cars, winner was #71 Mercer.Mini b feature started 14, #8 Sean Kokoski.Next up FrostFest 08, Nov.1 and 2.

Another side note...
I heard that Kenny Forth hurt his back during the heats on Saturday and that's why his hauler was there but he didnt race Sunday.
