Parkinson Wins Roy Smith Memorial

Langford BC. September 8th, 2012:

Western Speedway hosted the OTRA Series, Island Stock Cars, the last appearance for the Island Dwarf Cars, and the Richlock Rentals Non Wing Sprint Cars competing for the Roy Smith Memorial Trophy on Saturday night. James Dore picked up the Trophy Dash for the Dwarf Car Series, Chris Root was the winner for the Non Wing Sprint Car Dash, Tom Cinnamon won the OTRA Dash, while Dave Reside won the Stock Car Dash. Heat race winners included Brian Clutchey and Brandon Steen in the Stock Car Series, Duane Zeinstra and Larry Joyce won the OTRA Heats, Marc Parkinson and Deter Lajeune won the Sprint Car Heat races, while Joey Delorme and Mike Schott won Heat races in the Dwarf Car Series.
Tovay Helgesen and John McNabb shared the front row for the start of twenty-five laps of racing in the Island Dwarf Car Series and Shaun Whatt grabbed the lead on the first lap and held that through two. James Dore, driving for Ike Armitage, passed for the lead with Mike Schott moving into the second position and Dave Emmerson, who started in eleventh, moved up to third on lap three. On lap six, Emmerson blasted by Dore and checked out on the field. Meanwhile Dore and Schott had a great race going with Schott trying everything to gain the second position. On lap seventeen the yellow came out as Miles Maxie spun out in turn three. On the restart, Emmerson drove away again and went on to the chequered flag followed by James Dore, Mike Schott, Chris Halliday, and Tyler Peters rounding out the top five positions.
Ron Simpson and Kail Beck led eleven cars to the green flag for the start of the OTRA Feature event. Beck led the first lap until Jesse Dardengo passed for the lead on lap two dropping Beck back to second as Larry Joyce moved up to run in third. On lap eight, the yellow came out as one car spun in mid pack and several other drivers spun trying to avoid disaster. That included Tom Cinnamon, George Jenson, and James Miller and all cars were able to continue. On the restart, Dardengo went back to the lead followed by Beck and Duane Zeinstra. On lap eleven, Zeinstra went by Beck for second and started to run side by side and bumper to bumper with Dardengo for the lead with each other trading the lead at the line over the next several laps. On lap twenty the yellow came out as Zeinstra and Dardengo touched spinning Zeinstra around sending both drivers to the back of the pack for the restart. Larry Joyce and Tom Cinnamon battled briefly for the lead but it was Cinnamon who gained the lead outright by lap twenty-three. He took the chequered flag first followed by Joyce, James Miller, Beck, and Stephen Dardengo rounding out the top five positions.
Tyler Woods led twelve cars to the green flag for thirty-five laps of racing in the Stock Car Series but Wayne Hart jumped to the lead on lap one but going through turn one he spun out and everyone went by with no caution coming out. Brian Clutchey gained the lead by lap three as Dave Reside moved into the second position followed quickly by Cody Aumen. On lap eight, Brandon Steen moved into the fourth spot followed soon after by Kyle Cottam. Up front, Clutchey opened a bit of a lead on the rest of the field and began to lap some of the back markers. As the laps were running out, Brandon Hutchinson spun around and again everyone missed a collision and no yellow needed. Going through lapped traffic, Reside and Aumen closed the gap on Clutchey a bit but could not get close enough to attempt a pass. Clutchey went on for the win followed by Reside, Aumen, Steen, and Kyle Cottam rounding out the top five positions.
Jim Giles had the pole for the start of thirty laps of racing with the Richlock Rentals Non Wing Sprint Cars running for the Roy Smith Memorial Trophy. Eli Ross led for the first two laps until Marc Parkinson blasted into the lead on lap three followed quickly by Brain Bickford. On lap seven, Deter Lajeune moved up to the second position dropping Bickford back to third while Jeff Bird moved into the fourth position. On lap twelve, Bird moved up to the third position as Chris Root moved up to fourth. On lap twenty-one, Bird continued to move forward taking the second position as Root also made the move forward taking third one lap later. Root tried everything to get by Bird but the laps ran out and no one could catch Parkinson as he went on to claim the victory. Bird, Root, Lajeune, and Bickford rounded out the top five positions. This race only lasted eight minutes and eighteen seconds as they ran caution free from green to chequered flag in a well contested race.
Saturday, August 15th, is the next scheduled event at Western Speedway, and will feature the Black Press Carriers Night with the Demo Cars, Demo Trucks, Mini Figure 8s, the Bombers, and will also see the Hornets running on the big oval.

Langford BC., August 29th, 2012:

                The Steve Copp Construction sponsored Wednesday Night Fever events concluded the regular racing season tonight at Western Speedway for 2012 . Forty-four cars qualified to run three Trophy Dashes, eight Heat races and three Main events and determine a Champion. Trophy Dash wins went to Rocky Sandhu, Laura-Ashley Grant, and Tristan Gait. Heat race victories went to Rose Root, Kevin Dawson, Daryl Cahill, Cam Stanfield, Ian Walker, Laura-Ashley Grant, Derek Street, and Ryan Smith. The “Rookie of the Year Award went to Brad Aumen.

                Ryan Smith #33 led fifteen cars to the green flag for fifteen laps of racing in the C-Main. He was followed quickly by Kevin Dawson and Kyle Fournier. On lap eight, Ian Walker moved into the third position dropping Fournier back to fourth. This race was incident free with Smith taking the chequered flag first followed by Dawson, Walker, and Fournier moving up to the B-Main with Chris Santos rounding out the top five positions.

                Kyle Lajeunesse and Rocky Sandhu shared the front row for the start of the B-Main with Lajeunesse jumping into the early lead before Sandhu passed him on the second lap. Bruce Duffas took the second position on lap five and Andrew Buchanan took the third position two laps later. On lap nine Laura-Ashley Grant moved up to run fourth dropping Lajeunesse back to fifth and then moved up one more spot on lap eleven. Up front Rocky Sandhu had built a pretty good lead while Grant, Lajeunesse, and Daryn Cahill battled hard behind him. On lap sixteen, Ashley Grant took the second position with Lajeunesse getting the third position back again. Sandhu took the win followed by Ashley Grant, Lajeunesse, and Buchanan moving to the A-Feature event of the night and Cahill rounded out the top five.

                Cam Stanfield had his work cut out for him to repeat as Champion down fifty-three points to Ryan Smith as Mike Halls and Blair Davis led twenty cars to the green flag and twenty-five laps of racing in the Feature event of the night. Halls led for the first two laps and Stanfield, jumping from his fifth starting position, went by for the lead on lap three. Karl Parker moved up to run second on lap four and Davin Otke took the third position on lap eight. Up front Stanfield was building a healthy lead on the rest of the field until the yellow came out on lap seventeen as Glenn Rand spun around. On the double file restart, Stanfield had Parker on his outside for the resumption of green flag racing and Stanfield was very quick to get back to the lead. Stanfield took the Feature event of the night followed by Parker, Otke, Halls, and Derek Street rounding out the top five positions. The gains made by Stanfield was not enough as Ryan Smith won the Hornet title by twenty-two points for his first Championship with Stanfield, Graham Schuurman, Brad Aumen, and Mike Halls rounding out the top five in total points. There was an earlier announcement that there will be a winter series for the Hornet cars but the dates have yet to be confirmed and many of these drivers will probably be joining in those events. Darren Yates is the defending winter Enduro Champion. Congratulations must go to all the drivers as they have supported the Steve Copp Construction sponsored Series all season. Congratulations, in particular, to Ryan Smith as he reeled off five consecutive Feature event wins to open the 2012 season.

                The next event, at Western Speedway is on Friday the 31st of August followed by Saturday September 1st with the Big Rigs, a Bomber Invitational, Mini Figure 8s, a Truck Obstacle Course, and a Truck Jump with the Crusher Josh Beckel coming back for this event.]]> Western Speedway CanadianRacingOnline https://canadianracingonline.com/community/western-speedway/stanfield-wins-main-ryan-smith-wins-championship/
