Before starting our heat races we paid tribute to the 911 victims as OUR FLAG was flying at half staff. Lewis, our announcer, led the Mini Stock field around the track with the flag before this class was given the one to go sign. September 11th and ALL of our hero’s from seven years ago will NEVER be forgotten!
Justin Maxwell led the first three laps of Mini Stock heat no. 1 but it was Michael Blade four thru eight for first in a two-minute caution free race.

What a race in the SPECIAL event of the evening as the Crate/Late Model Stock division took to the track with a field of nineteen cars. The first caution came on lap one as Jacob France got into the wall. The second and final caution came on lap two when Dwayne Oakley spun in turn two. On the restart it was Jerry Owens, who never looked back as he lead the full 40 laps of this race for the win. Wait … the top five have to go thru post race inspection!!
