Armentrout, & Roberts Take Wins
As 35 Raceway Park Let's Rain Pass & Opens Gate for 2008
Frankfort, Ohio April 26th- 35 Raceway Park opened for 2008 as early showers Saturday dissipated with a very nice afternoon and evening. Great for racings and it showed as a large crowd was on hand to witness excellent racing even though car count in each class was not idle, do to cars not done yet and others moving to the bigger class.
In the Mod-lite Dwarf car action Columbus's James Halfhill #46 was checking out on the class by lap 8. on lap 9 Halfhill caught a rut in turn 4 doing a 1 wheel stand an amazingly saving it. But not until Dennis Lamphier 6G and Richie Armentrout #21 and Toby Boetcher #53 passed him. As Armentrout dueled door to door several laps until Lamphier went high in turn 4 leaving Armentrout the position to take the point by lap 12. From then on it was the Richie Armentrout clinic as he piloted his new outlaw race chassis to the win in the feature and heat race, with Lamphier 2nd Boetcher 3rd, Halfhill 4th and Dave Taylor 5th. Next Saturday May 3rd In The Mt Dew 30 lap $600 to win for the Mod-Lites with several out of new cars expected to come and try to grab the green $$$$$.
In the Sportsman Dwarf car action Ricky Roberts #8R put on a race clinic checking out on the rest of the field as Josh Clifton #7 and Dennis Griffith #19 dueled for 2nd with Gary Waner #30 and Keith Blade #88 in close tow for 4th and 5th places. At the checkered it was Roberts, Clifton, Griffith, Warner and Blade.
During the intermission it was kids ride night. So all the kids got to ride with 1 of their favorite 4 cylinder drivers around the fastest 1/5 in the mid-west.
Some of the drivers also brought treats for the kids. Dayton Auto Racing Fan club (DARF) was also on hand for the evening activities. All feature winners received a DARF shirt. Next week is the Mt Dew Modlites Spring 30 with $600 to win.
